'Does she think this is my dream job?!': Interview goes horribly wrong when the interviewee forgets the position he applied for

Looking for a job is stressful, mainly because you need to send out 1,000 resumes and chit-chat with 100 interviewers before ever getting into a room with a company to discuss the job. For that reason, a lot of folks looking for work will often spam out their resume in a mass-application, which inevitably leads to them forgetting what position they're even applying for. We just need a job, okay? In this case, this spray-and-pray approach backfired when a prospective hire totally spaced out, while sitting on an interview, throwing that lead out the window before the call was even over.

After sending out 30 resumes in a hurry and trying to get a job as quickly as possible, OP received a phone call from an unknown number. Running on nearly zero hours of sleep, OP attempted to jolt his brain back to life when he heard the voice on his phone was a woman following up regarding his recent application. Still foggy from sleeplessness, and failing to recall which company she claimed she worked for, OP decided to wing-it during the phone interview. 

Keep scrolling for the full account of how this interviewee totally botched his first impression with a potential job opportunity, resulting in a confusing phone call, an angry interviewer, and an endless job search.
