How many chances should these interviewers have given their candidates? A lot of these interviewers were surprisingly lenient on their interviewees.
Going for a job interview is one of those universally scary human experiences. Whether you're 15 or 55, it's still a nerve-wracking endeavor each time. You've got to print out your resumes, read up on the company, iron that business suit, and show up early with a smile on your face. If that seems like just the bare minimum for you, just read these anecdotes. It'll make you feel so much better about that one interview you completely bombed.
I had no idea how many people like to show up to job interviews in dirty clothing! U/scorpioskillz asked, "Interviewers of Reddit, what's the worst interview you have ever conducted?" and the answers were stunning. A few of these managers greeted their job candidates only to realize the candidate was wearing a grubby tee shirt and shorts. Others didn't have a resume printed out, so they typed a sentence or two and called that their resume.
Aside from that, a lot of folks just did not understand that if they act weirdly toward their interviewer or the receptionist, the job is not going to be theirs. Never ever underestimate office receptionists: they run everything, and their opinions can decide your fate.
