Job interviews are such a grueling process, that it's hard not to get discouraged. Companies expect a lot from candidates nowadays and will put you through 8 interviews with different hiring managers and department heads, then give you multiple tests to evaluate your skills, and finally, reject you via an email or worse, fail to let you know about the next steps. In other words, it's exhausting, infuriating, and it doesn't give you much incentive to keep job searching, even though most of the time, you don't have a choice.

One candidate went through a horrible interview with a woman who thought the sun shined for her. She kept telling him that he needed to sell himself better, and undermined his abilities to do the job. The candidate was confused. If he was so underqualified, why did they even want him? Probably to lowball him if he gets an offer. Scroll down to read how the candidate cleverly responded to the interviewer, and then check out this college student who landed herself a curfew after acting like a total child.
