Everyone has made an interview flub at some point in their professional careers that haunts them until retirement. If for whatever reason this does not apply to you, then congratulations because you are a unicorn individual. The rest of us are still having stress dreams about that one time six years ago we embarrassed ourselves out of a potentially great opportunity.

Perhaps you got something incredibly wrong about the company or perhaps you embellished your resume to get your foot in the door and then got caught in a lie. Look, let this serve as a safe space because there is absolutely no judgment here. You have to do what you have to do in order to get work. If that means convincing a recruiter that you speak four languages fluently when in reality, you spend five minutes a day translating the same sentence on Duo Lingo, then so be it. 

Keep scrolling below for this collection of interview memes and flubs. For more, check out this post about some mildly infuriating workplace anecdotes.
