30 Job candidates who gave bizarre answers to their interviewers: 'Is this going to take long? I'm parked in a 15 minute spot'

There are some things you just should never do in an interview, no matter how casual the vibe may seem. It's an easy mistake to make! Interviewing for a job is one of those tasks that doesn't necessarily get easier as you grow older and wiser. That's because it's all but impossible to tell how you're doing during the interview.

 There have been so many times I went into an interview and thought I did incredible, only to then be turned down. I've also gone to interviews where I thought I did just okay, or terribly, and still got a second interview. I've also gotten tricked by interviewers who kept the tone very casual, leading to some answers that definitely weren't as good as they could've been. Interviewers know how stressful the process can be, and they try to get the candidates to relax so that they can give their best answers. But this can quickly lead candidates to act too casual, or possibly be way too honest! The people below totally blew their chances at getting the job… better luck next time!
