15+ Job candidates whose mid-interview mistakes cost them the job: 'I could barely contain my laughter'

There are bad job interviews, and then there are candidates who lie to their interviewer's faces, or cry 3 separate times in one meeting. All of us have flubbed a question or 3, or we've misread the room and turned the conversation into an awkward silence. But some people really go above and beyond when it comes to flunking their job interviews. They almost make it look impressive!

These folks were kind enough to share what happened during their worst job interview sessions. As mentioned, one woman did cry 3 times during the interview. Why? Because she was very unhappy at her current job, and was hoping to leave ASAP. I understand her emotions… when you desperately want to leave a bad job, you'll cling to any job that comes your way. Still, no matter how upset you are, you've got to at least try and contain your tears until you've completed the interview. Even when you put your best foot forward, it still may not be enough. Crying at your interview just highlights that you won't do well under pressure or that you're not able to separate your work life from your personal life. Even the best candidate in the world won't get a callback after behavior like that. And this woman isn't even the worst interviewee here! Check out the other candidates who messed up badly by scrolling below.
