I went for a second interview for a job in Mayfair and towards the end one of the women interviewing me said “so just wondering what your thoughts are on this” and pulled out a printed out copy of my tweet mocking their portrait of Margaret Thatcher from the previous interview https://t.co/LLIj976u10

I walked up the stairs to the very top and met the woman. I thought she was gesturing to the door ahead of her so I walked over, opening it and went inside. It was a storage cupboard. She stood there and watched.

The only lady on the interview panel asked why I wasn’t married, because at my age she already had her first child.
Me: Congratulations ma’am. My path is different from yours.
The men were visibly embarrassed. https://t.co/Hr5FVHbcrx— Àṣàkẹ́ (@Omodayo29) January 19, 2020

When I was 18 I interviewed with Chipotle. They asked me how working at Chipotle, specifically, would prepare me for a career in infectious disease research, specifically, and I said “well, you guys do have a lot of E. coli”
I didn’t get the job https://t.co/19Pee4vDoh

Doing the student milk round for finance jobs. Night before interview for a major player, did my pub shift. Woman in there was blind drunk, aggressive, lairy, and then took her top and bra off. Threw her into a taxi. Walked into interview, she was the (badly hungover) interviewer

First interview after getting my wheelchair.
Interviewer walked in, stopped dead in their tracks, looked down at my resume, back at me.
Asked “Hannah?”. I replied, yes that’s me.
They mumbled “Clearly this resume is fake then”, and walked out the door. https://t.co/MIziK0nTKP— Eternally out of Spell Slots. (@Ixzianna) January 17, 2020

I should add that Tom Reid who interviewed me was as nice as pie. Once we both knew where we stood, we talked about football for a while and I went on my way. I do sometimes wonder… what if I’d fluked it and been the Deputy European Bureau Chief of the Washington Post aged 21..?

During the interview for my first job post PhD I said:
“I have no experience. It’s like I’ve read a dictionary but I’m yet to pick up the pen”.
I got the job.
A few weeks later I was fired due to lack of experience. They said they thought I was being modest in the interview. https://t.co/BwXqmsAjor
