Today, for this one for a big lit firm, I was talking about the legality of marijuana (for a summer job) and the interviewer asked about whether it was limited by federal interstate commerce. I completely blanked out and said that I didn't think that came up. I'm pretty sure they were testing to see if I could remember Raich on the spot.

Classmate must have felt so bad and left early. I know this cuz I was right after him and waited outside 10 mins before mine. Turns out the said classmate wasn't even in the room by the time I went in...and our interviews were back to back. The interviewer was quite rude, abrasive, somewhat unprofessional, and cursed a lot.

There's something about showering that makes me realize all the fuckups I made on interviews I thought I had done well in.
Today, for this one for a big lit firm, I was talking about the legality of marijuana (for a summer job) and the interviewer asked about whether it was limited by federal interstate commerce. I completely blanked out and said that I didn't think that came up. I'm pretty sure they were testing to see if I could remember Raich on the spot. In another one for a big V10's satellite, I emphasized my knowledge of the firm by talking about its centralized assignment system only to realize now that it probably came off as being less excited about working in the secondary market.
I bet these are the subtle things that explain why interviews people thought were "good conversations" end up as dings.

I come into the room and interviewer is already sitting down. We chat about rowing (I rowed in college) and she mentions she was a coxswain. Coxswains are usually pretty short. We both stand up as the interview comes to and end, and I say "Wow! You are pretty short!" ....
I wanted to slap myself as soon as I said it.
Luckily she was cool about it and we both kind of laughed about our differing heights.
GOT A CALLBACK.

--started talking shit about my school and the city, and even used the word "city girl". I visibly saw the change of color on the interviewer's face. I did not know that city girl might mean ghetto girl in certain places.
that was my first interview. then I started to realize interviews are not the places for me to make friends or play cute, its the place where people are expecting stardardized answers and if you fall below that criteria, that will make their crossing you out easier than others.

FluffMonster wrote:Worst interview I've had turned into a callback ironically enough. There were so many things that I thought went wrong. At one point, the interviewer asked me my favorite contracts concept. I totally blanked and made some dumb general statement about how contracts are such a huge component of everyday life and rambled about implied contracts in products... the interviewer was like "That's torts, but we'll move on." I tried to get a joke in at one point to lighten the mood and it did NOT land well. He responded with "I'm not going to argue with you" and then just moved on to the next question.
