Job seeker fails interview after being asked simple question by manager

Must read

A job hunter has recounted the cringe-worthy moment they botched an interview with a simple misunderstanding.

The applicant found themselves in hot water during an interview when they completely misread a straightforward question, leaving them utterly embarrassed.




The incident was later shared by the mortified candidate on social media, where she encouraged others to divulge their own interview mishaps, reports the Mirror.

She queried online: “What’s the earliest you’ve messed up a job interview? ” before revealing her own blunder by adding: “I was asked, ‘Tell me how you got here today? ‘ and I said by bus. I got a stone-cold stare as the realisation hit me.”

In her Reddit post, she elaborated: “He meant in my career not to the physical office. The remaining 58 minutes were going through the motions.”

Other Reddit users chimed in with laughter and sympathy, acknowledging that the mistake was understandable.

One sympathised: “To be honest, that’s a weird way to phrase the question.”
