[quote=Anonymous]I was in a group interview once. We didn't know it would be a group interview and about eight of us were sitting around the receptionist area eyeing each other until we all got called in at the same time. I was about to graduate from grad school and it very quickly became obvious that I was the least experienced person in the room. I didn't get the job, but I did learn a lot about other people's interview styles, the type of interviewee I did/did not want to be, and how experienced people in the field responded to questions. So I guess it was useful, even though somewhat off putting.

My worst interview was also my weirdest. We were relocating here from NY and I got a call from HR at a company where a friend had submitted my resume. They asked if I could be in DC in two days to meet with some people. I took off work, bought a train ticket, and came down to discover is been invited to a job fair with thousands of attendees. I finally got to speak to someone and I had been sitting in front of them for no more than sixty seconds when the same HR lady who'd called me walks over, literally pulls the chair out from underneath me so I almost fell on the floor, and tells the man I'm talking to, "You really need to meet X" and gives X my seat while I'm standing there like an idiot.
