Had to sit down and be interviewed by someone you rather through off a building. Today it happened to me and I knew better. Took my friend that just moved here to apply for a job in the electrical field. I was just the seeing eye dog for him. While we were sitting waiting for his interview I was talked into applying for an area supervisor job by this companies recruiter,service manager,and my friend. Passed all test with A+ written and work. Was even called a genious again.
Well the last part was the interview with a person I can't stand. He started with something that happened 15 yrs ago a few barbs at me too then said I was not a good fit for the company. He was almost fired 15 yrs ago the only thing that saved him was I told him to go f himself we both got probation. All I said to him was it's ok I did not want to apply here anyway very polite then left.

I have had interviews in which I was not to fond of the guy by the time the interview was over.

No, forgive my grin. Have had what I would call hard interviews, even one 'stress interview' ...but, thankfully the people whom did interview me were knowledgable and courteous. No sir....just have to maintain your demeanor and tell them thank you and LEAVE.
Sounds like you did your best.... Can't change the world
God Bless Lee

How did you do on the spelling test? I'm usually good for about a 90.

Showed my license. He knew my capabilities 15 yrs ago he was supervisor that was a coke addict and drunk that no one would work with. I was asked to run field labor as a favor to the big boss. In other words I was asked to bail out the job and I did. I had finished more than I was supposed to and transfered to another big project just got the crew cookin when I was asked to go back and fix his screw ups. That I told him he was wrong on when I started on his job. Well I blew a head gasket when I got there and was told what was up. He falsified company docs that I had coppies of told lie after lie to the office. He tried to have me fired I presented the docs to the office and signatures for as builts that I turned over. Big boss looked at me and said it is a shame you had to do this it should never happen. Got probation for blowing the head gasket.
