Speaker 1: This is the Chrissy Swan Show. We're talking about terrible
Speaker 1: job interviews thirteen twenty four ten. Have you been in one?
Speaker 1: Have you conducted one? Have you driven away in the
Speaker 1: middle of one? Like maybe someone in this studio has.
Speaker 2: I look forward to hearing about that.
Speaker 1: The reason we're talking about this is an article that's
Speaker 1: just been published, a viral text message exchange has gone,
Speaker 1: has taken the world by.
Speaker 3: Storm, and we are going we're going to re enact it.
Speaker 1: We're going to role play Jack. Yes, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to play the role of the applicant.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to play the role of the recruiter.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you're not show how these things work, the recruiter.
Speaker 1: So I'm the applicant. I go to the recruiter, I
Speaker 1: say I would like a job. These are my skills.
Speaker 1: The recruiter finds a job for you. You go to
Speaker 1: the interview, but the company contacts the recruiting company, not you,
Speaker 1: to tell you that your successful or not.
Speaker 5: So this message, this phone is in the hands of
Speaker 5: you swanning the applicant, But the recruiter sends a message saying, hey,
Speaker 5: Catherine just tried to call you.
Speaker 2: I am sorry to say you didn't get the job.
Speaker 2: I just heard from.
Speaker 1: Them, and then I say, it's a shame. Really thought
Speaker 1: it went well? Did they say why?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: They said they absolutely loved meeting you, but your questions
Speaker 5: were too financially orientated.
Speaker 3: What on earth does that mean?
Speaker 2: Apparently you ask about money a lot? Is that true?
Speaker 1: That's not what Apparently you asked about money a lot?
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that? Applicant? You know the question what
Speaker 3: can you bring to the role? Yeah, I'll answer that
Speaker 3: in a minute, but how much are you going to
Speaker 3: give me?
Speaker 1: And it is It's an easy mistake to make because,
Speaker 1: of course, the bottom line is we work for money, absolutely,
Speaker 1: like you know, our work for example, is a joy.
Speaker 1: But they're being times where really I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: looking half of the money. I've had some terrible job interviews.
Speaker 2: Yeah, give me one, give me one.
Speaker 3: Well, I've got two.
Speaker 1: I mean there's probably more, but these are the top
Speaker 1: two worst beteen twenty four ten. By the way, have
Speaker 1: you endured a terrible job interview? And generally by terrible,
Speaker 1: I mean were you terrible? You shameful? That's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about here. I went for an interview. It was
Speaker 1: back when I was looking for a job in advertising,
Speaker 1: and the guy was very weird during the during the interview,
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh god, he just hates me.
Speaker 3: Anyway, he left the room and I thought, what's going on?
Speaker 1: And I looked down and my entire shirt was open
Speaker 1: down to the last button. I got a brand new shirt,
Speaker 1: and my boobs had completely busted out.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised you didn't say you've got it for me,
Speaker 2: he walked in.
Speaker 3: It's not nineteen sixty anyway.
Speaker 1: The other one I had was I was there used
Speaker 1: to be a thing in the olden days called video stores,
Speaker 1: and I went for a job at Video Easy. Oh great,
Speaker 1: And the guys that run it took it so seriously.
Speaker 3: Which is great.
Speaker 1: It's there's small business or whatever, but come on, it's
Speaker 1: a video rental shop.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 5: They were like gamer types and they take those jobs seriously.
Speaker 3: So seriously.
Speaker 1: So the interview had been going for forty five minutes
Speaker 1: to an hour at a video store man. Anyway, they
Speaker 1: were asking questions like, you know, what could you bring
Speaker 1: to this role, and you know what makes you tick
Speaker 1: and all this sort of stuff, and about halfway through
Speaker 1: I just went, you know what, I don't want this job.
Speaker 1: I don't want to ever see you again. So I said,
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I said, I can hear my
Speaker 1: phone ringing in my car. I got I did.
Speaker 5: Did you not realize that they would understand that they
Speaker 5: could also hear that phone should have been ringing at
Speaker 5: that stage.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to go, and I made something up
Speaker 1: and then I went to my car and I drove away.
Speaker 2: That is so. That is Pete Koty created to be
Speaker 2: seen again.
Speaker 5: I love it so much. Thirteen twenty four to ten.
Speaker 5: Tell us about your bad job interview. We might give
Speaker 5: you a pass to the movies giving giving me a
Speaker 5: brought up videos.
Speaker 3: The greasiest one show.
Speaker 1: A viral at text exchange is taking the work by storm.
Speaker 1: A recruiter has had to say to their applicant.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I've heard from the from the company and you did
Speaker 1: not get the interview because all you talked about was money,
Speaker 1: which is probably a mistake that applicant will not make again.
Speaker 1: Thirteen twenty four ten. What is the worst interview that
Speaker 1: you've ever experienced? Hello, Mandy, Hello, when I said.
Speaker 6: I love your show, just tell you that I when
Speaker 6: I first came to Australia about twenty five years ago.
Speaker 6: I had a job interview at a graphic design studio,
Speaker 6: A beautiful offers, a beautiful white everything was white, white lambshade,
Speaker 6: white disc everything was beautiful and white. Anyway, had the
Speaker 6: interview and back in those days you filled out everything
Speaker 6: by hand, falls by hand, and.
Speaker 4: There was a pen holder on the desk and I
Speaker 4: picked up a pen and it didn't work. So I
Speaker 4: gave it a good shake and it fill didn't work.
Speaker 4: And then I realized that one of those old pins
Speaker 4: where the back had flown out, and ink had flown
Speaker 4: every week nowhere in the keyboard, on the beautiful lampshade,
Speaker 4: absolutely everywhere, And they just told me to get.
Speaker 1: Out, really before you'd even had a crack at the interview.
Speaker 4: Yep, I destroyed their office.
Speaker 5: I think that's the worst sort of place to damage
Speaker 5: the surroundings because people in those offices, like graphic designers
Speaker 5: and stuff, they care about their surroundings.
Speaker 4: Yea, as was black ink everywhere.
Speaker 6: I don't even know. I just got out of it.
Speaker 4: I was so speat.
Speaker 3: Is that your personality?
Speaker 1: Many like you're like me, Like wherever you go, there's
Speaker 1: mess like, you know, next time you turned up for work,
Speaker 1: if you got the job, you would have had dog
Speaker 1: poo on your foot and then you would have walked
Speaker 1: that all through the office.
Speaker 4: I can't I can't heat without stopping my.
Speaker 2: Food on me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, you're going to send you a double past
Speaker 5: to Gladiated to exclusive to Cinemas.
Speaker 2: Now let's go to Rachel h Raight.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, Hi, well you were something went wrong in
Speaker 3: a video interview. Yeah.
Speaker 7: It was me and the screen and once you press start,
Speaker 7: you couldn't go back, and it started recording you and
Speaker 7: a question would come up on the screen. You'd have
Speaker 7: to read it, and then within thirty seconds you'd have
Speaker 7: to start giving your answer. And halfway through my answer,
Speaker 7: I forgot what the question was. And let's just say
Speaker 7: I did not get the job.
Speaker 3: Oh that sounds very anxiety inducing.
Speaker 7: It was horrible. And normally you talk back and forth
Speaker 7: with the interviewer and you you know, you get can
Speaker 7: you listen?
Speaker 2: And you it was it was Rachel, what job were
Speaker 2: you going for?
Speaker 7: It was for a teaching role.
Speaker 2: No, it shouldn't be a computer operated it should be
Speaker 2: face to face with the principal or something.
Speaker 3: Rackley I've never heard of such a thing. That is crazy.
Speaker 2: A double pass to see Gladiated too for you too, Race.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I wouldn't cope with that.
Speaker 1: I'd be I'd just be either rambling like an idiot
Speaker 1: or just staring at the green like huh.

Speaker 8: wear skirts, must have stockings underneath. And I went, oh, sorry,
Speaker 8: I'm not going to waste any more of your time.
Speaker 8: When I walked out, that.
Speaker 3: Is a very odd request for an interior designer.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I thought so too. I thought it's got
Speaker 8: nothing to do with my skills.
Speaker 2: So so ya Sala.
Speaker 9: The Creasy Swan Show, The Creasy Swan Show.

Speaker 3: Oh my god, my favorite.
Speaker 1: And of course, after his amazing speech at the Arias,

Speaker 1: troic mately. He just says sort of shocking, weird things.
Speaker 1: They just come out of his MiG At the Arias.
Speaker 1: It was a really personal story that you would tell,
Speaker 1: you know, to maybe a handful of people, and it's
Speaker 1: just he just blurts it out. And then he's having this,
Speaker 1: you know, presumably quite a civilized interview, and he goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad got shot in the head with an ailbun.
Speaker 5: You're right, it's the delivery is so nonchalant and it's no filter.
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know if I should be saying this.
Speaker 3: Oh it's stuff, and I'm going to say it.
Speaker 5: And then a graphic appeared of the nail in his dad's.
Speaker 3: Head and that is deep in there. How does that
Speaker 3: even happen?
Speaker 5: How do you like live through that? That looks like
Speaker 5: it would go into the brain.
Speaker 3: But I think it did. I think it did go.
Speaker 3: Like it was.
Speaker 1: It was very very serious and as he said, an
Speaker 1: absolute miracle. I am terrified of workshop tools and appliances.
Speaker 3: I really really am.

Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, even just the sight of the blade,
Speaker 5: that drop was that one?
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I feel like they should be reserved for horror films.

Speaker 2: Nail guns should be like illegal. They just look scary.
Speaker 3: I feel like you're right, you could kill someone with one.
