Work stories
Writer Jim Felton shared a story about a rather unusual job interview where there was no handle on the interview room door. "To open it, they had to borrow 'the spoon' from the boss and jam it in the mechanism." And his Twitter followers responded with their own
red flags..
1. "Spent an hour in their open plan office and not a single phone rang."
2. "I once did an interview for Pets At Home for their head office, and being terrible at remembering good questions to ask them, when they said: "Do you have any questions for us?" I said: "Yes, what's your favourite pet?" They stared looking really disappointed in me."
3. I went for a job at an advertising agency and was taken through to a room with bizarre low, deep leather chairs. Throughout the interview, the leather creaked fart noises and, as we finished, the interviewer had to hoist me up as I literally couldn't by myself. Hideous.
