- When applying for a job feel free to list me Matt Rose as a reference and I will inform any employer that you're more affable & hard-working than Christ and Edison combined. "They're a modern-day Credison!" I'll yell passionately. "Don't hire them at your peril skullllemmojiiiii!"
I read the title fine
Thanks, not sure what so many people mean about misreading it, odd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cratulations!!!

How can a flame be frozen you filthy liar
I did too, like more than half of the comments here are saying they read it wrong.
I like how some of these are just small mistakes and the others are my worst fears 💀
Half of these the interviewer probably didn’t even notice and the other half are absolute nightmare fuel

“Cup of sex” 😭😭😭
They asked: "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?"
I heard: "Have you ever heard of baloney?"
My answer: "Yes, why? Am I going to need that here?"
that’s such a strange thing to ask 😭

Gonna have to consider signing my future letters "sinisterly" from now on.

My friend has a polish cousin, and he didn't know the word for vomiting. So when his little brother suddenly began throwing up, he ran to his family saying, ''HELP, HE'S... umm... REFUNDING HIS FOOD''
Lol that's a great idea. I have two stories of that:
A Polish family-friend told her male colleagues she had a "breast" on her arm, and lifted up her sleeve to reveal a bruise.
My Bangladeshi dad said to a lady "I'll keep touching you" instead of "I'll keep in touch."
@@anisah8546 both of those are the most cursed things i have ever heard 💀

Out of all people, the one to say he was gonna blow up a library got a job
The interviewer must have really wanted to protect the local library.
Bomb threats tend to make people really generous, I can’t quite tell why though.
Reminds me of that one video about "cringe things done to impress crushes". Out of all of the other candidates, consisting of laughably awful and goofy but having potential, the succeeding one was something along the lines of "I put multiple organs of animals - cow eyes, pigs livers - in a jar and gave it to her as a gift"
maybe the job was for a demolition company.

"How to blow Job Interview" 💀
Been a while since a single letter carried so much power.
It is
ITS NOT DOING ENOUGH 💀
WHERE
These stories make me feel much better… a few I can recall
1) My shirt kept unbuttoning itself, rather than acknowledge it I kept doing the buttons back up whilst I answered their questions.
2) I left my bag in the interview room. I didn’t realise until I’d left the building and the interviewer had to be called back down to escort me to the room to collect the bag
3) Spilt coffee down my white shirt before the interview, so I refused to take my jacket off. It was the middle of a heatwave and the building didn’t have AC (it was in England). They kept saying, it’s really ok you can take your jacket and tie off. But I kept refusing, insisting I was okay - even though sweat was visible rolling down my face, into my eyes and off the end of my nose.
And I got one of those jobs… so chin up buddy if you have an embarrassing experience

I cant believe the interviewers did not tell him he is going the wrong way.
absolutely loved that one, I can't believe they just left him in there for 20 minutes 😂
@@strogonoffcoreliterally my first thought as well when I saw that one 😂
20 minutes wondering if this life is really worth living :.)
I'm a singer, and we are trained every day to walk into an audition setting and say "Hello, my name is (name) and I'll be singing (title) by (composer)." As much of that training as we receive, it doesn't appear that audition panels have been taught the same thing. There is very little that can cause classical singers to fall 100% silent, but nothing will make me forget every word in my vocabulary more than a casting director going "So what would you like to start with?" right before I start my slate. YOU TAUGHT US THE SCRIPT, WHY ARE YOU NOT FOLLOWING THE SCRIPT???
Reminds me of a "fun" first interview question in a group setting, "What is your superpower?"
One poor woman answered "I'm anally clean."

Just had a job interview last Wednesday. Immediately after thanking the man interviewing me, I tripped and fell down the stairs that led to his office. This was a bar and grill with a few people inside ordering food, all anyone heard on the opposite end of the door was "Oh watch out for those stairs-" *BANG BANG BANG*
I still got the job, and I start tomorrow!
EDIT: I hate to be like “thanks for the likes guys 🤓” but this community is so sweet. Thank you all for the congratulations and encouragement! My first shift ended a few hours ago and it went super well! My starting pay is much higher than I expected for my position, I have friends that work with me, and my bosses are super sweet unproblematic people! And our head chef yells “Wooooo!!” at random! I love it here :) (i did get hot sauce in my eyes and the smell of the sauce was so potent everyone was gagging but oh well 😭)
good luck!!
Congratulations!
Incredible
congratulations! and watch out for those stairs
Happy to hear that. I hope the working conditions are good or at least okay. As long as one has a job and is reasonably healthy, more happy moments always come. The wait might be long though.
The worst one I can actually remember was a clerical role for a housing rental office and panic literally overtook my entire brain, so I walked into the room, the interviewer asked me if I would like to take a seat, I stared at him like a complete psycho for 10 seconds then said "No thanks" and turned around and walked out. Then had a break down outside the building. Good times.
“what would you do if i asked you to do something you don’t want to do?”
i replied with a five minute rant about the nature of morality before he stopped me to explain that he meant it in reference to cleaning the bathrooms.
My mom used to use the phrase “if it were a snake it would have bit them” to describe someone hunting for something that was actually within arms reach of them.
She stopped after a 2 foot long snake got into our car and slithered into my sister’s lap for warmth on a cold night.
It did not bite her and dad pulled over and flung it into a neighbor’s yard to get it off her lap; but no one thought I was funny when I said “on her lap? If it were a snake it would have bit her!”
tough crowd
smh obviously dont know a good joke when they hear one
I read the phrase like "If it were a snake I would have bit them" and thought it was going to be a story about how your mom would used the phrase but worded wrongly lol
😭😭😭😭🙏
This phrase is used a lot here in Brazil.
That notification popping up, containing the words „blow“ and „job“ make me grateful, that nobody saw it
😭
Seriously I'm afraid to let people hold my phone, not cause I have anything bad saved on it but because you never know what notification will come up from Matt Rose, Game Grumps, or Ordinary Sausage

My first job interview occured when I was 14. I've got too enthusiastic at first and then when I understood that I won't get the job I started crying while very awkwardly trying to hide it and my interviewer felt so bad she gave my cookies and tea. Lol.
I know someone who was asked the age-old "where do you see yourself in five years", and his response was, "settled down, possibly with a wife and my first child".
This was for a consultant role at a hospital. He got the fucking job.
real question as an 18yo: what are you supposed to say because that sounds like a great answer
@ryanspence5831 they're typically asking you about your professional life and career aspirations, not your personal life.
I'm a teacher, and I once said during an interview that, "I like working with the weird kids - I was one of them." Not my best self-recommendation. Did get the job though.
As a weird kid i may be biased but that sounds like a fairly reasonable self recommendation, glad you got the job!
Just sounds like a witty bit of humor to me. - Also a teacher.
i mean if you were a weird kid you’d know how to take care of weird kids, right? probably one of the advantages
As a weird kid I appreciate teachers like you
Honestly doesn't even sound that bad.

I ended up doing this interviewing as a developer because I was interested in how their product worked. I stopped after the interview commented on it, but I would have kept asking questions lol.
I was offered the job, but I turned it down for another.

8:48 For some reason, this one had me laughing for an unreasonable length of time.
And it makes no sense, because the story is completely unresolved, but I find it absurdly hilarious anyway. :)
I’ve never had a job interview fiasco, but one time, I was auditioning for a play, and this girl, when given a scene to read, apparently forgot how scripts work and said her character’s name before every line. She got the part.
how did she get the part? did they at least tell her to stop
Maybe no one else went for the part, so the girl got it by default
@@Meela9088 fair, but the commenter could have been auditioning for the same part as the girl, probably not though
@@PLC_Mapping true
@Meela9088 @PLC_Mapping She figured it out eventually, but I don’t know how she got it either. There weren’t many people auditioning, but she wasn’t the only candidate. She did great in the actual performance, at least.
"Are you currently employed?"
"Thank you."
Always be respectful 🔥
So basically, in order to get a job nowadays, you have to be superman and never make mistakes. Ever.
I spilled a glass of water on the interviewer's laptop.
Chick-fil-A interviewer asked "how would your friends describe you"
I said "I don't really have friends, and it depends on who you ask, but some people say I'm like a school shooter"

5:14 What's wrong? I don't get it.
@kormannn1 I might be wrong, but I guess the interviewer asked a question in French and the person answered "yes" in another language. Sorry for the bad English tho, that's not my native language
@@semprequevoceleroscomentar8446 well, it proves that the person is bilingual...?
yeah but they're asked if they speak french (in french) and reply yes (in spanish). also "si" = "if" in french. they messed up
I was applying for a library assistant job. Part of the interview was to put on a children's storytime. Now, I had been in library services for about six years already at that point, and had therefore done several storytimes in the past. But never before had I done a solo storytime, and it was always for kids (rather than the two ladies who were about 20 years my senior). The entire time I was telling the story I kept having to pause for the giggles, and my nerves/embarrassment made me forget the song section.
I thought for sure I had failed but, as I was leaving, the main manager told me that I (one of the last candidates to be interviewed) was the only one who actually did a storytime. I'll have been working at that position for three years in a few months.
"you mind if i got a glass of sex? i mean. water."
"not at all, you're immediately hired and promoted to manager! welcome to blizzard entertainment!"
Literally the “can I have breast milk wait I mean…” meme IRL
My mother answered the ‘how would your friends and family describe you?’ Question with ‘…unusual?’, then had to try and make that an acceptable answer for a nursery teacher. She got the job!
That’s impressive 😂
I similarly got asked "describe your personality" and I just said "im weird...." And then chuckled. Like "huhuh" kinda chuckle. I did not clarify. I didn't even think to clarify lmao 🙃
I only recently realized I should've tried to turn it into something positive and that's why the interviewer stared blankly at me for so long. 😑 This was like 3 years ago btw

was being interviewed for a fast food job, when asked why i was applying there i straight up said "i just want the money" and they hired me regardless.

@@grins9882ig you could explain why you want the money if there's a cool reason behind it
These videos are the reason I’m blessed TH-cam exists. I was chuckling throughout the whole video but 08:05 had me crying.
7:48 dude ran out of dialogue options in an interview, god peed to their poor soul
That "if it was a snake it would've bit me" expression does make sense though, which is more than can be said of most figures of speech, even if I and apparently everyone else have never heard it before.
For those who don't get it it's because snakes are sneaky and if you don't see them, and let them sneak up on you, they bite you. Hence, a small problem you failed to spot that is pointed out to you at the last second can be described with the phrase.
That expression must be a regional thing, I’ve heard it plenty! It feels like it might be a redneck saying dhkchk (I’m from the rural southeastern US)
my parents used to use that one all the time so frankly i’m surprised that it seems that no one’s heard of it
I've been looking up the phrase on the interwebs and it seems it's actually generally used when something you were searching for turned out to be right under your nose the whole time, as in it was so close to me all along that I probably touched it during the search and thus if it was a snake it would have bitten me. To my mind that doesn't fit so well for an undone zip, unless before they were told about their undone zip they had already been searching for the zip in the position it was meant to be in and failed to notice it was there all along but just a few inches lower down (i.e. undone), but that's a bit of a stretch to make the idiom work.
My mom always says that figure of speech when I need help finding something. Of course she magically spawns it in the exact place I spent 20 minutes looking for it.
I'm verys surprised that nobody seems to know this one.
Probably one of the most common idioms I heard as a kid.

I’ve only done two interviews in my life - both during a time I had crippling anxiety. The first was at a chocolate shop , I did well in the interview , was very professional , even wore a nice shirt the color of their business’ logo (which was a dress code rule to wear that color but I did it on accident). They called me and told me I was hired , and asked when I could start. But their pay was too low so I told them “yeah ..no I’m good” and hung up. The second interview was at my local library that I’ve been to frequently since I was a small child. I know the interviewer well. I uhm ,, I burst into tears and couldn’t stop crying for 30 minutes all because she asked if I was okay. I’ve now been working there for 7 months and they all trust me with shelving so much , I just taught the new person how to shelve

Say what you want behind the wording, but underneath all that, you can see some pretty desirable traits in an employee!
I showed up 4 hours late to my first job interview due to a miscommunication, listened to the manager talk for 10 minutes and didn't say a word, then hypothetically ignored a lady's husband dying and told someone their dog looked sick.
Still got the job
What do you mean hypothetically??? I need to know more
What job was it?
@@sharrpshooter1 The manager gave me some scenarios to see how I'd do. One was "An old woman says she needs litter that's lightweight and cheap because her husband just died and can't carry it for her anymore, what do you say to her?" I answered, like a true saleswoman, "I'd ask what her budget is" (idk I was 17 and nervous) and the manager just kinda gave me a look and was like "I'd say I'm sorry for your loss"
Then he asked what I'd say if someone walked in with their dog and I panicked and said "uh---I don't know---uh if their dog looks sick I'd point them to the vet section??" and he was like wtf no
I love relishing in other people’s embarrassments to help me cope with my own
this is hilarious timing, because i just came home from an interview where they hired me on the spot
I was once asked in an IT company interview "How do you see yourself in 5 years?" I took it too literally and said "Joining piano competitions and trying to build a music career".
Only then did I realize it was a very wrong answer... Anyway I was already turned off by how they were hours delayed from schedule so I didn't mind getting rejected
I have had the worst fucking Monday, and this is exactly what I needed.
Also, my interview horror story - Final interview for a senior subject matter expert role at a massive classic GB company. Bought a new suit and everything.
Trouble was, my (cheap) new suit and the fancy leather of the chair didn't seem to want to cooperate, and I started sliding down in my seat. I was so focused on the questions that I didn't really notice until I was slouched in the chair like a moody teenager, at which point I shuffled my way back to a professional posture.
Only for it to happen all over again. Twice.
I didn't get the job.

Look at the bright side, maybe they just thought your answers weren't good and wouldn't have hired you regardless
I once had an interview in a huge, like three universities size, building. I got there early, the security at the gate gave me directions, and I went on my merry way. Half an hour later (the time my interview started) I had to call the HR lady, since I was still lost. She gave me directions. It didn't help. In the end, I spent there almost two hours, lost in the corridors. Oh, and the security pass was only for one part of the building, so somehow I was also trespassing and got in trouble.
Later I learned only a few candidates made it to the actual interview...
That sounds like something out of The Mysterious Benedict Society
Finding the interview WAS the interview.
@@timmiller1 "We regret to inform you that your application has been rejected due to your lack of a sense of direction." 💀
I only ever blew one interview and it was on purpose. One of the questions was "what would you do if someone complained about someone smelling bad" The job was for a position at a public library, not private, public. Which means everyone of all walks of life is allowed to enter and use the services offered..... So I said that because it's a public library unless he's antagonizing the person complaining about him then he gets to stay. What if he was going through something and kicking him out would've been the last nail in the coffin? What if he was homeless and didn't have access to a bath?
I mean, I was raised to treat everyone with equal respect unless you have a valid reason not to. So yeah I said something.
Friend: what are you watching
Me: watching someone attempt to throw buttons in to a cup

Well if you consider the verb “ameliorate” meaning “to make better” and the suffix “-ific” (like in terrific), we can say that ameliorific is a new adjective meaning “problem-solving”
A bunch of people added it to Urban dictionary, go check it out 😂😂
Yeah, if I was interviewing someone who gave that answer, that would be a point in their favor for sure.
Exactly what I thought too. Except, you know -ate should end in -ing if converting to adjective form.
Edit: I said -able on accident. I’m a clown
I also shook my soon to be manager's hand a bit too vigourously and made it pop. I didn't hurt him, but he looked at his hand in such a surprised face 🤣 and said "are we in a cartoon or what".
"I was trying to write with a tampon."
Writing your credentials in blood will surely leave an impression.
I love this video. This video came on time I have an interview tomorrow. This really helped reduce my stress. Thanks, Matt.
The story of the person walking into the closet and staying there for 20 minutes out of embarrassment almost made me pee myself
Matt is going to be finding buttons in his room still for the next 30 years.
Real
Unfortunately
I once responded to one of the questions with "what kind of question is that?!" It was a ridiculous situation....
Let's be honest... there's nothing showing more that you are awesome person than funny and unexplained fails 😂
I once got asked a question about what if I was the only person behind the counter and a bunch of customers came in and lined up all at once. I, without even having a chance to think, said "I'd cry." I could tell from the look on her face that the interview was a lost cause at that point but we kept going. She later asked me a question about when I had to think quickly and I froze for like 15 seconds before telling a story about how I accidentally lit a rag on fire at an old job and how I grabbed the burning rag, threw it on the ground and stomped it out.
Didn't get the job.
" Are you an assertive person? "
"I fucking better be. "
Thank you for showing that montage at the end, because it was only then that I realized if I ever attempt something like that, I should have a pre-planned reaction to do when I finally achieve the thing.
effectively hiked up to the mountain where i was about to apply for a job, got there huffing and puffing, handed them my resume and asked for a glass of water
i got the job, i have been one of the janitors there for a little over 3 years now
