have you ever been traumatized in a job interview? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. iamnes (199)3 months ago

have you ever been traumatized in a job interview? what was your worst experience in job interviews? do you have any interviews that you wished you could have done all over again?

i just finished my first ever panel interview this morning and i think it is one of the experiences that i will never ever forget in my life. it took more than an hour. after the interview and on my way home, i felt dizzy and disoriented. it's like i was so overwhelmed in a bad way.

have you ever experienced something similar?

yes,i have.and not only one time.the first time,my feeling was the same with you,very sad,very dizzy.but now,i don't think it was a bad things for me.i could find the lesson from them.the failure is the mother of success,do you agree with me?
i think if you believe youself,you will be success at the end.maybe you can find a better position than this company.

i agree with you, after mistakes and failures we learn our lesson. i just hope i could improve on this interview stuffs...

thanks, it's comforting to hear that there are others who had the same experience like i did. thanks for the advice!

I have undergone several interviews in my life. I have been applying for a lot of positions... Yes like you I feel the same, I hate interviews. I am not really good orally, especially in simultaneous and spontaneous interaction. I Have all the ideas in running in my head, but expressing it in a an understandable manner, that I cannot do... Exhausted that is what I always feel after the interviews...


myLot reputation of 93/100. iamnes (199)  3 months ago

it's really hard for me to express myself well in an articulate manner, i hope i could improve with this.

thanks! i feel a lot better knowing that i'm not the only one who had this kind of experience.

Yes.I have.It was deeply impressd to me though it has been a long while.I got a interview chance two years ago and when I got theirs company I found about 10 persons who alraedy came in front of me .We just have a talk about ourselves one by one and asked some simple questions .and then we left the company and wait for the news. two days later,I recieved a message that I wasn't emploied,well,some jobs maybe wasn't fit me .I just comforted myself.
aftewards,I got a chance too,This time,I learned a lesson and absolutely got the job that suit me much.
That's my frist experience of find the job I'll remember that day.

Hello iamnes,

I never experienced being traumatized but I had one which I will classify as bad of all my experiences. The interview left me for written exam after she interviewed me. She came back at the office after the time alloted for my exam and only to find out she can't find her bracelet in her purse. I was the only person there so I offered my purse to be checked and my pockets. Of course I knew that I didn't do it and I also do not see anyone coming in when she was out except me. She apologized me but she needs me to be there for the mean time, She call her daughter and found out that she left it in her table. She was apologizing a lot and I didn't like the experience. Good thing I was hired at the other company first before I heard from them!
