Awww.... maybe u didnt do that bad...... its just what u THINK perhaps? If u know what u did wrong this time then keep it in mind for the next time n try to prepare as much as u can... i had a job interview last time n i thought i blew it... but i did pretty good... so maybe its the same thing for u... if not.... take it as a lesson lor....
You might want to read up a bit on the questions that may be asked in a behavioral based interview. I went for an interview for a government job and got my ass handed to me because i wasn't prepared for the type of questions that were asked... just went in thinking "bah, how hard can it be, i gots this" and came out with rectal prolapse. I reapplied for the same government job, and when i go for an interview this time i am going to have answers already prepared before hand. sounds like your interview was pretty intense though... asking an ethical question like 'who would you save' which has nothing to do with the job is retarded. there is no right answer to a question like that. As long as you justify yourself well i think you're ok. I'd probably just quote spock and go with 'The Needs of the Many, Outweigh the Needs of the Few." hahahaha
awww try not to think about it too muchy...mebe ya did better than you think...? have faith la... if you feel that nervous about them mebe have some practice interviews with a careers advisor....? if anything i think it comes with practice like the more ya do the better ya will be....but yesh i know whut you mean....interviews are tough..but its something we all have to do.... i remember one time i had a practice interview i was asked a question and the interviewer counted "..5...4...3...2...1...oh sowie you responded too slow you dont get the job" as an ice- breaker to make me feel at ease slightly but instead it made me more nervous but she told me that its to show you..you need to be prepared and not think too long on your responses good luck....add oil~~~~!
i applied to an artsy job last week. i am not an artsy. they rejected me. i wonder why. lol anyways, the advice is not to go "maybe you didn't do that bad". the advice is to take what you thought you did wrong, and improve it on your next interview. if you listen to the "maybe you didn't do that bad" advices, you don't realize your mistakes, and therefore cannot improve. maybe doesn't translate to good results. taking those mistakes to heart and learn from them does. i don't check my spam box. i learned from that mistake. i check my spam box every 10 minutes.
Well, this was a classic 'needs of the many versus needs of the few' question, to elicit a response of whether you're more likely to think about the company (village) first or think of yourself (best friend) first. I'll let you guess what they want to hear, LOL... The follow up changed the 'needs of the many' to the 'needs of the many that you happen to don't like or agree with' ...would you still stick to principles, or are your principles based on convenience (which are no principles at all)... Sidebar: This classic philosophical question was ascribed to Giovanni de Medici who (in 1159 AD), when faced with an attack that used his own people (that were previously captured by the enemy) as human shields, chose to shoot the invaders with arrows to defend the town, despite knowing that his own innocent people would have to die: This philosophical dilemma of course, was paraphrased by Hollywood in its Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan movie, and most people mistakenly credit its origin to the Spock character.

lol that's right. i probably would have pulled that Spock shit at an interview lol 1:28 [youtube]hFyl4GxBzEw[/youtube]
I would have actually quoted spock word for word if i had that question lol, i love that scene. then as i left i'd be like KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!
LOL, I'll be lucky if Mrs Ralph doesn't nag me about doing the dishes... :rolleyes2: Seriously, bad interviews happen to everyone. Don't sweat it. Like anything else, practice makes perfect. The more of these thing you go on, the better you get at them, and pretty soon, you're already thinking of the question before the interviewers ask. Good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine in later interviews.
It's okay if you messed up. It's a learning experience. Now you know what to expect and what to work on. Good luck.
shit happens. you learn form it and try to do better next time. everyone has interview fuck ups. comes with the territory.
I found out that the more interviews you go to the more confident you will be in answering questions. Just as ab said, practice makes perfect. It's an interview and you;re bound to be nervous .. we're all human.
if it's any consolation, i blew one of mine too. it wasn't a typical interview (they wanted you to do a presentation instead of asking me questions). i figured this should be ez and i made my powerpoint last minute. i spoke of things irrelevant to their needs. i spoke of work ethics they didn't give a shit about. what i spoke about was more related to a company like microsoft, ibm, and the likes, not a damn graphic and web design small time company. since it was a first for me, i royally fucked that one up. i know exactly the feeling, and it blows. but hey, you learn from it, you improve on the next one. anyways, which company was it for?
Well at least you get a rejection, Ive been to some interviews where I have never heard back from them (even though I have called the Agency). Well the earlier you know the better I guess ... it gives you more time to prepare and reflect back on your previous interview(s). Remember a job is a two-way street. Not only do you have to consider the being suitable for the role, but most importantly is the role suited to you. Phil
Don't over analyze the questions they ask you. The main reason they are asking you questions is to see if you fit the requirements they need. Listen to their question, let it soak in, plan out what you want to say then go for it.
GO with confidence and say to urself u got nothing to lose and just do ur best. If u fail then keep on trying. I ve been to over 25 interviews for a new job, but got rejected in all 25 interviews in the past 2yrs, LOL So SAd, but true. Just keep on trying and never give up !
just treat an interview as a meeting with a friend who wants to know more about you. i find that the more casual (but not unprofessional) you are, the better yor interview is. because the job of the HR person IS to make us comfortable and learn more about us
it's ok, you learn from your mistakes and try not to do the same thing next time, but good luck on your future interviews
lol,you're are not the only one blowing an interview..but maybe it was worst because i didn't prepare and didn't care to get the job.
