Interviews are nerve wracking situations; you’re trying to present well but your sweaty palms and scatter brain are putting you off your game. Yeah, we’ve all been there.
If you effed up a job interview recently, these 14 stories will put you at ease.
1. Busted
“I had popped a button on the shirt I was wearing, right at the bust, without realising. The interviewer was looking at my boobs the whole time. I was so grossed out and thought he was a massive creep. Then I left and noticed my wardrobe malfunction. I felt so embarrassed. But still felt he was creepy.”
2. Spelling Error
“One time at a job interview I got asked about punctuality. I went on about how it was good to speak to clear and politely and it was nice to use proper grammar and in speech and writing,” confessed one anonymous user on secret-sharing app Whisper.

3. Mached it up.
“I was asked what my hobbies were and I said, straight out; paper mache. Paper mache. It’s not even true. I had literally done it once the week prior and it just sprung into my head to embarrass me.”
