Once applied for a job at a Tier 1 investment bank and on interview day i had been working on my car a bit so was dressed in dungarees and a greasy tshirt walked in and got the evil eye manager grilled me and said we will be in touch but with negative smile next day i had an interview with a private equities company and they hired me and i walked past the office of the investment banks manager and waved my employment contract with the private equities companie's logo on it and he made a sad face and was probably sacked later.

Never judge people by the way they are dressed !

What were you wearing for the interview for the private equities company?

Same clothes, but as it is widely known private equities company's are more casual than the buttoned up banks.

Very true. At the last PE place I worked at red dungarees were essential if you were C-Sweet.

It would appear that this is interesting / amusing to you, as you've posted it twice on what was an interesting thread.

However, it means absolutely nothing to me, and I fail to see the relevance.

Of course it did. He managed to walk past the offices at the exact same time the ex-hiring manager was there. Luckily he had the contract (with logo) which must have been Dom Jolie sized in order to actually see it. Hiring Manager made sad face as he was hoping to never ever having to interact with this guy again and sad face was actually a grimace.

Well. I think they should be more aware of their employer proposition.

Has anybody walked away from an interview and decided the role advertised was still compelling and interesting yet the people you've been interviewed by were just dam rude.

I had an interview yesterday (not heard yet) for a FTSE100 firm and one of the interviewers was visibly bored, yawned, was on his phone and just looked like he wasn't on this planet. He went from drilling me with condescending tones to me having to wake him up by engaging him in conversation through a role play.

He certainly wasn't doing the silent observational assessment as far as I could see.

I have worked in the corporate jungle for donkeys years and I get the impression maybe the org is changing a bit or this in-particular is "moving on" anyway....and this is also sometimes a defence mechanism on interviews and generally all part of the bravado game.

If they do say no I think I'll actually tell them how it is with this one.....it actually wound me up a bit and threw me off track.

Just got successful with the interview mentioned.

Lets hope its not like where I am now! (Because we all really never know do we!)

I'm presuming the one in the above OP? Congratuations (I think!) as it seems to have got lost amongst all the other stuff.

Any chance this thread could return to reality rather than the fevered night dream fantasies of "I wish I had said this"?

Well I tried by congratulating the OP on getting the job, unless you want to drag it further OT I suppose as everyone seemed to miss that post I quoted as too busy in their own little battles.
