Have you ever cried during an interview?
Hi,
Very random I know, but just wondering if you've ever cried during an interview? If so, why? x

I had a person that cried at the interview. She knew she didn't get the job. I am surprised applied for it as she was a bully and couldn't do her current job. 👍🏽

I've had three candidates cry when I've interviewed them. That makes me sound terrible, but that is out of 1000s of interviews.
They were all talking about something emotive, so not surprising that's what they did to some extent.

I think I was just ill to be honest... They just kind of said "We'll let you know". Wasn't too bothered though because I already had a better offer!
I remember when I left school when I was struggling to get my 1st job. Had an interview for some stock counting job (Orridge i think the company was). Interviewer had a bit of an attitude (In my 17 year old mind). He was basicly going on about how he goes through 30 young people like me a day and rarely does he actually find anyone nowadays who he feels would be able to actually work an honest days work. Not sure exactly which point in his speech he was at but I decided to stand up mid interview, shout "Well you know what this seems like a total utter waste of my ****ing time then if your just going to be a condescending piece of ****", and walk out of the interview.
I remember being proud of myself for all of 30 seconds after leaving before I suddenly became scared ****less that he would somehow tell every other company that I apply to that Id walked out of an interview and was rude to him. Told my mum this and she laughed, found a job about a month later that I really enjoyed.

Oh, wow. That was boss of you
I'd never have the courage to do that.
I have cried inside, but not physically.
"What interests you in this scholarship?"
"The money..... is the first thing I saw". I tried to rescue that after, but didn't get the scholarship in the end.

I'd never have the courage to do that.Haha think that was a one off lol the guy just really rubbed me the wrong way. Ive had extreme urges to answer questions "truthfully" though but never followed through.
"Why do you want to work for this company"
"Im skint its a last resort"
Not sure what kind of reaction that would get
.
No, but I've had my voice go half way through because I was too scared to take the water lol. I forgot that taking a sip of water gave me a few seconds to think about what I was gonna say. xD I got told that I was good but didn't have the experience so I'll take it with a pinch of salt.
I once got called a portly pig and they poked me with measuring rods for my portliness

No but I did cry after I had left the interview straight away lol
Couldn't rep
Nearly, on at least two occasions.
I was very unhappy in my first graduate job, I was living alone in London and was feeling bored and unfulfilled, desperately looking for an escape. In the interview for my last job, I said that I was unhappy and I nearly choked up a bit.
For the first PhD interview I attended, for a project really wanted, I knew I'd screwed up my presentation and I just couldn't focus on answering the questions properly. Didn't get that one, obviously.
