how many of you have experienced interview bloopers...ie, embarasing things that have happened?

To start, I once had an interview on a day when I had a cold. Becasue I already had a fever, the office had heatying on and I was wearing a suit, I was sweating like MAD! The interviewer probably got the impression I was really nervious or panicking but it was purely becuase of feeling rough from the cold!

Does anyone else have any funny stories?

a couple of years back, I applied for loads of jobs at once and had an interview for what I thought was an admin job....turns out that it was for a customer service job i also applied for at the company - i probably looked like a prat and no doubt, they knew straight away I wasn'tthe person for the job.

lesson learnt....do research and check ALL details before going to the interview

I have had that before. I said the opposite that was on my cv and looked like a liar. I think that cost me the position,lol. Oh well.

This thread reminds me of my most embarrassing moment during the interview. I farted so loud during the interview. It was not intentionally done. I failed to control myself. It's a call of nature. I promised myself that it will not happen again.
