A Bug Eyed Job Interviewee


A Bug Eyed Job Interviewee

Dear Jen

Wanted to let your readers know about a bad experience I had at a job interview recently.  During the interview I began to feel my eyes swelling up.  Was it my imagination or was the Interviewer looking at me rather too intently. I discovered after the interview that my eyes were really swollen.

On arriving home partner asked “What’s wrong with your eyes?” my response “I don’t know” Then partner asked “What job were you applying for anyway?” I responded “Administration Assistant”.  My Partner’s cryptic response was “More like a role in the movie A Bugs Life!”  At this stage we both started to roar with laughter.

Then I realised that before the interview I went and had my eyebrows waxed.  I rang the salon to discover that they had decided to use a different kind of wax and that I had experienced an extreme allergic reaction to it.  Moral of the story don’t get your eyebrows waxed on the day of the interview.

Yours sincerely – Bug Eyed Interviewee

 It is a good idea to take care of any personal grooming well in advance of the interview. Has anyone else experienced anything weird like this whilst at a job interview? Please write in and share them with us.
