Strangest Job Interviews?

[LeeAndra]

I was driving from my kids' school to my parents' house (not a route I regularly take) and drove by somewhere I had interviewed several years ago.

It was definitely one of the strangest interviews I've ever had. The two men I interviewed with spent most of their time telling me how hard it was to work there: long hours, demanding clients, short turn-around times for deadlines, etc. Ummm... okay. I couldn't figure out if they just didn't like me (but then why have me come in to interview?) or if that happened spontaneously without them realizing how they were coming across.

Another strange interview I had was with a man taking over a local business. I had a half hour phone interview with him where he did 90% of the talking & then a 45-minute in-person interview with him where he, again, did 90% of the talking. He literally asked me 2 questions during my in-person interview. After telling me at the end of my second interview that he'd let me know his decision in the next 24 hours.... 2 weeks later, he sent me a 4 sentence (!) rejection email saying that I had too much creative experience (obviously evident on my resume!) and not enough technical experience.

Anyone else have any funny/weird/strange interview stories to share??
