Most ridiculous interview. Ever.
Started out innocently enough. I was assigned an interviewer/trainer. Meaning, yes, if I could handle it, I got the job. So dude tells me we're going to Binghamton. I'm like...wtf? So me, him, and another girl who works there get in his car, and off we go to Binghamton.
Five minutes go by.
"Don't even tell me we just ran out of gas..."
Awkward silence as we coast through a red-light.
"Fucking a!" As we come to a halt on the side of the road.
Another awkward silence as a cop drives right past us, with our hazard lights flashing, without even thinking about stopping to help us out.
The girl, Sam, calls her boyfriend who brings us gas. Car won't start. Sam and boyfriend leave to go get jumper cables. Awkward 10 minutes go by. The guy, Brandon, very angry and apologizing repeatedly. Sam and boyfriend get back and it takes awhile to get the car running. Finally we are on our way. We made it to Binghamton an hour late. Turns out Brandon was pretty into Soccer so we talked about that a bit.
Got there, worst fear recognized. Sets up D.A.R.E. booth and starts going on about sales pitch. Long day behind a booth. Downpour at one point. Got soaked. Had a good time. Chilled out, watched the brain washing in action. End of the day, offered a job. I turned it down.
Overall. Good experience.
P.S. Sorry Greg. I was in Binghamton and didn't get to visit. It was pretty unexpected though.
