Hilarious Situations Applicants Stumbled Upon When Searching For A Job

Larry Campbell

One of the most stressful experiences in our lives is going on a job interview. We stress over giving the best possible answers to the interview questions, arriving on time, putting together an excellent portfolio, and dressing the part to win over the hiring manager and land our ideal position.
As if that weren't awful enough, no matter how thoroughly you prepare for an interview, it can occasionally go horribly wrong in a genuinely amusing way owing to nature, nerves, and plain ignorance.
One of the most typical interview gaffes is a torn seam or broken heel, but these amusing candidates take interview gaffes to a whole new level. Here are the top 17 funny stories that are going around right now:
