Don't you love being judged by your looks and personality rather than your work. My top 3:
3- One of the interviewers started bitching at me that I stole all my portfolio pieces over the internet. I already had a job, so I figured I didn't have to put up with his shit. His company went broke within a year, hahahahaha. Fucker!
2- Some guy went on about how all I did was traced off Milo Manara, it was even stranger since I didn't even know who Manara was at the time. But anyway... On to my all time favorite bad interview...
1-"But you're not artistic, artists have blue hair and piercings."*drunroll*

I had an interview once where the guy wanted me to come in and build a site for him, "to sho that I really know what I am doing."
I asked why my portfolio wasn't good enough.
He said I could have faked it.
I've found that interviews can tell me more about my future boss and his company than he'll learn about me. It's pretty easy to find out if your boss has asny respect for your profession.

Another Fav:
"At the very most, if you were really at the top of your league, I would pay a web developer $14/hr." (CDN, or about $9.50 US)
Me: "Good luck with that."

shit, if you already have a job, I would have said, FUCK YOU and walked out. I once told this chick at Doubleclick NY, that she and this wasn't worth my time and walked out. I also had a job at the time and they brought me in for web dev only to interview me for something else and ask me about that different position. I was like uhmmm, aren't I interviewing for the web dev position, she was like no. I was like well that's what your HR person told me this morning. I was like BYE this interview is over. LOL!

"I've found that interviews can tell me more about my future boss and his company than he'll learn about me. "
Indeed! And mind you, I got the "u have no blue hair or piercings" reply from a multi-million dollar corp with a huge human resources department, it wasn't some mom and pop shop.
I love Alan Tew's sketchbook, there's alot of good stuff on the intrerweb.

art is as much about artwork as it is about your persona

There was one company that was really into my portfolio and talked like I already had the job. He told me that I would help them set up the creative department in there other offices across Canada. Then he asked me how much I wanted, then the HR lady came in and told me all about there benefits and that they had flexible hours. Also about company policies and that everyone had a laptop to use. So I thought I got the job. Well, 2 weeks later, he called me back to the office for a meeting with the VP. Let's just say the VP wasn't even scheduled for the meeting. The guy asked me if I wanted to take a contract job doing power point presentation for 4 months, then they'll see if there was a place in creative for me.
I was like, WTF, you asshole mofo! Then I left. What a complete fuck.!!

in my worst interview i was given 30 minutes do design a logo and brochure for a job the dude had in cue! I was umemployed and so desparate i almost considered it. he called it a "skills test"
the skills test turned into an essay of his lack of ethics. no telling how many designers did shit for free for that asshole.

One of my first interviews was in Long Island, NY and the guy who was the owner of a small company by thumbing casually through my book while talking on the phone. He then tried to negotiate a very low salary. I don't remember what it was, but I didn't have a design job, hated my job and still told him he was too low. It was so obvious what a load he was. I would never have worked for him.

The sad thing is that some poor inexperienced designer will take extremely low paying jobs because it's such a bad economy right now.
I don't think I'll consider any office job that pays by the hour.
I heard from some economist that if the Iraq war is short lived then the US economy will recover in early 2004. Here's hoping.

I had one of the worst interview experience ever recorded in history.
It's a bit big for this space.
Needless to say, the interviewer's honest responce summed up the type of crap that happened.
"To tell you truth, I completely forgot about this interview."
Ouch. At least I got the job.
