Presenter Amazingly Catches Loose Horse


There can be a whole lot of spontaneous fails that can occur when we're out wandering the wild world. Maybe you see someone fall, or drop a phone, or almost get hit by a passing biker. The list goes on and on. The point is that some of us react when presented with that spontaneous chaotic moment in a way that ultimately resolves the rapidly erupting problem, in swift time. Others might miss the moment, and the chance to make the difference. This presenter was clearly plugged in when the horse broke loose.

Excavator Ballet Is Tons of Mechanized Grace


There's nothing like the tranquil and skilled choreography of multiple excavators operated by talented French Canadians, all set to an orchestral version of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters." It's hard to ignore the beautiful dance of buckets and treads.

Giant Bear Vastly Underestimates Swedish Man


You've really got to hand it to this Swedish man's performance when confronted by a giant charging bear out in the icy wilderness. The guy doesn't waste a second in letting loose that unhinged battle cry.

Worst Job Interviews People Ever Had


You can encounter some real wildcards on your search toward locking down your next great gig. Not all job interviews run smoothly. It'd sure be nice if they did, but some job interviews can end up being complete disasters. Maybe the person you find yourself sitting across from is tossing out all kinds of red flags about the workplace environment that you previously thought was promising. Or, maybe they decided to approach the job interview with inexcusably inappropriate behavior from the very start. Hopefully, none of these people's terrible job interview stories ring any bells for you.

Font - bibbiddybobbidyboo · 3h 2 Awards I had an interview where I knew the answers I gave were good, solid examples. I understood the technical side well. But the interviewer kept sneering, being rude and saying "really?" In a skeptical tone and I got the distinct impression he hated me. About 20 mins in, I thought about politely calling it a day and leaving but in my innocence thought it would be good practice to stay. 40 mins in, it's like a light switch goes off inside and he's the nicest gu

Then he asks me what I want to avoid at the job. At the time I had no idea how to answer as l'd never been asked that in an interview before. So I ask him to clarify, to which he just repeats the question, over and over until he gets super angry that I dont know how to answer that, then asks me to leave. To t

They're prices on computers and.peripherals were shit and that's what l'd be selling. Dude straight up said it's a lot of work for low pay, not a lot of people enjoy working there, and he finished off with the fact that he's been there for 18 years.

Font - FreddieGregg • 3h 2 Awards I interviewed for what was my dream job--something that I have a ton of experience in and two degrees (including one from literally the most prestigious school in my field). They liked me so much on my first few rounds of interviews that they asked me to fly across the country for the final one. So I go through easily the worst travel day of my life, arrive for my interview, and the interviewer takes one look at my resume and says "I don't know why you came all

Font - paesanossbits• 3h 1 Award Video chat interview: red flag #1 the interview was with 10 interviewers (I was told it would be 1-on-1). Red flag #2: towards the end they asked if I had any questions. When I asked: "Do you all enjoy working here?" they all looked at each other nervously for about 20 seconds until someone said: "Sure. I mean, as much as you can enjoy work, I guess." Nope. Reply 5.9k ...

Font - amalgamas • 3h 1 Award As the Interviewee: I told them I hated sales people when they asked why l'd left my last job, which exposed two things about me: I hadn't looked up the company I was interviewing with and that their primary line of business was sales. The mood got chilly real fast after that. Did not get the job. As the Interviewer: Had a guy ask if it was okay if he went to the restroom real fast and then never came back. His recruiter, who had come with him, was super embarrassed

Font - offbeat_life · 3h I applied for an internship at a human rights law office. They gave me questions on the spot to debate with them, like 'should people accused of rape remain anonymous until convicted' and 'is bribery acceptable if it's for a good cause'. It was me versus a panel of 5 senior human rights lawyers for a whole hour, who just ripped me apart from start to finish. Everything I said, they made sound like the dumbest response with their rebuttals. By the end I was a nervous babb

She said it was their responsibility to check the weather the day before and prepare accordingly. Some of their employees commuted from 100 miles away, so they didn't cut anybody any slack.

It was a really tense, awkward interview with the store manager, and I wasn't really certain why he was so hostile toward me. Turns out he was just trying to figure out if I was in on the other manager's scheme of stealing products and selling them on Craigslist, which I found out about after she was arrested the next week. It was a shock to me because she was a bit of a mentor to me and I h
