Re:Ask HN: What's your funniest hiring interview story? by Xoroxoxoxoxoso on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @06:27AM (#18919924)
I was applying for a junior dev position. I already had some experience so I wasn't completely junior, I liked the company though and they only had a junior position available. So I thought what the heck I might try it.

I had been already waiting about 20 minutes in a boardroom when two guys came. We all introduced and sat down. One guy looked at my resume and after a while said

> "Well, if I had time before this meeting and looked at your resume I'd prepare myself because you're clearly not a junior level developer."

It's worth noting that they had my resume about a week in advance.

Oh, if I had a nickel for everytime somebody dropped by my cubicle and said, "Can you sit in on this interview?" while throwing a resume at me.

"When is it?"

"Now."
