Job Applicants Who Walked Out of Interviews Share Their Stories

Shortest Interview of My Life

This was a life insurance company. I applied to be a financial analyst intern after I graduated college. The first thing they said after I introduced myself was:

“Your compensation will be entirely commission based. We’ve found in the past that employees who target their family and friends have the highest sales.”

I stood up, said I didn’t think I would be a good fit for the company, shook hands with the interviewer, and walked straight to my car.

The whole thing lasted a total of 10 minutes, including the time I parked to the time I left. Shortest interview of my life.
