Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
"Doing your. son?"
so, in other words, you did fail.I've never failed a job interview. I've been surprised the 2 times I didn't get a job.
so, in other words, you did fail.
The interviews were a success. That's why I was surprised I didn't get the job. The last time I got fired, the person firing me said he thought I was a good manager. Sometimes there are other reasons for not getting or losing a job other than being good at what you do.
Did you get fired or laid off?
If you get fired, there is probably a good reason for it.
I went to one interview in jeans and a t-shirt. The interviewer showed up in a suit, I knew I was in trouble. I passed everything technical ok and seemed to interview quite well but never heard back from them. I called to talk to them after the fact and they said their decision to pass me over was solely based on my appearance. I figured as much, but after being jerked around by them for the prior weeks before the interview I didn't care. I somewhat scoffed at them and informed them that appearances can be quite deceiving. After that phone call, they called me back for another interview and considered me yet again. The interviewer was impressed with my open nature and the fact that I stood up for myself and my appearance, which I based on the "hands on" job I was applying for. He appreciated the fact that I was interviewing for a "hands on" position and dressed ready to demonstrate my skills as opposed to "prettying myself up for an interview". In the long run, we weren't a good fit and I ultimately turned them down. I did learn a lot about interviewing and myself during that process though.

I've never interviewed in jeans and a shirt, even for fast food.
