How can I subtley fail a job interview?

Question

I like my job at the moment but my company outsources and has put me forward for an interview for a job that I don't really want. How can I fail the interview without making it obvious?

Answer 1

Fidget around in your seat, don't look them in the eye and mumble when answering questions...

Answer 2

Don't be such a wuss. As long as you are in the USA, you have protections, and you can complain and refuse to do the job if you feel it's unsafe. But if you want to fail, go ahead, I would suggest asking, with a serious face, Will you let me taste all of the chemicals I might be exposed to, so I know it if I'm contaminated? Trust me, most employers, especially large ones, take safety very seriously.

Answer 3

First, wear a pink TuTu into the interview, while wearing a bra on your head. Explain that you have recently been abducted by aliens and impregnated with an alien fetus, and the bra is to protect your baby. When you sit down for the interview, begin masturbating furiously, while screaming "I AM NAPOLEON!". Then begin to dry hump your boss's desk.

This should get your point across.

Answer 4

ok retarded, doesn't. Two easy mistakes to make when you type like a lunatic lol and only you can know how to fail the interview you cant be sure what they are going to ask so u cant really plan how to fail it. just go with the flow, try belching or something.

Answer 5

body language. hold you head in your hands with your elbows on the desk (not a lot at all though, that would not be subtle). also look around a lot and looked stunned right after a few of the questions are asked to you. make your fingernails dirty. don't shower. sloppy tie. old belt. old shoes. be a little tiny bit late or just arrive right on time without calling and telling them you may be late. that's about it...do not do all of these, just pick some...you'll make it work.

Answer 6

Am I missing something? Why don't you just tell them you're not interested in the position? That would be a lot better than making yourself look incompetent on purpose. You do that and they'll not bother you to consider you for something else that you might wan in the future.

Answer 7

I think your best bet is to be candid with your company. Indicate that you are honored to be considered for this new position, but that you would prefer to remain in your current capacity. Perhaps note your reasons.

In my experience, I have always tried to be candid with employees and with my superiors, and have always demanded that from them. It is easy to tell when someone is not being candid, and you can't help but lose respect for someone who isn't bold enough to tell you how it is.

With that said, your employer will value your thoughts, and will probably gain even more respect for you. Good luck.

Answer 8

Here you go: Little or no eye contact, take a long time to answer questions, try to contradict yourself when talking about past learning experiences, fart.

Answer 9

Don't take a shower before you go for the interview, show up late and smellin' of booze.

Answer 10

TELL THEM YOU WILL BE NEEDING ALOT OF TIME OFF OR EXPRESS ANXIETY THAT YOU WONT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THE JOB
