But you know.. I guess that wasn't so bad. The interview lasted long, at least.
He did better than I ever will.

Interviews aren't that hard just don't be a dingus, ya dingus

I know it isn't, I just have a hard time forming coherent sentences. I get nervous and stutter, shit like that y'know?
As some one who's just graduated and hates job interviews, I can take solace in the fact that I have never been and will never be this awful at interviewing.

then practice??
go into an interview with a mindset like the one you have and 100% guaranteed you won't get the job
"Are there any companies you would like to work at?"
"... This one."
BOOM nailed it!

Better than me.
First interview I ever went, I was surely acing it, up until the part they asked me "if we were to call you tomorrow morning, would you be here?" and I replied "Well tomorrow morning wouldn't do because I don't have a car ready."
There was another interview where they asked me: "why do you want this job?" and I replied "so I don't end up in a bad job like working at a factory like my parents."
fuck my honesty :suicide:
(on the slightly upside, I saved myself from horrible management. both my friends worked at both those places, and the first place went to SHIT when management changed, and the second has the tendency to abuse the fuck out of their workers)
I think it's a good idea to come up with a bunch of questions beforehand about.. just about anything, related to the job.
As well as researching about the job beforehand, in case they ask what you know about the company (like they asked this dude)

I mean, they might ask if "you have any questions?" more than once.

Yeah, kind of sucks being raised to be honest and not lie, only to grow up and lying your way through job interviews just to get a half-decent job.
Most job interviews are bullshit anyway.

One of my friends (the one who already got fired) asked me if I had my beard done. Mind you, it isn't that big of a beard at all. I said I didn't, and he said "oh, then you were dead from the start dude"
Apparently, the woman who does the recruiting wants people to be completely clean shaved, and analyses the fuck out of you because she has a degree in psychology (which probably still wouldn't give her the ability to distinguish a sociopathic murderer drenched in blood and knife in hand in a group of people)
Despite this, my friend who still works there, meets us at night, after a whole day of work, and he STILL has eye crusts from sleeping, noticeable from far away, but somehow, nobody, not even him, ever notice that.

People who think like this are the exact people that interviewers do not ever want to work for them.
Believe it or not people a job interview is just like dating. It is about finding out of the job is right for you and if you are right for that employer. You don't have to lie your way through it (and you shouldn't have to, if you do have to then it isn't the job for you), but how you carry yourself speaks volumes about what kind of person you are.
The interview is a conversation. That is all it is. Little things matter more to corporate types because they have a strict culture they want their employees to adhere to (you aren't a good fit if you clash seriously with that and show you don't respect it in the interview). In other cases they want to be sure you are someone that everyone who is on their team can easily work with, even if your skillset is great.
If you are someone who cares to pay attention to details like that, and is actually interested in the company, then interviews should be no problem. And sometimes you might think you want to work somewhere but via the interview find their company culture just doesn't work for you.
Just like dating. There isn't some mass conspiracy. People who think that you have to lie your way through every interview and who don't give any kind of shit about their job they are interviewing for are going to find as much work life success as someone who dates with that mindset. As in, not at all.
Why do so many people think this is real its so obviously fake
That doesn't mean there aren't shitty interviewers who care about stupid shit. In which case, you never have to worry about working for a terrible company because you'll know if you would be working for one that clashes with who you are when you run into interviewers like that.

Believe me I did. My last interview was shit, I could barely speak. I practiced in front of the mirror, I stayed optimistic, I even read 101 great answers to the toughest interviews. Just because my previous posts were a little pessimistic doesn't mean I was like that during my interviews.

Hell I make a good bit less at my current job than I could elsewhere, but I really like the people/environment there and the work I get to do.
Interviews are a matter of psychology. You're essentially sitting in front of a psychologist when you're being interviewed, so treat it as such. Be completely open and honest. When I applied to my first job, I was straight. I was asked "So why do you want to work here?" and I said "Well, I've applied all over the place and so far you're the only one to bother to give me a meeting, and I really need a job. I'm mostly doing nothing right now and I want to change that."
My second job interview when I was asked "What's your biggest weakness?" I said "I know a lot of people have trouble answering that but you just have to be honest with yourself, so mine is that I don't take opportunities. For example, it took me two months to finally apply here because I didn't want to leave my coworkers at my old job to deal with everything." Terse, one-word responses are never good. Turning an interview into a wholly one-sided conversation spells doom. Give the interviewer something to work on.
Seriously, just be yourself. I can understand not getting a job because of stuttering or anxiety, which I'm sure is annoying because you know what you want to say but don't have the ability to articulate it in that moment in time. Eventually you'll get over it if you suffer from those kinds of problems.

Exactly. If you don't want to have to bullshit your way for an interview, find a company that you'd actually like to work for.
I've had 3 job interviews in my life, and have only been turned down by 1 company. In all cases, the interview was relatively easy, and like KorJax put it, was just a conversation. A decent company will base hiring you on your personality and your skills, not your ability to spew out a number of scripted lines that you Google'd the morning of the interview.
Napoleon Dynamite IRL.

Sadly this isn't always possible.
I like to imagine that I'm meeting someone for a drink to get to know them. Never failed me yet, and yes, be honest and open. Ive realised a lot of the time that the job is not for me halfway through the interview because of this.
Grades and results only get you through the door, who you are is what is most important. An engineer with the best results possible but who is terrible as social skills will not do well in a team effort for example, yet will probably excel in finance or project managing, whereas the engineer with poorer results but works well within a team will get that job.
I know someone who came out of university with 2:2 in engineering, which is for some reason considered terrible, he's now working as a senior technician for lotus F1 and pulling in more than 40K a year. All because he was fantastic at working in a team and motivating them.
It's all about finding your niche. The moment you feel that you have to impress them by fabricating/embellishing, you will more than likely fall flat.
