People Are Revealing The Worst Mistakes They've Ever Made During Job Interviews

“I once interviewed to sell an allergy medication (pharma). It was a launch of a twice-daily rival to getting allergy shots (which are monthly). Interview was going well and I get asked ‘Do you have any questions for us?’ See, I do homework, and when this comes up I ask real questions as I don’t want to get stuck working somewhere I don’t like…”

“…I said, ‘So product X is a twice daily product, costs the patient more than shots, nets the doctor less money per visit, and has about the same efficacy. What is your current strategy or vision in successfully getting this into the market and well adopted?’

Needless to say, the director did not like my question and just said, ‘Well, that’s where you’d come into play.’

I wasn’t offered the job. It’s okay, because after that answer I didn’t want it anyway.”
