#IBlewTheInterview: It’s one career catastrophe after another out there
No matter how self-assured you may be, the prospect of selling yourself in a job interview is always pretty daunting,
You may know the job spec inside out and have the ability to carry out the tasks in your sleep, but that doesn't mean you won't fall victim to a bad bout of verbal diarrhoea or a woeful spate of knee tremors.
Since the vast majority of us have experience of at least one appalling job interview, it's no surprise that #IBlewTheInterviewWhen is currently trending on Twitter as social media users share their worst memories of that oh-so-important meeting.
And we're going to be honest here, you're about to feel much better about yourself.
