I too found you by searching “bombed my interview” immediately following an interview in which the following dialogue occurred:

“So, what would you bring that would add to the mission adn vision of our school?”

[inside] MISSION AND VISION? THERE’S A MISSION AND VISION? CRAP. *blinks, blinks* [outside} “um, I would bring a servant’s approach to the classroom?” Yes, as a question, not a statement… gah.

Mayka – I just bombed an interview and then came back to my computer to google for relief. In this case the search term was “late for an interview.” Yep, I was 25 minutes late. The guy actually called me, which woke me from my peaceful irresponsible slumber. This story made me see the humor in an interview gone bad. Thanks!
