‘I crumbled under the pressure’: Job candidate cries during interview when presented with questions about their case study task

Job interviews are incredibly daunting and I've had my fair share of interviews that went south. But crying? I have yet to experience that and honestly, I hope I never will. I can understand why it happens though. Imagine spending months looking for a job, doing dozens of interviews (if you even get calls back), and taking time and effort out of your day to complete the tasks and assignments these companies send you.

You pass a few rounds and start to get your hopes up, only to have them crumple to the floor like a balloon that lost its air. Okay so that wasn't a great analogy but you get what I mean.

This interviewee shared their experience during an interview where they were asked to explain different aspects of a case study they did for a task. The questions began getting harder, and the interviewer wasn't the most polite. Check out the full story below.

Next up, here is a homeowner who got back at a power-tripping HOA by dancing in front of their security cameras.
