Be Careful What You Say on the Way to An Interview

It’s every job-hunter’s worst nightmare: you’re on the way to an interview for a job you really want and/or need and of course you’re running late. So you push your way on to a crowded subway train, where tempers are already short. Before you know it, you and the guy next to you are in each other’s faces.

Insults and expletives are exchanged, and fisticuffs are only avoided by people pushing their own way off the train at the following stop. You and your adversary give each other parting hand signals and go your separate ways. You get to the interview in time by the skin of your teeth, fix your tie and your hair in the men’s room, and take your seat in the waiting area. A door opens, and the interviewer emerges. Lo and behold, it’s none other than your commuter sparring partner. Awkward? Just a tad. This is not a hypothetical story, but an actual recent encounter, according to a recent post from Mashable.
