Shortest job interview ever?

Opinionista posted a typically amusing piece about her experience of campus recruiting by law firms. However, I think one of her comments on her post, from Dave, was even better:

I went through the same process for I-Banking interviews. My roomate at the time was also interviewing. The whole waiting game outside the hotel room where interviews were being conducted made him totally nervous.

As the interviewer from Goldman shook him firmly by the hand and ushered him into the room, he turned to her, and tried a little quip to break the ice. Gesticulating to the bed in the room, he said “Well, I guess we won’t be needing that.”

They both stood there for a moment, in mutual disbelief at what he had just said. He was not in the least surprised when she turned around and, without a word, showed him straight to the door.

To this day, we both struggle to think of a way to make a worse impression - and laugh like hell.
