Great and HUMOROUS story! I’m reminded of when I was first out of school and went to a job interview and threw up during the middle of the interview because I was so nervous and wanted the job so badly.

I was interviewing to be the Community Relations Director for Loews Anatole, and even though the interviewer was nice enough to hold up my dripping resume and say they were going to keep it on file (a plastic ziplock bag would have been required), obviously I was not going to get the job.

So bawling and throw-up laden I proudly stood up and said, “I’m sorry and thank you for your time,” and went outside where four other of the top finalists patiently waiting for their interviews looked at me as though they were seeing something out of the movie, “Alien.”

I imagined their “interview fear” doubled in their mind by worrying about what must have happened during the interview to put me in such a state.

I felt badly for them, but the thought of it somehow made me laugh all the way home. Turns out I got a better job at the Dallas Zoo the next week and learned a very good lesson about how it is best to interview on an empty stomach.
