Job Interview Fail (FUNNY, Yet Serious)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9PZQn3mojw Job Interview Fail (FUNNY, Yet Serious). This video was made by MyCareerSorter. I am hoping this was scripted and not real. This video would be very sad and embarrassing if it was real.    

This video is about a interview gone terribly wrong. It shows you what NOT to do during an interview. The first tip says that you aren't supposed to open the door without someone opening for you or someone saying that you can come in. The second tip says that you should dress appropriately and not carry personal items like a soda in your hand. The applicant is dress poorly with ripped clothes and is not dressed professionally at all. When the interviewer went to go shake hands with her, she said that her hands seemed like flippers and the applicant didn't shake her hand firmly. The video also said don't bring another person with you to the interview. Do not use your cell phone for any reason during an interview and do not put your personally belongings on the table. She is texting during her interview. The applicant keeps telling the interviewer to hold on and she forgot her list of recommendations. The interviewer asks the applicant to tell her about herself: she says that she is 28, lives with her parents, what kinds of music she listens to, and that she just started dating her boyfriend who she brought with her to the interview on Wednesday. The applicant gives all of the wrong answers and the answers are not intelligent at all. The applicant tells the interviewer that she needs to hurry up. The applicant told the interviewer that she was always about 15 minutes late to her job, she got fired from it, and she didn't handle money well. There are a couple other things that the applicant does wrong.

The applicant is doing everything wrong you can do in a interview. I'm pretty sure this is scripted. The applicant has fake tattoos and during the video it said that even though her tattoos are fake, if someone had real tattoos on their arm they should cover it up. This is a funny and annoying interview because of how bad it is. The actually video was very annoying. I don't like how it was edited. There were many points during the video where the video would pause and a pop up would show up that said what not to do. I don't mind the little notes popping up, but it is very annoying that the video  would pause. They video quality seemed low. It wasn't that clear. The camera seemed steady like it was on a tripod, which is good. I like the different camera angles. The camera zoomed in and zoomed out on the interviewer and the applicant. At the beginning and end of the video it shows a zoomed out shot of the room. It is a big conference room.
