I went to a job interview but don't want the job?
They offered me a second interview. I said I was interested but as soon as I left I thought about it and didn't feel happy. I would be doing 12 hour shifts in a hotel and less money than I do now. I'm very tall and they asked me "do you think with your size you would fit in" and said some clients can be intimidated. I assured them they would find me a pleasure to talk to. He said he would call me but I don't really want it now and would rather just ignore it. What do you think?

It's as easy as that.
However, if you are 100% sure you don't want the job then just be honest as it will save wasting their and your time.
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
You never know, if they really like you they may offer you a better package.
They also told me about their policies of staff not bringing any personal issues to work with them and not discussing private matters with work collegues if it was going to affect their work eg if you had upsetting news!
It sounded so bloody awful that im glad i didnt get the job!
Both of these. There's nothing wrong with changing your mind. Oftentimes it won't be until the interview that you find out more about the job that enables you to make a decision.
1 was before lunchtime on the first day actually.:o
If you aren't bothered, but they are, you may be able to get some improvements in the package that would make it worthwhile. But if not, then you can decline anyway.
Exactly this. All it takes is a couple of minutes. What's the point of ignoring their phone calls or just not showing up?
That's right. Just remember that an interview is a two way process. It's only only for them to find out if they want you but for you to decide if you want to work there. Even if they offer you the job you don't have to take it (although if you are on unemployment benefits it may be in your interests to do so)
Once had a four hour intetview. It was terrible and extremely stressful. They were cross examining me, had me do literacy as well as competenacy tests. Then when I thought I could get a break, I asked to use the loo, but only for the person who was interviewing me to have a loo break too at the same friggin time!...only two urinals and a cubicle....obviously I went into the cubicle, thus looking like I was taking a dump! Bloody awful.
The train journey home was blissful relief with the knowledge that I was never ever going back there again!
Nothing stopping you going to the second interview either if you think you want some extra interview experience.
When I applied for the job I'm currently in, I was applying for other jobs as well obviously as I was only just ending a post.
I had the interview for my current job on the Monday and accepted the post offer by Monday afternoon, then dropped off an application for another job on the Tuesday and still went to the interview even if I wasn't sure I would take that job if offered.
I don't think I would want to work for someone who asks such impertinent questions at interview.
Apart from the bad English this is bad advice. The correct advice is to tell them politely that you don't want the job, just not turning up is very poor form and would jeopardize any possible future employment with them.
i left one after 90 minutes :kitty:
