Have anyone ever walkout on an interview for a job?

I did.  Twice.\n\nThe first time, the man interviewing me started telling mehow he does not give a set number of sick days per year.  If you call in sick, he automatically does not pay you for the day.  His thing was, you had to go to work, tell him you felt sick, then if he felt you were sick enough, he would allow you to leave and pay you for the day.  And you would have to do that evey day (example, if you had the flu) if you wanted to get paid for the days.  I told him I already felt sick and left.\n\nThe second time, it was me and two other girls for three open data entry positions.  It wasn't really an interview, it was a "trial first day".\n\nThe woman boss called me into her office, and said, "I will let you know now.  If I don't like you, at noon you will be gone."  I responded by saying that was good, I would look at it as a trial for both of us, and if I did not like the job, I would leave at noon.  She looked startled by my reply.  She told me to leave the office, then called in the next girl.  \nMeanwhile, I talked to some employees who said she has "monitors" in the office who time you if you get up to go to the bathroom, etc.  The second girl came out shaking and nervous, and saying how she hopes she really pleases the woman.  The third girl went in, meanwhile, I kept talking to other employees and finding out what it would be like to work for this woman.  When she came out with the third girl and said she would walk us to the training area, I told her I already did not like it there, and left.

Didn't we go through this yesterday? What do you want - a pity card for being a racist? Not happening. Get over it. You'd be surprised at how rarely us "whiteys" really give a giant rats butt what race you are. For God's sake - most people interview for more than one position, but only someone who chooses to see themselves as a victim take it so personally. I think you expected them to hire you BECAUSE you're a minority, and now you're pissed off. Quit being a victim and take some responsibility for yourself.

Some people thrive in this environment.  Not me:\nI worked in a call centre for 2 days.  I made my quota in the middle of the second day and told the supervisor that I was done and was quitting.\nI really did not like bothering people and was not about to put up with the abuse from people I contacted.

Four times now. One dud. He was too loud and drove me crazy. One great guy who couldn't pay his rent on time, ever. One decent guy who was pretty good, but didn't stick around for too long. And...The Greatest Roommate in the World. That's right. Quiet, courteous, respectful, clean, and I found him on craigslist. And this is in Brooklyn.\n\nThe truth is that a lengthy interview process just isn't realistic. You have to trust your gut. If I feel like I have to call your references, it's already a "no."

well jumpstart\n\ni have been to many many interviews and have always got the job!\ni have worked in many call centers also qand i can give you some advice!\n\nthe test you will take is designed to see how you handle situations and people!\n\ntips\n\n1, If they ask you a question that you dont know the answer to! just say " well i havent had the chance to use/do/ that thing you ask but i have to say im lookin forward to doing it in the future!\n\n2, always go the extra mile in a interview! i had a test were i had to pick up a phone and speak to a customer! only the customer was a employye for the call center, he was irate and demanding to know were his books were! so i \napoligised and said i will ship them out, he then said that t was for his dads birthday and needed them today, so i had them delivered to his dads on the day witha  book voucher to say sorry.\n\nnow that would not happen in real life but go the extra mile! and use all polite enthusiastic words!\n\nnever say sorry! or words like maybe or not sure! \n\ntheir is loads of advice i have to give. good look and be confident! they will be just as nervous as you, WHY? because they have been entrusted to get employees who can do the job.\n\ncheers

Actually it would look like you were prepared and set you apart from 90% of the other people they will interview that day. I interview a lot of people. The things many of them do wrong:\nThey don't bring a copy of their resume with them.\nThey don't dress up. (Jeans are NEVER acceptable for an interview)\nThey don't remove their hat (for guys)\nThey don't turn off their cell phones or worse they answer them during the interview!\nThey cannot answer simple questions about previous jobs or job experience.\nThey smell bad.\nThey say "um" or "you know" every other word.\nThey chew gum.\nThey trash their former employers.\nThey can't answer the question "Why should we hire you?"\nThey don't ask any questions about the job. (The best question to ask an interviewer is what THEY are looking for in the person that takes that position. Then point to specific experience you have either in work or life that makes YOU the best canidate.)\nThey don't look at you during the interview. Not making eye contact makes people think you are shady.\n\nHope this helps! Good luck!

I have gotten job offers without being interviewed, because I am a teacher in a field with a shortage.  People have wanted to hire me just because of my certification, without even talking to me or checking up on me.  I have never taken any of those jobs, because there is usually a reason they can't get someone to stay.\n\nAnyway, don't count on the internet.  At least get on the phone.  I have even seen an interview happen over the phone with someone from out of state.

No, I almost did one though on a group of people. However, if I did, I knew they wouldn't want to work with me again. I'll probably do one later on my younger brother...like....hmmmmmm....I'll have to think about it. Any ideas, let me know. =>

It can't hurt, if you're interested in the job.  I know people who got a job cause the person who initially got the job decided to quit (or got fired) within a few days.

Have been many times.... wide array of reaction.\n\nHave retorted with an insult of my own, have laughed at them maniacly until they got embarrassed, have ignored it completely, have taken it like a woose, have gotten in their face, shoved, told them off, everything short of punching out

Absolutely.  Finding a job is the hardest part.  If the conviction comes up in the interview, and it will most of the time, be honest and frank about it.  If the boss wants to be a total dickface about it, and they will most of the time, then screw 'em.  Usually dickfaces find something to be a dickface about anyway.  That's how dickfaces operate.  Basically, call the conviction a learning experience.  And it doesn't have to be flipping burgers or cleaning toilets. Pick a trade... Electronics, auto repair, landscaping... and work your way up like everyone else.
