Welcome to the Unfiltered Trenches of Job Hunting!

Ah, job hunting. A glorious time (said no one ever) filled with meticulously crafted resumes, tailored cover letters that would make Shakespeare weep with envy, and an endless stream of online applications that vanish into the digital abyss. And let’s not forget the interviews. Those carefully choreographed dances between candidate and potential employer, where you hope your qualifications shine brighter than the interviewer’s questionable taste in office décor.

But have you ever felt like the interview stories you encounter online are a little…sanitized? All polished responses and calculated anecdotes, leaving you wondering: Where are the real stories at? Give me awkward moments! What about the interview that felt less like a professional exchange and more like a bizarre first date gone wrong?

Fear not, weary job seekers! Interview Diaries is here to be your oasis in the interview jungle (or gym, conference room – you get the picture). Here, we ditch the facade and delve straight into the unfiltered, messy, and sometimes downright hilarious experiences of everyday people navigating the interview landscape.

Our Goal

We’ll be featuring anonymous interviews, so feel free to unleash your inner truth bomb. Was the interview question so nonsensical it made you question the fabric of reality? Did the office dog decide to participate by howling through the entire session? Did you accidentally knock over a glass of water, sending your carefully crafted interview notes into a soggy oblivion? Spill the tea (or coffee, or that questionable office kombucha) – we’re here for it all.

Our mission

To bring a little levity to this often soul-crushing journey. Because let’s face it, sometimes laughter is the best medicine (besides landing that dream job, of course!). We want to create a space where job seekers can connect, share their war stories (and interview triumphs!), and maybe even find a laugh (or two) along the way.

So, buckle up and get ready for a dose of real talk, relatable struggles, and maybe even a few interview horror stories that will make you feel strangely better about your own job search woes. You’re not alone in this jungle, and who knows, you might just find yourself nodding along, thinking, “Yep, been there, done that (and somehow managed not to scream)!” Stay tuned for our first interview – it’s sure to be a wild ride!
