In addition you took up an interview space that could have went to someone desperate for the job, nice one.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0

Personally, I don't believe a word of it. This is someone who has apparently been sacked for photocopying their passport and who previously worked in security at an airport but merely stood around 'looking cool' all day - yeah right0

When you get sacked you don't blindly apply for jobs. Of course you want interview experience. Looking cool wasn't the official job description. Sums it up though.0 -

I've withdrawn during interview on more than one occasion. Never straight after, only because the last questions are usually along the lines of whether you are still interested, at which point I would have said no if I wasn't. I can easily see a situation arising where I am not entirely sure and after thinking about it decide against, though. Interviews are a two way process, unless you are interviewing the desperate.0 -

It's interesting reading these responses because as a jobseeker I've been told time and time again by tutors, friends, relatives, colleagues etc...
"ALWAYS go to the interview, even if you don't want it! Go for the practice."
I have always ignored this advice because I despise job interviews so I have no desire to go through one without actually wanting a job, but the idea that you should attend without real intent is quite widespread (in the education sector anyway).0 -

That would never occur to me, I'd assume that the interview experience had in some way changed the applicant's mind about wanting to work there.
It's certainly happened to me that something sounded great but the interview proved it would certainly not be!0 -

Finally! People who understands and agrees with me!0 -
The interview is just as much for the interviewee to find out about the employer as vice versa. If the fit had been fab, maybe the OP would have taken the job! It's totally out of order to rant at someone for withdrawing their application!I was a board guide here for many years, but have now resigned. Amicably, but I think it reflects very poorly on MSE that I have not even received an acknowledgement of my resignation! Poor show, MSE.
