Woman bombs job interview in disastrous video fail: ‘Stupidest question ever’
Talk about making a job interview boo-boo.
Without setting foot inside an office building, Chaylene Martinez unwittingly put her foot in her mouth by criticizing her would-be employer during a one-take, pre-recorded video interview.
“The question is … the stupidest, cheesiest question I’ve ever read in my life,” Martinez says in now-viral footage of her disastrous digital application to SkyWest Airlines.
In the clip, which has amassed over 6.9 million views, the troubled TikToker is seen complaining about SkyWest’s interview questions to an unnamed male friend on the phone. However, she accidentally begins recording herself on the company’s video application platform while she’s bad-mouthing the brand.
“’What is your impression of SkyWest’s company culture, and how does that resonate with you?’” she mockingly reads aloud in part of the minute-and-seven-second “answer” she gives. “You have to record yourself [answering] it, and it’s so awkward.”
Oblivious to the fact that her blasé attitude toward the airline is being taped, Martinez begins applying lipstick and practicing how she’d work SkyWest’s mission statement into her answer.
But her plans to wow the flight executives with well-rehearsed interview responses crashed and burned once she realized that her off-guard commentary had already been captured on their system.
“Oh no,” gasps a stunned Martinez as she realizes her wannabe-employee faux pas.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize it was recording. I was practicing,” she says, attempting to recover after the blunder. “So I was going to say,” Martinez continues before realizing that she only has a few seconds left to complete her response. “Sorry,” she says as the recording reaches its time limit.
SkyWest did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for a comment on this incredibly catastrophic interview.
Martinez, however, publicly announced that she “didn’t get the job” in her TikTok bio.
She also shared a sequel clip explaining that she’s now in danger of getting fired from her current job because her boss discovered her trending, albeit nightmarish, search for other employment.
“When you post a video of yourself applying for other jobs and your co-workers find out and now your boss knows you’re looking for another job,” Martinez says in the follow-up video, which she captioned, “Why did I not think this through? Someone hire me daddy before I get fired.”
