Job interviews can be a nerve-wracking experience for all of us.

But spare a thought for the applicants behind this list of cringe-worthy confessions, who have revealed faux pas ranging from inadvertently tripping over a prospective employer, to coming face-to-face with a former one night stand on the panel.

They're among hundreds of very candid would-be employees who told all to recruitment firm Reed, which compiled a list of hilarious encounters in interview rooms.

Read on for more interview nightmares - from falling off the chair to vomiting in front of the panel.

How bad are you at job interviews? People have revealed their worst experiences - and they include throwing up, passing out and bursting into tears

TOP 20 AWKWARD MOMENTS IN A JOB INTERVIEW

It's safe to assume that none of the applicants got the job...

1. I'd had a one night stand with my interviewer. Pretended not to recognise her.

2. The interviewer's name was Siobhan and I pronounced it the way it was spelt. Realised my mistake two minutes from the end.

3. Arrived wearing a Celtic FC tie only to be shown into an office festooned with Glasgow Rangers memorabilia. Did not get the job.

4. I went for an interview to work in a museum. They gave me an artefact to look at which I immediately picked up. Then I noticed the pair of cotton gloves on the table that I should have put on first.

5. I threw up in the middle of the interview.

6. Bumped into my current boss while at lunch with the interviewer.

7. Tripped up the interviewer by treading on her flip-flop.

8. Was unexpectedly interviewed in Welsh.

9. The interviewer reached over the table and went to shake my hand. Nerves got the better of me and I inadvertently winked at him.

10. I burst into tears during the interview because my dog had just died.

11. I spilt coffee on my shirt and tie moments before walking in.

12. The chair broke, I fell off it and started crying.

13. I burped in the middle of an answer.

14. The interviewer was an ex-girlfriend's dad

15. Passed out during a second interview and woke up in an ambulance.

16. Went to the loo in the disabled toilet. Pulled the string thinking it was the flush rather than the alarm. Every employee arrived to help me. Worst day of my life.

17. Walked into the interview and the person interviewing me was someone I had had sacked in another position

18. I sneezed all over the interviewer. It was so embarrassing

19. The traffic was awful, I was very short of time and got ready in a rush. It was only during the interview that I looked down and realised I was wearing odd shoes.

20. Interviewer had a heart attack and I had to give him CPR
