Раз уж мы заговорили о собеседованиях, делимся целой историей с фразовыми глаголами и идиомами:

After the IT school, I was turned down by lots of companies before I was finally taken on by a VR startup. I thought it was a nine-to-five job but I was wrong. I had to work all hours, and our CEO was constantly checking up on me to make sure I was hard at it. To make matters worse, we were dealing with some financial difficulties. Once I realized that I wasn’t cut out for the job, I decided to hand in my notice. But before I had a chance, they gave me the sack – they realized I was hopeless!
