Movies about Tv interview
I’m searching for movies which are centered around an interview. I would use google but I cannot find the right keywords to search it. I’ve been searching lists in IMDB or Letterboxd but nothing appears. I’m not asking for the best movies with interviews but rather to list every movie which uses this narrative motif. For now the movies I have are:
Jackie
Titánský
Rozhovor s upírem
Mlčení jehňátek (A bit of a stretch here but I think it could be considered that way)
Rozhovor
Rozhovor
I know my list is pretty short and there must be hundreds of movies that follow this pattern but that is why I’m asking for a bit of help here.
If we manage to have a big list I will make a letterboxd movie list of all the movies mentioned here. I think it can be interesting.
Edit: Here is the letterboxd list which I’ll keep updating with your answers.
7 of the Best Movie and TV Interview Scenes
Education isn’t all about studying facts in a certain order to answer on a multiple choice quiz that you’ll be graded on. Learning isn’t about doing something that’s boring just so you can receive society’s stamp of approval. It’s about extrapolating information from the world around you in a way that’s valuable to you in the moment that you need it. It’s also about combining seemingly unrelated points into meaningful, big ideas!
That’s why here at Praxis, we love drawing career lessons for our participants from modern pop culture and other avenues that most people decry as a waste of time. Fun fact: Education Director T.K. Coleman challenged himself to make a Twilight Zone reference in every speech he makes in 2019. So far, he’s done it!
But I didn’t say all that for kicks. That’s why I’m going to let you in on our favorite interview scenes from movies. Then I’ll share a lesson from each scene that you can keep in mind for your future interviews.
Dobrý Will Hunting
Lesson: Don’t be afraid to negotiate.
Office Space
Lesson: Show your work. Don’t let it get to the point where people question your whether you create value or not.
Táta v sukni
Lesson: An interview isn’t about you. It’s about a problem you can solve for a company.
Přátelé
Lesson: Your interviewer is a person too! Knowing this can be the difference between landing the job or losing it.
Internship
Lesson: Don’t talk too much.
Tommy Boy
Lesson: Don’t get carried away when talking about your weaknesses. Instead, make it clear that you have the ability to turn them into strengths!
Obleky
Lesson: Demonstrate your value creation potential. That’s all a hiring manager wants to see.
Now let me ask you a question: isn’t this type of learning much more philosophically challenging and inspiring? If you’re tired of educating yourself by checking boxes, Praxis might be for you. Here, you’ll get real-world experience and a higher education experience that’s tailored to your personal goals and interests. It’s going to push you to your limits, but if that excites you rather than scares you, don’t wait to apply to Praxis!

The 10 Funniest Job Interviews From Film and TV
If you’re looking for advice on how to interview someone — this blog’s for you. If you’d like advice on how (not) to mess up an interview — this blog’s for you. If you’re a bit of a film buff and/or fancy a giggle today — this blog’s for you!
Ever walked out of an interview and thought “what the hell was that?”
Perhaps you managed to screw up tremendously or maybe the interviewer was just a bit weird?
These things do happen.
In fact, some film and television Directors have even managed to recreate these instances of embarrassment, cringe and horror for our entertainment…
I’ve collected the 10 best and funniest examples of on-screen job interviews for your amusement this week.
Varování: some of these videos do feature (very) explicit language!
1. Step Brothers.
Are you a fan of Will Ferrell? Then you’ll LOVE this clip.
One of my all-time favourite films, this interview scene pretty much sums up “Step Brothers.”
Warning: some bad language.
Recruiter Tip: You will have frustrating times as an interviewer but do try to keep your cool. (Screaming ‘get out’ probably won’t look very professional).
Candidate Tip: Do NOT bring anyone with you to an interview.
Weirdly, we have actually had job candidates turn up to interview with a family member (among other bizarre things). it didn’t go down well.
2. Peep Show.
People sabotage their own job interviews all the time, but obvykle not on purpose.
Jez certainly goes out with a bang in this hilarious clip from Peep Show…
If only he’d know he was never going to get the job in the first place (probably)!
Recruiter Tip: Tam vůle be time-wasters throughout the interviewing process. You must learn how to spot them! (Click here to see our 4-step technique for doing just that).
Candidate Tip: If you really don’t want the job – just don’t go to the interview! It’s a waste of your time, as well as the interviewer’s.
3. Mrs. Doubtfire.
Everyone has their favourite Robin Williams movie and Mrs. Doubtfire just happens to be mine.
The comedy genius was given completely free reign to go wild in this hilarious interview scene.
“What do you mean, you do voices. ”
Well — she did ask, didn’t she?
Recruiter Tip: Most candidates will attempt to answer every question and do whatever you tell them to do (within reason) so if you don’t want to know, don’t ask!
Candidate Tip: Some talents are best kept to yourself in an interview situation.
4. The Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon Cooper from “The Big Bang Theory” is not exactly known for his social skills and tact, but you’d think maybe (just maybe) someone could have prepped him to tone down his pompous nature for a job interview?
We’ve faced over-confident, cocky and arrogant interviewees at Coburg Banks in the past, but never quite like Sheldon (thank goodness).
Recruiter Tip: Some job candidates may have the right (or even superior) credentials for the role, but that doesn’t mean they’ll fit in well! Be on the look out for major personality flaws that are likely to clash with your company’s culture.
Candidate Tip: There’s a difference between being confident and being cocky — you need to strike a balance. (If you’d like some body language tips, click here).
5. The Internship.
Google are renowned for their strange interview questions and techniques and the ‘Internship’ is a great film based on this.
Considering that characters Billy and Nick are applying to work for Google, it’s pretty funny to see that technology really isn’t their strong point.
In the end, I personally think that the dynamic duo do manage to out-wit their interviewers — and at the very least their answers are unique!
Recruiter Tip: Don’t immediately judge a book by it’s cover.
Candidate Tip: It’s OK to be different, if your answers are still relevant and smart.
6. Přátelé.
Have you heard the rumours? The Friends’ cast MIGHT be reuniting for some sort of special episode.
Fans are certainly excited at the prospect and it’s easy to see why — just think back on all of those hilariously memorable moments.
For example, Monica’s (slightly weird) restaurant interview.
And who could forget Chandler’s «doodie» issues and Rachel’s embarrassing faux pas.
Recruiter Tip: There are some things that you simply cannot talk about (or hint at) in an interview. Click here to see the full list!
Candidate Tip: Sometimes, the right thing to do is to just leave!
7. Ted.
When you were younger, did you ever wish that your teddy bears would come to life and talk to you?
That’s what happened with Ted — although probably not in the cute, cuddly way you might expect.
Warning: this one is really (really) rude.
This entire film is really not for the faint-hearted.
Recruiter Tip: Don’t ignore major character flaws; if someone’s willing to show them at an interview, they’ll probably show them at work too.
Candidate Tip: Being a bit bolshie might work in interview — although, obviously not to the ridiculous extent showcased in Ted.
8. Monty Python.
This hilarious scene from Monty Python displays, just possibly, the strangest job interview ever to grace our television screens.
And, to be honest, I think viewers were probably just as confused as the poor interviewee.
Poor sod; how on earth do you react to something like that?
Recruiter Tip: Just don’t be a d*ck in an interview.
Candidate Tip: Some interviewers will actually try to wind you up. It’s OK to question their behaviour — would you even want to work for them anyway?
9. The Company Men.
You may not recognise this one, but it’s definitely a doozy!
*Shudder* — well she definitely got told.
(I’m sure we’ve all met a couple of interviewers, we’d like to give what for. )
Recruiter Tip: Recruitment is a two-way street; be kind to interviewees and don’t waste their time.
Candidate Tip: Don’t be bitter if you don’t get the job. Hold your head up high and prove your interviewer wrong. Who knows when you’ll come across them again in the future.
10. The Simpsons.
We all love Homer Simpson; the lovable, lazy rogue…
But I’m pretty sure none of us would want to work with him!
It was never going to go well was it?
Recruiter Tip: Don’t let your personal biases sneak into the interviewing process; be fair to everyone.
Candidate Tip: It’s OK to tell an occasional white lie.
Some Inspiration from The Office.
I’ll leave you with some real interview inspiration from the legend himself, Dwight Schrute…
I’d hire him – would you?
And you thought your interview was bad?
Recruitment is a two-way street and interviewing is difficult from both sides of the table.
Recruiters need to be careful that they’re acting appropriately, asking the right questions and finding out everything that they need to know.
Whilst candidates must make sure that they come across confident, friendly and capable of fulfilling the job at hand.
Recruiter Pro Tip. Whichever side of the table you happen to be on, keep calm and remember, always be prepared!
