I did have some hilariously bad job offers/interviews from there.
I went along to a shady London College (the ones that are almost solely used by foreign students to get student visa's then go missing) for a freelance gig redoing their prospectus. the ad didn't name the college at the time so I didn't know it was dodgy.
I get there and the guy explains that the gig pays less than half the advertised amount, and he posted it with a typo. Quite how someone makes a typo on £800 and types £2200... He then explains I need to use their machine, which is a Windows 98 POS with CorelDraw 2 or something like that on it. The 450mb file of the existing prospectus loads after about 20 minutes...
He then explains that I need to fingerprint scan in and out of the building as a clock-in mechanism, and that I need to be in the building and available Mon-Sat 7AM-9PM in case amends need to be made.
To top it all off, he told me payment wouldn't be given until 6 months after the Prospectuses are printed and handed out, as it's dependent on a rise in applicants.
I laughed at him, called him a twat and left.
