During the recession (no, not that one, the other one) I had to do a cattle call mass interview with other unemployed chefs at an assisted living facility. The one who one the interview became the new chef at the facility.

that was the prize.

It was horrible.

I won.

*I lasted 3 days into my first week, then was called for another position in a different town and never looked back.

There are worse things in life than a bad interview.....you could get the job.

Oh lord mate. How did you win the interview?

at that point I had 22+ years experience, has The Ritz-Carlton, Park Hyatt, Wolfgang Puck, Private golf clubs etc. on my resume.

The GM was a former hotel manager, who wanted to turn it into a high end hotel style facility....so inspoke to that and we connected.

shudder I felt dirty

One thing that most people forget, a perspective that should always be on the mind; is that when you work a job you are selling yourself and your time. Don't feel dirty, feel qualified. And smart enough to hit the eject button the next ment a better option became available.
