I know I am still waiting to hear about a job in Hastings had the interview 2+ years ago! Mind you that was not a fun day!, get set for one interview, on the train get a phone call the company wants to interview me for a second different role at a different site an hour later... Two interviews one day!!

Yup! the worst bit was trying to answer questions on Data bases when I don't know that much about them and all my pre-interview prep was for the electronics job which wasn't...

Last year, I had two interviews for a job in a company, first technical, second with management; The result of the second interview was "All OK for us, the next step will be a meeting with HR for clarifying administrative details, we will contact you". And then nothing anymore. When I called back after a week or so, the guy could barely remember we had met, so had to look up for my name to know who I was, and told me "Ah yes, that job opening has been canceled on monday" and he hung up.
At first, I really wondered what company has the time to set up two appointments with a candidate, spend 5 hours in interviews, some part of it with senior management, to finally forget to call back the candidate ?! In between, I came to the conclusion that the job was offered someone internal to the company, but they had at least to do some external interviews to satisfy some non-discrimination code of conducts. Apparently, my own company does that as well. Still, this is overall very sick.

Since Manfred won on Wednesday, and didn't post one yesterday, or today...
Let's see if we can keep this alive...
"Hull 1, Crew 0 - is that ship naked?" (8)
Hint: "No crew, no supplies: the rentals about a Bat Robe!"

That's the problem with CCC. Sometimes the solution is so obvious but we try to think for a complex solution

Are you just posting random eight letter words again?
No, that's not it.
Neither is it Aardvark, Aardwolf, Abaction, Abaculus, Abalones, Abampere, Abandons, Abasedly, Abashing, Abatable, Abatised, ...

Well nope... My logic was complicated chain of thoughts..
Hull 1, Crew 0 means Ship is empty.
And the question "Is the ship naked" implies its being taken down. aka Shipbreaking...aka DISMANTLE( 9 words ) and so nearest similar word will be DISMOUNT which also means Crew went out the ship.
Honestly the logic made more sense in my head. But when I wrote it down, I am embarrassed

You're getting closer - the "ship is empty" bit is spot on.

Well well, Now I can think of many 8 letter words but I don't have a solution
Deserted or lifeless or may be Disarmed. I think there is still hope when you provide hint

I believe it's more related to pole dancers and their likes
Yet I can't find a solution to back it up. And I'm pretty sure if I'd get it right I would have forgotten about it on monday, so I don't dare posting my wild guess

Not quite, no - not sure that would be as KSS as the Lounge should be...

Explanation:-
Bareboat - rent a boat with no crew etc.
The anagram clue is what got it for me.

Sorry for the delay - I had to go out.
Well done, you are up tomorrow.

Urggh? The clue you gave was obviously for CREWLESS as in Hull got one, Crew got less. (I'll be kind and not point out that the place is called Crewe ... oh, darn it!)
