She captioned the post: "You couldn't write it honestly."
Courtney explained: "So, I just back from a job interview and one of the questions was like, 'How's your health? Do you have any back problems? Can you lift heavy items?' - as this job involves lifting heavy things.
"I said, 'Yeah, I've worked in hospitality, worked in the pub to move a barrel, you know, all that jazz'.
"And then the next question was 'How flexible are you?'
"I went, 'Well, I can't do the splits, but I could probably do a headstand...
"She was on about hours!" She exclaimed.
"She wanted to know how flexible my shifts could be!
"I don't think I've got the job..." She added.
In a shocking turn of events and despite Courtney's assumptions about her mishap - she confirmed in the comment section that she actually secured the role.
