Today I had to do a doc review at the firm that offered me a job before Satan f/k/a Big Boss torpedoed it by refusing to waive a conflict.
The associate working on the case for the other side was actually one of the many, many people with whom I interviewed at that firm. When I reminded him that we had met before, he said "oh, yeah, you're the one from [former firm]. I've heard a lot of bad stuff about that firm."
Later in the day someone else popped into the conference room I was working in and said, "wow, you look really familiar, have we met before?" To which I replied, "yes, you interviewed me for a job here." "Ohh..." she said, as the recognition started fading in.
I may forever be known as "the girl who got screwed out of a job" in my local legal community.

Wow, that sounds awkward -- good for you for being so upfront about it!
Well, on the flip side, at least your former boss is known as the asshole who screwed that chick out of a job. Good luck to him getting quality associates willing to sacrifice their future opportunities, even in this crappy job market. There are certain attorneys around here NO ONE is desperate enough to work for.
