In my second week at a previous Job I was sent an invitation to the monthly dress up party. I turned up dressed as Peter Pan. When I arrived, it was explained to me the invitation was in fact a joke.
On me.

Most embarrassing professional moment
Working with a Melbourne radio station, when we were frantically preparing for a VIP guest. As I arrived at the station and there was a man waiting for the lift. We got into the lift and we made some polite small talk. I excused myself to exit the lift and let him know I had to get to my important meeting with our VIP guest.
I noticed when I turned around that most of the station were lining up for his autograph. It didn’t take long to work out that he was in fact our VIP guest… Richard Branson.
