    Yeah, I have an interview tomorrow afternoon. Fucking dreading it. Dunno how to say: "your company looks fucking dreadful but this seems to be the only way I can gain enough experience to get a decent chance at people even considering my CV elsewhere" in a nice way.

    i think i do answer job interview questions truthfully. i just don't go into as much unnecessary detail as the people in the video did.

    also, i feel like the girl that claimed to be college valedictorian was being quite dishonest about that one.

    I can't really treat interviews seriously. Its just as well I haven't had one since just after uni.
    Personnel oops "HR" people are just idiots in my experience. THat guy in the film TRainspotting had it right.

    I remember I went to FOUR interviews for some job in the City (that's Ldon's Wall St). It turned out the jobs had basically been filled months before.
    Anyway, one of them liked me so I was invited for ANOTHER INTERVIEW for ANOTHER JOB.

    Occasionally, I've interviewed people myself more recently. I make a point of telling them the "it looks good on the resume" routine and canned answers isn't what I'm looking for.

    Thing with the guy in Trainspotting is: he didn't really want the job ;)
