In an interview today..

Me - "So tell me why you say on your resume you're a hard worker and respectful of others"

Girl - "Ok, well...(cell phone noise)... just a second" she then proceeded to to pull out her phone and answer a text... "Sorry, didn't want to let her forget we were going out tonight"

Me - "Don't worry about, you can just call her now, and let her know you're done"

*facepalm*

Is this where, after they leave your office, you mutter, 'stupid git'?

I'm hoping for one of those interviews where he asks me questions about WitP functions, we shoot the breeze for a bit, I get hired on the spot for an exorbitant salary and then take him out for drinks to the pub on the corner. [:D]

Here's hoping, eh? [:D]

When he asks about your hobbies, just do not tell him the truth. Golf, masturbation and strangling small animals doesn't go over well with the hiring set. [:-]
