    Any good interview story's??

    I just had one... not sure I am prepared to talk about it yet lol! Let's just say, it wasn't the most orthodox lol! They started with, "what questions do you have for us?". Doesn't that come last lol?

    Well the only ones to have interviewed me have been the police. It was a long time ago but is still not a subject I choose to discuss.

    I've been to several interviews that were nothing more than a ruse to collect data and your email address, and create store traffic.
    ('aka 'job fair') My inbox spam reflects this. I'm willing to bet they never really hire anybody.

    I got a job as assistant corporate counsel for this summer, and one of the things I was asked during my interview was, "so, tell me about this straight razor hobby, that sounds interesting."



    Yes, yes I will tell you about it.
    State v. Durham, 323 N.W. 2d 243, 245 (Iowa 1982) (holding that a straight razor is per se a "dangerous weapon").

    What's an interview? The last one I had was going on 40 years ago. Can't remember what was said but it must have gone OK retiring 34 years after it.

    The last interview i had went something along the lines of:
    "Hi, sit down,
    Please fill in this application,
    What size uniform do you take,
    When can you start"
