This article describes a process I find vaguely familiar. My most recent experience is quite different. I posed two statements/questions to disqualify myself. Didn’t work. They had pretty well made their minds up.
One of my favorite bad interviews was in 1993. In the first of a series of co-worker interviews the lady asked “so why do you want to work with us?” I responded “I’m not sure yet that I do.” Oh, that’s a third comment I made to disqualify myself five weeks ago. I cited that experience and told my interviewers that they owed me a response.
Anyway - all is well so far. And we never got to the lie detector or Kenpo master.
I just can’t stand the interview process. I would just love to respond this way, but of course, never would. After three months I finally got a job, and a pretty good one.
