If you’re asked what is 1+1 your answer should be “whatever you want it to be”

My answer? By the time I get to the bottom of a tax return, that "1+1" will have turned into a tax loss.

My interviews end when the HR person remarks, "your resume is too strong for this position." Rather than say, "why'd you bring me in the first place?", I ask for their assistance in "dumbing down" my resume.

HR personnel can burn in hell, as far as I'm concerned.

And if you think your interviewer doesn’t get that from you and your body language, you’re kidding yourself. There’s a pretty wide gulf between self assured and arrogant. Evaluating the best fit for the job absolutely includes attitude. I’ve shown my share of hotshots the door for just that reason. Because I know I have an interview later that day with someone just as strong. Thank God I don’t do that job anymore.

But you’re absolutely right that under and over qualified people should not be brought in for time wasting interviews.
