Congratulations on having found the needle in the haystack. You have already made it farther than many struggling job seekers. You are now getting ready to face the panel of seemingly harmless individuals – the interviewers. You have made copies of your resume, neatly filed all your degree certificates while carefully camouflaging the transcript with an excess of Ds, and practiced your suave smart look a million times in the bathroom mirror. You have read about the job description, you have had enough years of preparation about your field and you have even read up a few commonly asked interview questions.
Not too long ago I was at an interview that I’d rather not talk about. But since I am writing about it, one of two things could have happened here – either I have moved on OR I enjoy torturing myself.
