[Jolly Well]

I'll have to remember the question to answer as interviewee or ask as interviewer...

And an interview experience of my own. It doesn't end quite with the success of the one listed above, but memorable for me to this day (it was from an interview several years ago)...


So the story starts like this:

I apply for this job, and go through several interview and testing phases. A load of crap for employment. Finally I get notice of a final interview (finally! as this has gone on for weeks), but the thing is, guy wants to interview me over the phone....

This seems kinda lame, and really drags my impression of the company down a bit, but I agree to it anyhow (what choice do I have right?). So, I turn on the Xbox and wait for the phone call while I race around the galaxy in LucasArts Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Fast forward..... Guy calls, and immediately I can tell.... He's a <censored>. He just has this tone of voice that makes me realize why he doesn't want to interview in person (to save his hide from constant floggings). Fortunately, I've more pressing matters to deal with at the moment - like laying some Jedi Justice to these Gramorean Thugs (the pig guys from star wars), who are causing all sorts of mayhem on Tatooine.

My instincts don't fail me either.. Once we get past the generic interview questions, he starts giving me attitude. I mean, if I don't get the job, then I don't get the job; but I'm not listening to a bunch of crap from some <insert explicative> either way.

He throws a few questions out that I'm certain he thinks are witty. Lameness, and I knock em out without pause. Overall, I'm kicking serious interview <tail> by now. However, because of this guy I'm starting to think I don't want to work for this company. I think it was a good decision, maybe fate, possibly destiny ("It is your destiny" - Darth Vader), but as I defeat the evil sith lord Malak (beating the game), this jerk finally comes out with lame question number 100(or so), with his same snooty attitude:

Him: "Tell me of a time when you went above and beyond the call of duty outside of the workplace?"

Me: "Well, I just saved the galaxy <censored because it's an entire donkey>. What have you done beyond the call of duty?"

Soon after, I hear a dial tone... I'm guessing they went with another applicant.
