weegegirl 2 #27 April 15, 2005 Quotesoo did u tell her the job was 15 hours a day??? sort of. i told her there would be NO shortage of hours, so expect to make about double the number she's thinking of. i told her about ten times that we are working at a REALLY crazy pace with very tight deliverables. I told her I didn't want her to run into any surprises. She was apprently good with that.

What makes you unique from other candidates? I've always hated that one too. I mean I understand the "why should we hire you" and the desire to hear the candidate explain what she thinks are her strong suits but when I'm asked: "What makes you unique from the other candidates I just have to answer with the truth wich is: "I couldn't tell you, I don't really know any of the other candidates." If I've been jerked around in an interview, I wait until they finally ask if I have any questions, then I fire it right back at them - "Why should I work for you?" That takes usually HR pukes by surprise. They're accustomed to watching people squirm. It really shocks them when somebody gives them a taste of their own iron. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

People get so caught up in the moment of trying to "get the job", that they forget to look down the job a year or two. I'm not one to talk. I can never answer that question... "what do you see yourself doing 10 years from now?" my answer....... being a dz bum, retired, with a nice savings. any more questions???
