|
<p>I have to be honest and say that I dropped the reading of this half-way through |
|
it.</p> |
|
<p>Right out of the bad, the author warns that one shouldn't simply repeat the |
|
answers she's giving here, but put it their (the reader) own twist. And she |
|
does a good thing by adding, after the answer, some tips around the answer |
|
itself: why it works, what you shouldn't do, why such questions are asked...</p> |
|
<p>But not every single answer have an explanation. They are there by themselves, |
|
which makes a bit hard to put your own twist on them if you don't have any |
|
pointers on why it works.</p> |
|
<p>Also, so answers are simply... to hard to agree with. For example, if you have |
|
kids and the interviewer asks if you had any problem staying up late working, |
|
the answer is around the lines of "Fuck no. Fuck my kids. I love work. Go |
|
work!" Not on those terms, but the interviewer is basically asking if you would |
|
mind letting go of your time with your kids and you should answer "sure, fine"? |
|
Obviously, you're trying to get that job, but what would happen if you say |
|
something like "I don't mind staying late working instead of seeing my kids" |
|
only to, months later, have your boss pissing on your hear for going home early |
|
'cause one of your kids is sick? Are you going to answer "but it was my kid, |
|
and they were sick!"? That's not what you said in the interview...</p> |
|
<p>Obviously, there are things you can do to doing fine in an interview, but I |
|
guess lying is not one of those.</p> |
