A Recent Job Interview

So as Benjamin, Neil and Allen work away on IGotNewsForYou.com at a feverish pace of about 20 minutes per day, I went on a job interview recently. I prepared for it just as the employment counselors advise, you know, learn about the company, practice your questions and answers, prepare the right clothes, shower, clip fingernails, remember the firm handshake, eye contact, get there on time and on and on and on and on. I did all of that. I've been in this position a few times... It was a small hi-tech firm but the ages of the three people who interviewed me, I don't think, added up to mine. One of the girls was wearing a sweat suit...I was wearing my suit. The head technical guy was unshaven, looked like he hadn't showered in weeks, and was about 200 pounds overweight. And all I could focus on was his chest hairs showing in the opening of his shirt that was so stretched across his burly frame I thought I would have to be there when it burst...and they asked me about my strengths and weaknesses. Needless to say I don't think that there was a good organizational fit here. So I took off my suit and put on my shorts (not in front of them, I went home first...not that I think they wouuld have cared). I took a look at the developing IGotNewsForYou.com website, emailed the guys some ideas and suggestions and went to watch Oprah.
