  • You might point out another one. conducting your interview over the phone to someone who is only answering the phone.

    I get that a lot and it is time consuming. Come down fill out the application. It is worth your time if you take the time.

    And know that there are 52 weeks in a year.

    Great blog. I have a formal interview Weds. and it's not so much the part of what I shouldn't say that stumps me, as the part of what I should say. I hate the open ended questions with no right answer. The "where do you see yourself in five years?" questions.

    I have always been "the best" at my job and have moved up quickly because of it. In my younger years, I opened up Fitness Centers all over the east coast. Recently I was able to open up a new division for an engineering company. But when my wife and I were stationed in Ohio, I couldn't get a job at Home Depot because I blew the interview. hahaha I love to talk to people but, when it comes to some of those questions, I'm just like, "uuuuhhhhhhhhh?" I just wish they would do away with interviews :)
