The dude on the other end of the line heard death metal in the back ground, and got scared...

I only did one and it was for a position on a website. Never for a job.

Bringer took the advice of Ugh!.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic, I actually mean it went about as well as it could've.

Thankfully, I don't really get nervous in situations like that, so I never had to clear my throat or utter an "uhm" or anything. I just answered everything directly and it was over within 15 minutes. Ontop of that, I made the guy laugh at one point, so we'll see what happens.

You can't say some sh*t like that without giving me details, Shiranui.

It was about a year ago, unexpected call woke me up so I had zero prep time (wasn't like they'd informed me a phone interview was coming) on like two hours sleep

Think I stuttered through the whole thing, was only adrenaline that kept me coherent.

They suck but are a necessary evil.

The ones they make us do, suck and last forever.

I really feel sorry for the candidates having to do magic tricks at a moment's notice.

My dad gave me great advice before I got my first job. He said just say and do exactly the opposite of what you really think.

Served me well throughout the years.
