Too hot! So, I quickly changed into my Supergirl t-shirt (Bright blue with a giant S on the front), jeans and sneakers in the restaurant downstairs from the building where the interview took place. As I was leaving, I saw the girl who interviewed me and she was all giggling about my outfit and brought me BACK into the building to introduce me to some people. I am now known as Supergirl at work!

Hmmm.<br /><br /><br />I do recall one interview I was conducting where when we came to the harder type predictable questins you know you are going to be asked, the guy just dropped his mouth and his eyes got all big as he slowly scanned the room with them. I felt like we had been plunged into water and he was some big gaping fish. It was sooo bizarre. He must have gone on for a well over a minute like that with nothing to say until we butted in to end his agony. I was cringing so bad for him. For a moment there I thoguht pehaps he has a seizure.mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991486156897232661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-90900641929732290502009-05-22T05:58:36.878+10:002009-05-22T05:58:36.878+10:00Lilly you're hiring!

Of course it would be a long way to go for an interview. Do you think the guy knows of your blog?<br /><br />I mostly have enjoyed interviewing people. I find it better giving the interview than getting it.<br /><br />One time (long ago) the candidate mentioned that he lived with a WOLF. Now this was Chicagoland not Montana. He was hired too but turned out to be a terrible worker and fired some months later. He got along better with wolves than people.<br /><br />One other memorable one - I got to interview a guy that had been my boss at one time. That was fun - he didn't know I was on the interview team and was shocked to see me.Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-28040248657869124812009-05-22T05:08:54.652+10:002009-05-22T05:08:54.652+10:00When I was more heavily into shooting weddings yea...When I was more heavily into shooting weddings years ago, a potential bride was interviewing me to shoot her upcoming event. This girl didn't realize that I also was doing a little interviewing of her to see if I even cared to shoot this thing. Early in our conversation, she quite blatantly tells me that she would be a getting a package that included proofs so that she could scan them and make prints somewhere else cheaper. Hello? Have you heard of copyright infringement and the $$$ penalties that go along with that????? I politely informed her of the illegality of this. She insisted that she had a guy in town who does it for her all the time. <br /><br />Needless to say, I did not shoot her wedding. Aw, the pain of passing that one up.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722162542135510165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-65345386541648534102009-05-22T04:03:59.699+10:002009-05-22T04:03:59.699+10:00Oh hire him!

I would've probably said something like. "Next time you have a job interview I suggest that your plants be the ONLY ones who get their viagra fix. Or at best, apply for a job with a construction company where you can 'erect'....um...'things'...you know, like...uh...buildings and uh...other stuff. Or possibly apply as a breakfast cook at the local diner, where you have 'get up' early. Or possibly a hot air ballon rider, where you can be filled with hot air and 'rise' all at the same time. Just a thought. Things you might want to consider." <br /><br />Okay, okay, I know. I'm totally warped, but you love me anyway. :D<br /><br />And I love you dear one. I have to admit that you live the MOST unusual and intriguing life of anyone I know. OR it may just be the WAY that you see the world that makes you so absolutely delightful. I can only imagine a delight it would be to go on a trip with you. I would be in agony from constantly laughing. When my sweetheart and I travel we are like that. We laugh our guts out. sending a great big huge hug. Know that you are in my thoughts and heart. You leave an indelible impression.

Hey, he gave you a great blog post.<br />I've heard about aspirin extending the life of flowers.<br />I flubbed one interview for a temporary job by answering one question inappropriately actually by flubbing on a question and getting it terribly wrong (I'd had a really bad morning and expected to go over my notes before the interview but when I got there 20 minutes early, they brought me right in). Everything went down hill from there.
