Two days ago, I had never interviewed anyone before. As of today, I've done two of them—Jim Brice, senior principal engineer at Orbital Sciences Corporation, and Alan Stern, principal investigator of the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.
The results of this awkward question and answer and fumbling will show up sometime in a SEDS newsletter, or here.
I still don't get Kirk "Walters". Did I miss a joke somewhere? Otherwise, nice job on your first set of interviews.
Next time you can wear an Apprentice t-shirt that says "You're Hired!" on it and when they read it say "Ok! Thanks for the interview, I'll be in on Monday to start!" and run out before they contradict you. Trick them into hiring you--it's the only way.
Otherwise you have to use the strength of your resume and lots of good interpersonal skills. And who wants to do that?
