I interview people for a living, but I always have to ask the same questions, so it's boring.  I have practiced a lot at telling people how to answer the "Tell me about yourself" question though.

Oh! And someone I haven't seen since being back that I miss, sucrets! I never got to see many pictures of her little one.

You know what we really need around here, IMO?  Some really good, original trolls.  That aren't mean and nasty.

Thanks AATB!  I like you too, you were cracking me up the other day but I can't remember what you were saying because the last two-three weeks are a blur.  I lurked a lot to distract myself from studying but didn't post much because my brain wasn't working properly.

J&K, I am way too excited about holiday engagements and the subsequent silliness that will follow to care too much about trolls

Well, I have stupid applicants who say "well, I have a dog and a cat and I live with my boyfriend and my mom is 40..." and ramble.  Which is obviously what you shouldn't say on an interview.  I tell them to start with most recent work history first, talk about education and qualifications and try to express the qualities that you can't put on a resume.  Basically a lot of bullshit.

Can I ask the other lurkers (and regs who are here) a question?  What's your favorite movie?  I feel like you can tell a lot about people from their favorite movie.

Mine's Shaun of the Dead.

It's actually a horrible question. Sorry, Ash. It just opens up the possibility of the candidate sharing so much inappropriate info because then usually start in with "well, I'm a 27 year old mother of 3 just getting back into the swing of things".

If you are asked, you should answer with a brief  15 - 30 second commercial that will tell the person about your professional / educational background, why you are interested in the job and what you can bring to the table.

A friend of my sister's got engaged last year at midnight on New Year's Eve, and the wedding is this coming New Year's Day.  The funniest shiit to me is that my sister says this chick had her entire wedding planned within the first two weeks of her engagement and has been basically sitting around for a year in between Catholic counseling sessions.

mnj, did you really join in 2008, and do you realize that it``s a long time ago!   Sorry for the weird punctuation, my computers having a tantrum.

This keeps happening ÉÉÉÉ and`````.  ```````````````.  How do I fix thatÉ (that  weird E is a question mark at the moment)

Dude, I agree, it's totally a horrible question.  I don't ask people that, my questions are more to the point, but I'm a recruiter so I have to prepare people to answer that when they're on interviews with my employers.

I wouldn't have expected anything other than a Christmas movie, honestly.  It's perfect.  And I do love the Muppet Christmas Carol.

My last name is Muse. I was initially Muse somethingorother but then felt wierd have my last name as my SN. I'm very reluctant about changing it because Dave's is BORING but, as progressive and free thinking and whatever as I am I'm going to take his last name.

If I had to pick ONE favorite movie, it would Pulp Fiction.

I did. I'm telling you, I've been "around" forever. I probably only lurked for a couple of months at first, I wasn't even engaged. I was getting ideas for my now SIL who got married in 2008, then when I got engaged in late 2009, I started lurking again.
