Oh my god. I would love to have 12 people interview for my job. Truth about Apple.
When I wear a tie at work, people know that either A) important customers are in town or B) I am interviewing elsewhere. Everyone in the building know this.
You are killing me here. People are wondering why I am spitting diet coke on my laptop…

This video made me laugh and cry at the same time, because it’s so true (about me) and I’ve been saying those exact things at my interviews! :( “I can bring a combination of technical passion and business skills and bridge the gap … etc” … darn, I thought I was so smart for coming up with it too! T_T … would love any help on NOT saying those generic things and differentiating myself, CrankyPM!
