Confessions of a Serial Interviewer by Steven Ra Ga
So let me just start by saying I am Sad…
My step father died of Cancer last week and we buried him on Monday.
So I am kinda in a state if I don’t give a fuck about anything.
And I recently just had an online video recorded interview with a well known tech giant for their inside sales position.
I also just started a new job in sales but felt like taking the interview anyway.
I decided to Office Space it. A film about a guy who stops carrying and does everything he can to get fired but keeps getting promoted in his job. It’s a term I coined while at my old job. Sometimes you just have to get out of your own head and way to make your life better and not take things too seriously.
The interview asked me several behavioural questions, I thought I could do the typical cheery say what they want to hear interview but then I thought fuck it!
I could care less about this job, so let’s have fun. I just spoke my mind, I swore. I rambled and one question asked “why do you want to work here.” My response “why not” another question said “what makes you the best candidate” my response “I’m the best, I could care less if you hire me, I am calm, cool and overall chill, you know you want to hire me, because I am handsome and a creative thinker.”
I thought to myself, how many interview videos does some poor sap have to watch, why not be weird and funny to change it up. Maybe they will love it, maybe they will hate it.
But really who gives a fuck right?
