    How to crash and burn in an interview

    Just had an interview in London.

    Crashed and burned in the wierdest way possible. I was too good. Could clearly see them saying "better not, he might make us look bad".

    Waiting on feedback, but I'll be a monkey's uncle.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    Done that in the past. They wanted someone who would do stuff but didn't know more than they did...

    The annoying bit wasn't the fact I knew too much, it was the fact I hadn't know it but had obviously prepped further than I should have done.

        They wanted someone to work on the fries station, you should not have said you have worked on the coffee machine before.

          And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

              Or they were worried about you stirring up loads of heavyweight process tulip when they just want someone to write a few excel macros.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
