Can't remember the last time I interviewed for a job. Before my contracting career though.

What would you do if you saw a battleship in a forest

I still don't know the correct answer, but I decided to be sarcastic and say I guess I'd stop drinking

1. No, honestly - not ever. I tend to avoid idiots, though.

2. Exactly 1. (I'll not count the 'technical interview' I had with an Indian agency when I got bored and started to argue with them)

3. I always treat my interviews as business meetings, and have done for years. As such, I've usually got a good feel for how the 'flow' of it has gone and how much on the same wavelength we are.

No.

How many interviews you attend to get a job generally?

One

How would you guess outcome of the interview will be?

If I feel the interview has gone well, then it generally has; if I feel the interview didn't go well, then it generally hasn't. The latter is rarer than the former.

How would you guess outcome of the interview will be?

Quite simply, if they leave the interview with the impression that you are "better" than they are (in some fuzzy, not only technical sense (could be better looking, could be better dressed, could be brand names on your CV, could be more articulate)) then you get the job, otherwise, you fall prey to the pet prejudices of the most senior interviewer and they backwards rationalise the rejection (usually to a failure in some niche technical area that could be learned within a single day) .

The more I look at the way humans treat each other in different settings (governments, companies, interviews, dating, the playground etc), the more it all looks exactly the same.

I also dont understand this interview word. I finish a peice of work, i then call some people, find another peice of work, agree a contract. kick on.
