Interviews are a test of cultural fit, among other things. Everyone knows you don't wear headphones in an interview. Everyone knows you don't ask salary until AFTER the offer. You're FREE to do whatever you want. ...and if you want to flub the interview by breaking norms: ok.https://twitter.com/danblackroyd/status/1016849903962632193 …

2/ ...and if you want to tank an interview by not following the script AND blame it on them for being racist, you're also free to do that. Of course, you don't get a job offer that way. Do as you will.https://twitter.com/danblackroyd/status/1016847967733469185 …

[kie.ran] @danblackroydI met with the head of the company. He clearly wasn’t expecting a Black person. He asked me all kinds of questions I know he didn’t ask other applicants, including who founded the company. I know this b/c the hiring manager looked visibly surprised by the line of questioning.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 13 likesShow this thread -
3/ I'm a conservative-Catholic ancap who likes to shoot guns. Yet I somehow manage to get through interviews without bringing up that abortion is bad, full auto-guns are good, and the current pope is a communist. I do this because I realize THE SCRIPT I'M EXPECTED TO READ.

4/ Why do companies expect you to demonstrate your ability to read a script? Because script-reading is part of the job. They don't want employees who roll-their-own approaches to customer service ("what up, bitch?") or to interacting with other employees ("I don't *DO* pants")
