      ok, this is a good question I basically had the exact same problem with dating in my 20s (ironically, I understood the interviewing API, and didn't realize that the dating API is pretty similar) small threadhttps://twitter.com/justin_ki4kdy/status/1017157761854001152 …

      Replying to @MellotronsCube @MorlockP
      Virtually every interview I've had in the last decade has followed the same formula: Hiring Manager: [asks a handful of questions that are already answered on my resume] Me: [provides answers exactly as they appear on my resume] Hiring Manager: Thank you we'll be in touch.

      5/ here's a good answer: "Oh, yeah, I was recently reading Lev Grossman's The Magicians. It's a fantasy, technically, but it's really a coming-of-age book about how people navigate leaving college - where the challenges are mapped out for them - and become adults where

      6/ you have to decide FOR YOURSELF what it is you want in life. I saw it in the airport when I was travelling to Atlanta recently, and bought it on a whim, but I liked it. OK, your turn: what's the strangest book you've bought in an airport bookstore?"

      10/ If the winning move is to answer the question, go ahead and do so. But don't just start babbling like a sperg with a literal answer to the question. Figure out what you want to happen and use the question as a springboard to ACCOMPLISH THAT.

          12/ Let's assume you're an HVAC tech and the interviewer asks you "have you ever installed a QRS brand unit?" Your resume says "yes". Do you answer "yes"? Only if you're an idiot.

          15/ Question was: "have you installed a QRS?" Answer was: "I am skilled, hard working, dedicated to the mission, and get along well with people". If the other candidate answers "yes", and you say THAT, who gets the job?
