    Some people think being an interviewer is about catching someone out on obscure sh1t.

    Makes them feel them feel powerful - has no benefit to the interview process.
    Let's face it, Suity is closer to ned Productions then he is a contractor.

      In fact, Suity is definitely this guy.

      He has all the same traits. God & victim complex. This is where your lesson should start Suity.

        I don't want to fuel the suity/victim fire but this has a ring of truth in it, indicating that contrary to the OP's beliefs that he is the only 'victim', this is just life.

        There are only 3 questions that need satisfying; is the applicant competent, reliable and do they fit in? The old adage IMO is still sort of true, they know if they want you within the first 5 minutes but I think it is better to say they know if they don't want you in the first 5 minutes, so it would be better if they were honest at that point and said 'Next!'.

          No, you need to grow a personality and drop the habitual, incessant lying.

          Take this current tale of woe, the second in this thread is no more realistic or believable than the first, the faked paranoia is ludicrous.

          It's quite clear that you think it's "fun" to make up these absurd situations to spark posts and attract enough responses pointing out just how much of a pointless twat you are that you can write yet another of your "flounce for good" posts. At which point you hide behind a few sockies until people post wondering where you are. It's a tedious cycle and very predictable.

              Welcome back mate, missed your posts <---manly
              Cheers bud.

              All true. Every bit. Added bonus it's got TykeTwerp foaming at the mouth which is quite entertaining.

              Some very good advice dotted about between the relentless Mickey taking. I feel I have a bit more perspective.

              Think I'm still a bit Knackered from all the traveling.

              Better take some more bench time before throwing myself back into the fray. I must master the art of tandoor cooking!

                ClientCo appear to have adopted this interview technique for their permie roles, where they do exactly this - walk through the CV in great detail from education onwards. Interviews take 2-3 hours.

                Part of the plan to only recruit A-players apparently.

                  I do think there is a part of the interview process where the interviewer is supposed to sell it a bit. Both the company and the project.

                  This just bringing someone in to check their fillings is actually just supremely arrogant.

                      You're right. This whole expecting the most basic manners is just so last millennium.

                      I'd better just lube up and join the centipede.
