    the best and the worse ...

    If one (not me of course) had a hypothetical interview coming up and the following questions were going to be asked.

    What has been your worst professional moment ?

    Tell me about the hardest client facing situation you have been in ?

    Can anybody give some reasonable answers which will impress ?

    I usually endevour to find a suitable quote from "The Outlaw Jose Wales" to any such queries but have drawn a blank on this one. How about a quote from "Hannibal"?

        Re: Interview Questions

        Had very similar questions just a few months ago.
        Same answer to both

          Well for fiiddly and spoidly I hazard I may answer:

          1) Professional: what is that to rank amateurs?

          2) It involves Bubba, a bar of soap and bending over.

          3) Yes! And the answer is Yes!
