Interviews

[hyperD]

Yeah 20 seconds of witnessing another human for the first time in an unnatural situation is enough to make a informed opinion of someone.

Hate to grate your ingrained fairness gene, but sadly, it appears to be the way we humans operate in the real world.

My first job my soon to be boss asked what I would do if I caught her defrauding the organisation. For an internal audit job it was not a joke, or a trick question

I imagine the correct answer would be "Demand 40% of the take or I go to the boss?"

Nope anything along the lines of with regret report your concerns to a higher authority. Though I did wonder if she was on the take at the interview.

I was once asked to gather evidence to catch a co-worker who was a thief, so I would probably relate my experience of that.

Have to be absolutely sure of the facts, double check, don't throw false accusations around etc.

So did you get the gig or not and was the rate what you wanted?

What is a sockie?

Short for sock puppet, it even has it's own Wiki entry

A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception. The term—a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from a sock—originally referred to a false identity assumed by a member of an internet community who spoke to, or about himself while pretending to be another person.[1] The term now includes other uses of misleading online identities, such as those created to praise, defend or support a third party or organization,[2] or to circumvent a suspension or ban from a website. A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym[3] and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer. Many online communities have a policy of blocking sockpuppets.

If any of those charges are leveled at me, then they should be leveled at everyone here. I have not lied or deceived anyone about who I am.

+1 Proggy is not a sockie. He is a one account person (.... Russell,LatteLiberal, Proggy) until the account is banned and he joins again.

Ooh. a bit touchy on that subject are we?

I was not accusing you of that.

I find second rounds harder when you had to actually do some digging to find out about them.

Only once been asked to do a second round interview - but by then I'd accepted another gig - wouldn't have done one anyway as I figure if they can't decide on the basis of one meeting then they are either too nervous collectively to make a decision or just fannying around wasting everyone's time - either one is not a company I'd enjoy working with
