Re: Job Questions

I'm not sure if it isn't a tad off-topic but I've always found i.e. without exception, that the best jobs I've taken - whether perm or contract - have been those where the interviewer(s) spend as much time 'selling' the company as giving me the 3rd degree.

The two instances where the interview was all about the 3rd degree were jobs I wished I'd never accepted and left both after less than 6 months - since when the above maxim has worked fine ... for me anyway:-)

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
