    "So.. Tell me about yourself.."

    That one seem simple but is often the first question. If you nail it, it can control the outcome of the rest of the interview.

    You need a "2 minute me" where you talk about your strengths relative to the job. And obviously you want to keep it to about 2 minutes so you don't seem long winded or you also give the appearance of lack of personality.

    I think in a few years when I retire IF I decide to get a job for a few years I can imagine the questions.

    When I got my last promotion my current boss asked for my current resume.

    It was a short notice type of thing since most of us supposedly did not qualify for the job. I just kind of looked at him. He was like, No I need one today. I just laughed. Then I explained that he was 7 years old the last time I put one together.

    So can we talk to your boss two jobs ago? No, he's dead.

    I think an interview would be fun at this point in life.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    I think a big part of me getting the job was that I was practically floating on clouds when I interviewed because I was so pumped up about another opportunity in my life. Having the confidence is a very big factor when interviewing. I've bombed interviews before when the interviewers could tell that I didn't really want the job.

    I don't want to post where I work anymore, but same thing I was doing before. This place will have better health plan, and I guess they have 401K AND pension. I don't contribute to 401k anymore, and have never, nor will ever expect a pension, but for other people I imagine that is alluring.
