Bah… I hate interviews because you always have to lie. Every interview I have gone on prior to 2008 and have lied (even the slightest lie like “Yes, I love working with other people” or “I feel I have great customer service”) at I have gotten the job… every job interview I have gone to and told the truth about everything I was denied the job during the interview.

The last job interview I went on I showed up 4 hours early because I was unfamiliar with that part of the city and didn’t want to be even remotely late. I took my time at a nearby coffee house and went in about 20 minutes prior to the slated time. I met with my “interviewer” and was informed that the first meeting was not an interview but a test. If I passed the 1st test, I would then be allowed to take the 2nd test. If I passed that one I would be allowed an interview.

I took the first test, handed it in, and was told I had the best scores from the people they had tested and I “really knew [my] stuff.” I took the 2nd test and the interviewer was very impressed with my answers. I was told I would hear back in a week.

A week passed and I contacted him to ask how the search was going. He told me he’d write back later. I receive an email saying they went with someone else. I was livid. I didn’t get the fucking chance to show them my art, my resume, or my demo reel. I didn’t even get a step in the door after I “wowed” them with my tests. Bah…fuck it.
