Haha, after all, every language is just made up of anagrams of English words. :laugh:

After being asked some very basic stuff about C# and SQL Server, even some basic C++ stuff, they hit me with tough ones, like, "What drives you?", "Are you a people's person? Help me understand why you said yes.", etc. My last three, sparse, interviews were more technical grillings, which I find easy. I supposed I'm just not used to this.

My conviction that I am clever enough to get a job where I never need to ask that question?

No, that would be schizophrenia, I am a People Person, singular.

My favourite question (and it was too true at the time that I left college) was " I get people from all over and universities, what makes you different coming from college?" my answer; "Nothing except 3000 less dept, better waste line, and I think for my own with hands on experience." this was for a Technical support position. I did end up getting the job :p Keep in mind the recruiters get people coming from all over with different alphabet soups, and papers yet all capable to do the job like a roll of TP. What can and could come down to is "how you fit in" to their culture and styles. are you a people person with flare, or are you just tank at getting things done ( both can be positives and bad). Soft skills are just as important as our technical. Kinda makes me want to write a code project easay on it :)
