dolariThe interview went badly.
I got there with plenty f time to spare, but ended up being late because the security guard couldn't find the person I was supposed to meet with. the interview was 5 minutes of technical questions, which of course, I aced.
The rest was an intense interrogation as to why I have so many jobs on my resume, and haven't kept with them longer than 6 months. Basically, I told him this last time was a layoff, the Harte Hanks thing was a contract that ended, the Dell one before was a layoff, the Kinko's one was actually a year spread across two six month jobs in two areas, Zenith was a layoff.
I got the idea that he wasn't impressed. A sort of "You have an answer for everything, don't you" feeling.
Then he dug into Harte Hanks. Why were you there only for a month? Why was the contract terminated? What did they do to end it...he just dug in untiil he got the answer: "It was an issue of descrimination that had an EEOC and OSHA filing."
At that moment the interview ended. It went on a few more minutes, but at that moment it was over. First time I've ever left an interview going "I wasn't gonna get that job if I was the Pope."
And the clincher? After all the questions as to why I can't keep a job? If I was hired, I'd be out of a job by the end of December.
