That IS interesting. I have been known to interrupt people every now and again, but that is only when I am in the midst of a heated debate. In a work situation you must be a TEAM player, which includes shutting your trap to listen to others! Hmm. That IS interesting.

You're lucky you haven't had to go through an interview. I've only had to go through a few and most of them have been "warm" - that is, someone in the company referred me so the interviewers were predisposed to like me. I've done the usual stuff in order to prepare for interviews - some research, some asking myself the usual interview questions and then, just before the interview, I play some dance type music to Get Positive. If anything, I may as well go to an interview in a happy mood. People tend to like happy people and if they don't, well, who wants to work for them? <strong>UT:</strong> I think sometimes people are embarrassed to ask for resume help. I was a bit hesitant to ask and one friend offered and she ended up giving me lots of great advice. It was her offering that made me realize that sometimes you have to offer to review a resume. So..I've reviewed a few! I'm not an expert but I figure I'm another set of eyes. Yeah, it HAS been a while since I've written. I finally did my taxes! I'm usually a month early. Sheesh. <strong>HMTKSteve:</strong> My group has been looking for people and it's been more difficult than you'd think - that combination of technical skill and communication! I've started to really notice the "interrupters" - those people who don't allow others to finish their sentences. It's tiring and annoying! <strong>Ricardo</strong>: Well..I'm sorta back. Sorta as in I wish I had more time to write! Not to mention visit everyone! <strong>Speedy!!</strong> Yes...I'm still Ms. Q. Hehehehehee! Thanks for dropping by!

I do feel your pain on this subject. I've had to interview people for things other than jobs and it can be a real let down when the person appears to be a good fit but for one small problem.
