"Some candidates have the audacity to view the organization of an interview as being representative of the organizational capabilities of your company as a whole. They reason that finding someone to fill a role is effectively a mini-project in itself, and if you can't schedule and coordinate even a minor project like that, how could you manage a larger and more complex undertaking like a software project? These people are clearly thinking too hard and too critically. They are exactly the ones that you want to turn off."

Posted to Business by Simon Brunning at November 26, 2004 02:14 PMYou turn up for an interview, on time. You know *your* stuff. You're wearing a smart suit, tie, haircut, shiny shoes blah blah. You've read their website, you know stuff about them.
A flustered middle manager huffs into the room, calls you the wrong name and starts to read your CV whilst asking you where you see yourself in five years.
Do you walk, or do you put up with this blatant insult because you *need* a job?
