Social Tip #220 - Interview With A Temp-Hire

I am not good at job interviews, but I don't think I should be. I am not interviewing to be an interviewee. One lady asked me what my five year plan was. I don't have a five year plan. I'm not totally straight with what I'm going to eat for lunch. I winged it and said, "I guess my five year plan will start with me leaving this interview and going to eat a bowl of soup. Don't worry, it won't be my first soup. I have a lot of soup experience. Once I get the job I'm just going to be walking your dogs, right? You won't be asking me questions that make me feel bad about my life decisions every time I come into work, right?"

If I had a real five year plan, I would have started it five years ago.

What about a cheese sandwich? Shouldn't you be planning to have a cheese sandwich with that?

You can work your way up to stew. I would include that in the interview.

Cheese sandwich without question.

As far as stew, I took your idea and ran with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLC5g6LTc68

Ah, you see? The interviewer knew all about the stew. At least she'll be ready for next time.

Ahhh, soup and a nice heaping side of dignity-rape.
