Subject:RE: New TECHWR-L Poll Question From:"Miller, Lisa" <Lisa -dot- Miller -at- Anheuser-Busch -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 11 Dec 2000 14:47:46 -0600
One of the best answers I've ever given to an interview question went like this:
Interviewer: Please look over this documentation. What do you think are its
weaknesses?
Me: Did you write this?
Interviewer (smiling): No
We both laughed and I went on to discuss the example.
I got the job (not from this question obviously), but my co-worker (the
interviewer) and I still chuckle about this exchange.
