Too true!

I went through one interview process, ending with the project head, who was the hiring/firing authority, and he asked me "Why should I hire you, rather than anyone else."

I just grinned at him and gave him a reasonable answer. What I wanted to tell him, was that I was the best person he would find, and the question he should have asked was " Why I would not work for him."

I already knew by the time he asked that odious question, that I didn't want to work there. I merely treated the entire interview as a practice. And I enjoyed it, It was also very helpful for the later interview I took for the position I eventually accepted. Elsewhere, I might add.
