Comments from interviewers:

"We don't have managers in this company."

"We don't know what operating system we'll be using, what platform we'll be
using or when we'll start programming for it. Does this sound like something
you would want to be a part of?"

"Maybe you chose the wrong major."

"I see from your resume that you were in the Weightlifting Club and a member
of the Escort Service. Looking at your resume we thought you were a
Chippendale's dancer. I can see we were wrong."
