Nothing is more draining than going on a job interview. All that talking about yourself and trying to formulate interesting sentences in your head before you actually say them out loud.Lots of smiling is involved. And eye contact. There must be eye contact...and handshaking.
It's like going on a first date without dinner or a movie or the possibility of getting a good night kiss.
Instead it's you and some stranger inside a cramped conference room trying to "get to know more about one another."
You bullshit. You exaggerate. You try not to say "um" too much.
They ask you questions about your "goals" and your "ability to work in a team."
After an hour of interrogation you exchange pleasantries.
"Thanks for meeting with me."
"We'll will be in touch."
And most of the time both of those sentences are just LIES!

It's true. The whole time both parties are busy covering up their inadaquacies (is that spelled right? I don't think so - see there's one)and hoping you sold that line of bullshit with conviction. It's all crap. If we could go in and just be totally upfront with one another, we'd all be SO much better off.
