interviewer: so tell me, applicant, what is your most impressive trait or ability?
interviewee: hmm
interviewee: i am able to eat A LOT of food
interviewee: like, wow.
*silence*
interviewee: but in a close second is my ability to effectively think on my feet, which helps me adapt quickly to ever-changing situations!
interviewee (to self): wow, nice save!
Interviewing is hard, especially when you tend to put your foot in your mouth. And I mean that both figuratively and literally. It’s hard to interview when you have a foot inside your mouth.
