This month's issue of GQ had a surprisingly good article on interviewing advice, so support the dying industry of print media and go check it out. Yea, I'm a subscriber - I'm a gentleman and I like quarterly publications that actually come twelve times a year. The first half of the article was more radical and truthful - like they were speaking from the heart. The rest was pretty standard advice: research the company, don't lie, blah, blah, blah. We get it.
Going back to the beginning of the article, I'm going to go ahead and not only quote the author, Cecil Donahue, but illustrate the quote:
"The ensuing dialogue, when practiced by skilled professionals, may resemble an actual conversation, but it is of course a game of verbal cat and mouse in which both parties attempt to ascertain precisely the same thing - namely, where the other is located on the Psycho-Success Cartesian plane."
