✦ AUGHTY ✦ The Job Interview 4 THE INTERVIEW ROOM. INTERVIEWER 1 So — tell us a bit about yourself. Which part of myself? How much detail is appropriate? Skills question or values question? What do they already know from my CV? What does "a bit" mean, exactly? AUGHTY Could you be more specific? Which part of myself? INTERVIEWER 2 Just… whatever you'd like us to know. That is genuinely the least useful answer to my question. The question had infinite scope. So does the answer. AUGHTY I am very good at the job. I will do it with more precision and commitment than most people you will interview today. I will be on time. I will be honest. The work will be correct. That is what I would like you to know. I1: Is that… allowed? I2: I don't know. I've never seen anyone do it. I didn't get the job. The person who got it was "a real people person." They left after four months.
The position is open again. I know because I still follow the listing.
