Reading posts from my first month of blogging I came across this:
Juggling Scarves: I'm Not Management Material
Goodness gracious me. Did I really write that? It seems that as late as January 2006 I really enjoyed my job and thought I worked for some good people. Looking at it now, I realize that the third paragraph from the bottom describes my old department.
Wow.
[Extends hand] How do you do? My name is Cleopatra, Queen of Denial.

As George struggles amid the throes of finding a new job, I wonder if that type of manager is the one writing those awful questions that make you feel inept no matter how you answer.
What was your greatest success/failure at your previous position?
What do you expect from a supervisor?
How did you get along with your last supervisor?
Blech! No matter how you answer, you're cursed.
I think there must be a book out there somewhere chock-full of these horrible questions. Like: "What's your biggest flaw?"
This one comes right to the point: "Why should we hire you?"
Ugh.
