Ask Hexbear is the place to ask and answer ~~thought-provoking~~ questions.

Rules:

  1. Posts must ask a question.

  2. If the question asked is serious, answer seriously.

  3. Questions where you want to learn more about socialism are allowed, but questions in bad faith are not.

I've got one on Tuesday that looks like my best shot at a new job since I got laid off in the summer. It's with a vice president of the company and the person whose position I'm filling since she got promoted

I'm just a little weirdo, I don't know how to make them want to hire me boohoo

For my money, act surprised/taken back that they'd ask you something that doesn't let you paint yourself in a good light, answer it briefly ~~(up to and including dismissively)~~, and follow it up with a talking point.

You could even, and I'm not kidding, take a page out of DJ Khaled's book and answer that question 'they didn't believe in us like God did, but anyway, I've always been able to handle account management at blah blah company. What kind of customer interactions can members of this department expect?'
