Trying to look busy...

Signs you did poorly in your interview.

* After you leave, you have enough time left in your parking meter to get lunch, go shopping and buy tickets for the upcoming Tony Roberts seminar.
* Interviewer asks questions like, "Are you sure you really want to work at a place like this?"
* Interviewer keeps checking his watch while you are talking.
* When you are getting up to leave, the interviewer gives you a hand shake and says, "Thanks for coming, it was nice to meet you." (as opposed to "Thanks for coming, I'll be in touch with you soon.")
* Also, "We'll let you know the outcome" is another very bad phrase to hear.
* Interviewer uses phrases such as "Well this company is ...." Pretty much anything where they emphasise this company.
* The interviewer asks if you have any experience using their own private, proprietary or in-company made software. Duh!
* After you tell the interviewer about your experience with ____, they pause from their notes and look at you like they are waiting for more.


Not surprisingly, all of these have happend to me.
