Just had a job interview and got asked what are 3 CDs you've currently got in your car.

I said
Scroobius Pip - Angles
Ian Brown - The World Is Yours
Led Zepplin - Mothership

What this has to do with the IT Security job I was interviewing for I've no idea but do you rekon I've got the job?

One of them is a greatest hits album. This means you are an 8 year old girl and have failed the test.

I know but junior bought it me for Christmas and insists on "the drumming tune" (rock and roll) every time he gets in the car. Which I told them in the vain hope I sound like a caring responsible parent type.

Fecking weird question though.

Being an IT job I think they were after something more upto date.

I knew a chick who went for an accounting job with Hot Press - an Irish Music magazine. It is a deeply serious paper and sees itself as the Irish Rolling Stone. She was interviewed by the founder and editor and his sidekick and thought they were creeps staight away and didn't want to work for them.

At the end of the interview, he asked her what her favoutite albums were.

She replied "I like Hits '98". When she saw the horrified expressions on their faces she added "I also like Hits 1999".

She didn't get the job.

No wonder unlike I Like Hits 98, I Like Hits 1999 is bollocks, that's where she failed.

That Danlesac vs Scoobius Pip album is quality. One of my favourites of the year.

It certainly is but it drew blank looks from the interview panel, I had to spell out his name so one of them could google it, still they should remember me.

I put in my cv that I like to read. I was asked at an interview what was the last book I had read. I replied Breakfast at Tiffanys.

My mother said they would think I was a bender and wouldn't give me the job.

God job I hadn't said the Turner Diaries, Mein Kampf or said I was enthusiastic fan of de Sade.

How old were the interviewers? I wonder what information they're hoping to glean by asking that?

Two were mid to late 40's the other about 35, not got a clue what they were trying to get out of the question. Maybe they were trying to catch the unwary nutter who would blurt out Abu Hamza's latest spoken word CD.

It was a thinly veiled attempt at trying to wield authority over you.......he asked because he could.



I'd have told him to fuck off..........

Probably, it put me right on the spot, definately out of the 80's how to interview handbook.

I've faced some twats at interviews over the years. One idiot stood up at his desk and wagged his finger at me and said he didn't allow unions at his company. I told him I was a member of the IBOA - a large banking union who were in the news at the time threatening a national strike that would have shut down the entire Irish banking system.

I didn't get the job.

I've had a few interviews recently and some where cringe worthy, one for the NHS was shocking the bloke kept harping on about about the amazing system he had designed and was well put out because I knew nothing about it, how the fuck would I? The rest have been all "competency based" bollocks, "Give an example where you have contributed to the development of a team" blah de blah.

The last interview i had was 10 years ago at royalmail . the bloke who interviewed me was 20 odd stone and looked like jabba the hut. his first question was how do you keep yourself fit. i thought he was taking the piss. there was a woman in the interview with us taking notes and she was biting her lip . how i kept my face straight i will never no.

Conker, Mr Pip is an exceptional lyricist. Excellent album. Should be up for the mercury actually.
