Do what I do. Just accept it, let them fly you in, enjoy a day of a nice hotel and some interviews. I'm not particularly serious about accepting, but they don't seem serious about listening to me so, hell, I just gave up and enjoy the ride.
Make sure you keep your receipts and bill them, though. Eat out at a nice restaurant!
And if you flub the interviews, who cares. It's great practice.
- jcadam 10y agoI've discovered my secret to doing well on interviews is to not give a shit. No idea why it works.
- otakucode 10y agoIn-person interactions inherently come with a litany of drawbacks due to the fact that we're human beings. One of them is that confidence makes you look better than nervousness or any kind of desire (certainly better than desperation). That's regardless of your skills. Other irrelevant things like how tall you are, how symmetric your face and dress is, how charismatic you are, etc all take precedence. Even if you're aware of these flaws in yourself, and attempt to compensate for them, you will fail. Not giving a shit would be a great strategy. As would being tall.
- jcadam 10y agoMy problem is I don't have much control over it. If you're interviewing me, and I'm doing exceptionally well, it most likely means I do not care if you offer me a job or not. This of course means that I've only held jobs I wasn't particularly interested in. Well, at least at the time I interviewed for them -- some have turned out better than expected :)
