In 2008 while doing interviews, I had a lady ask me as the final question: - Do you play any instrument? Say the trumpet, the piano... anything? I did play the guitar all my life. - No, I don't. - Anyone on your family have that "knack" for instruments? Something-something art? - No mam. Of course I was turned down. One thing that I can say about these bullshit questions though, is that to maximize chances, you can go ahead and try to be fun. No funny. Fun. "Yes, I worked with home-automation, had some clients, I did everything from business to coding..." instead you can do "That was a time in my life that I really excited about. You ever had one of those situations where you jump out of bed an you just wanna get to work? Man those were the days... so, home-automation..." Sucks as an introvert to put with stuff like this, but it only takes an hour, and it's six figures later on.
