When interviewing with a bunch of folk who make their living looking people up on the internet, it’s a good idea to remember that they’ll probably look you up on the internet, too.

And discover that you’ve been blogging about them.

Not the most kosher career move on my part, perhaps, but I have been giggling about it ever since, anyway.  

It was my own online people-tracking skills that enabled me to catch them at it, too, so we’ve sort of got a “Spy V Spy” scenario going on here.  And Damn, We’re Good!

Speaking of being freaky, a big hat-tip to Kathy, who sent me a link to an article published yesterday by CNN, Weird tactics can sometimes get you the job.  The article is terrific, but not as terrific as Kathy, who notes:

This reminded me of my sister who interviewed three times for vet school, failing the first two times because her interview went poorly. She came to Joe and me for a mock interview; my first question was, “Why do you want to be a vet?” She mumbled about loving animals. True but trite. I suggested she consider saying, “The last time I had my arm up a cow butt (she did do this as a veterinary asst.), I realized that not everyone would love this, but I did.”  She got in.
