Today’s Job Advice
Get used to being asked stupid questions. Job interviews are conducted by people who either don’t interview people for a living (which means that they have never been taught what to ask) or by people who have been trained to do it (and get their questions from a book rather than think them up on their own). Either way, the questions will sound stupid, so get used to it.
