Stupid Things Interviewees Have Said to Me

<p>Congratulations on your acceptance to Yale! My son is very happy there (much happier than my daughter at that other college)</p>

<p>BTW: no, my kids are not pretentious snobs – sorry, if that’s the impression you got. Maybe you missed my previous post: [How</a> Do I Talk About My Biggest Failure In An Interview?](<a href=“http://www.blurtit.com/q848923.html]How”>http://www.blurtit.com/q848923.html)</p>

<p>“When children grow up in a loving and caring family, a family that is supportive, a family, in which everyone helps everyone else to achieve their goals, big failures do not always happen to them.”</p>

<p>My daughter (and son) were able to talk about their little mistakes, but their responses did not satisfy the interviewer who kept pressing “Come on, you must have made a huge mistake in your life.”</p>
