I had an interview in Brussels this week and the buggers sprung a group
exercise where the 5 candidates had to work together to produce a
business case in about 75 minutes.

I wasn't calm.

 

It wasn't too bad as they had forewarned that there was an "additional
exercise" and it didn't take Einstein to figure out the likely
possibilities.

Overall, it probably worked in my favour as, from the off, 3 of the 5
jumped straight into the techie weeds and had to be dragged back out by
the other 2 of us.

 

Surely you mean Hermetite or whatever the spelling was?

 

Things have calmed down at work now most of the power stations are up
and running so give me a shout if you decide to break it and want a
hand at some time in the future.

I'm pretty much the same. If an employer starts pulling stunts in an
interview I just up and leave. I won't work for cunts.

I've rejected a 2nd interview invitation because the guy I was going to be
working for was a David Brent-style knob who seemed to specialise in
bone-crusher handshakes. He was squeezing so hard that our palms weren't
touching. I was just back from wrestling the Ural to Chimay, so I wasn't
that bothered, but I didn't want to work for a knob.

 

One of the old "textbook" things to throw at sales reps at interview
was to say words along the lines of "so you're a salesman eh, well
here, sell me this" usually followed by being handed a biro.

"Looks like a ballpoint suppository to me, you work out where it goes,
bye".

Too much time to think, too little to do.
