tell them if hired, it's a pretty safe bet that 75% of your time is going to be spent talking to other people on a message board and handing out thumbs

just talk a lot about robot and gin without adding context, that pretty much sums up my job.

Best job interview advice I can give - don't do anything you've ever read that you should do in a job interview.  If you try to frame your weakness as a strength, you're not getting hired.

I figure I will post a **** ton until I get to Hof Status - then I will stop posting all together so there is less opportunity to get thumbed back down.

I thought it was the other way around that people liked to try.

"You know, if I have one real weakness, it's probably that I'm a workaholic and I just care so damn much."

Don't downplay the salary issue by giving some bigass range or claiming that it's "negotiable."  Have a number and say it.

I ask the weakness question even though I don't give a ****, just to weed these people out.
