Finish This Sentence: If Interviewing Was a Contact Sport __________

Written by Teena Rose, Resume to Referral

Sometimes, a person needs to have fun while job-searching, if for anything, to keep from going insane. =] Not long ago, I was talking with a client. He mentioned the cliche "if I can only get the interview, I can talk my way to the job offer." How we progressed from that statement, onto the topic of this blog post, is beyond me.

During that conversation we laughed as we discussed how the process would be different if interviewing were a contact sport. So, I thought it would be fun [and yes, funny] to hear the many responses people come up with when finishing one simple question:
