The most memorable candidate for me was a negative. Years ago, we were interviewing a candidate for an entry level call center agent position. When asked how she maintained a positive outlook in an environment with a variety of personalities, her response was, "Sometimes I feel better if I throw things." I was so mentally staggered by her answer that I didn't hear much else she said. I do vaguely recall her mentioning a stapler, though. Obviously, it was an automatic no.

example of how honesty isn't always the best policy lol

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?
