Ever had an interview where you felt like they’d already made up their mind before you walked in? Maybe the job is going to an internal candidate, but I was made to feel like I was wasting their time and I’ve never had a shorter and weirder interview. I don’t think they were even listening to my responses.

Sometimes they have to interview a few from outside even if they have someone picked already. Don't let it get you down. Have fun with it or use it as practice. I know I sometimes get forgetful on what I've done so those are fun. I purposely give dumb answers are ask: "Are you kidding me?" When they ask some dumb gotcha question.

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
