Honest Interviewer

[Ste11aeres]

I went to an interview today.
Surprisingly, the interviewer told me exactly what she thought of me (she liked me) and also what gave her doubt (lack of experience in this type of position.)
Now if I don't get hired, I will know why, and won't spend days wondering what I did wrong.
That kind of openness is rare and refreshing. (sunglasses represent "cool" which is connected with "refreshing" (like a cool(cold) drink is refreshing) Or like how people wear sunglasses to a refreshing day at the beach...I had to make do with the closest to refreshing icon I could.)

Well I hope you get it.

That is pretty rare. That should make it easier when its all up front like that. I can't stand these games interviewers usually play where they make you think they liked you, never really said it, and then you don't get the job. I asked one interviewer after he told me a week later that I didn't get the job what would've made me a better candidate. He said he'd let me know the next day but never did. That kind of openness is rare that you experienced. I do hope it works out.

Do not tell me the same story 'you do not have the skills, you do not have enough experience. you have autism and we do not have enough resources to support you'. (Indeed, I even think the ADA may have discouraged both employers and employees with autism to have employment in Aspies/people with autism - more on that another day).

If we are 'hired', we'd be talking about salary range and job scope - not 'have a nice day'.

I do interviews because I want to give myself a shot at my goal - gainful employment. I do not expect to be 'hired', though it is my goal. I expect to do things that bring me closer to bring my gifts to other people.
