    Give me a job. I can engineer all sorts of crap. I'm THE PARTS MASTAH!

    As for being an interviewer I haven't a clue but I heard once of a place that had a table that was only two or three inches high in their interview room. Apparently it freaks out interviewees and you can get a psychologist to tell all sorts of stuff about them by their reaction.

    Crazy.

    .logic.

    I've been to a fair few interviews over the last couple of months and one thing that can really help out both the interviewer and the interviewee is if the interviewer says at the very start of the chat
    "As you are answering my questions, I may interrupt you to ask another question, or if I pick up on some detail as you talk, I might ask you to explain it more.
    Don't take this as my opinion that what your saying is wrong, or me being very rude, just that I want to know your answers in detail."

    If the interviewer says this with a smile then the interviewee won't be able to get caught up in waffle, and the interviewer won't be concerned about interrupting to find the real answer to his/her questions.
