I have a job interview on Monday

And I think I am procrastinating 😩

I have a blank notebook in front of me that I keep looking at and pushing away.

Why can't the only interview questions be 'can you do this job' and 'do you want this job'.

I can do it, just pay me and let me show you. Why do I have to jump through these hoops and give you evidence and examples beforehand??

I teach engineering and I have my seniors write these down because often times employers will ask these questions

@helsbels make sure you have questions for them. Have them written down so you don't forget. One of the reasons people don't get hired is they don't ask questions back
