When I interview for a job I interview the person interviewing me and try to get a feel for whether we will work well together. Good boss, bad boss On one interview I went on, when I met the two men who would be interviewing me, I met the first one and thought, "OK, so he seems like a nice man and I could work with him."

I breathe a sigh of relief when I get someones assistant on the phone or receive an email from them.

I was happy just to know how to use the computer. Finally, I asked her how she knew the answers and what was she doing to get the information? Of course before I recommend anything I try it out so I picked up the phone and it asked me what I was looking for and what city and province. I shied away from it however.
