Gravatar Your second answer made me laugh, though I haven't decided if I find this sad or not. Both, I guess.


Gravatar Hmm, would they not notice the pregnancy? I mean, no, they can't ask, but in terms of noticing it's not like when you were three or four months along, right?


Gravatar Aurelia: I wore a slightly-large shirt and you really couldn't tell! I've only gained 12 pounds so I just look a little fat at this point. Fortunately for me.


Gravatar Yes, getting a PhD comes with automatic skin-thickening. Doesn't everyone know that???

Or was this a trick question? The possible subtext could be that you're going to have to work with someone that everyone else thinks is a total asshole?

Hmm. Let's not dwell on that possibility.

Or was it just a sexist question, like they're asking to see if you'll burst into tears??

Hmm. Let's hope not.

Five things you're not? Yikes. That is a hard one. For you I'd include "inarticulate, humorless..."



Good luck, though. It's always nice to have options. Worry about the rest of it later.


Gravatar Once they've offered you the job (if they do) you're in a strong position, because of the psychology of job searches.

They've put a fair bit of work into the search and the decision process, and now that they've made their decision they really DON'T WANT to have to go back and reconsider the other candidates. They'd much rather find a way to persuade you to accept their offer.
