I’ve been prepping for an important telephone interview for the last few days. Today, in a last minute attempt to get just a little bit more of an edge, I found a book on interviewing called Job Interviews That Mean Business. I flipped through the entire book to get a feel for the best place to start, that is, until I came to Chapter 9. Chapter 9 was called, and I kid you not, “Sex and the Interview.” What?! A flurry of questions came to mind: Does this happen enough to write a chapter in an interview book about it? If this does happen, will it help or hurt my chances of landing the job? Is there a special room that you conduct this type of interview? Not knowing that this is a possibility, is this why everyone else I know doesn’t stress about interviews? I’m pretty sure this doesn’t happen, but somebody please tell me if it does. Remember you can leave an anonymous reply in the comment section below.
But in all seriousness, you can call me old school if you want, but under no circumstances will I try to get sexy with an interviewer. That seems totally inappropriate on so many levels that I wouldn’t know where to start. Unless that’s a skill that is applicable to the tasks I’ll be performing on the job, it’s not going to happen. Uh uh, no way.
