It’s okay to bring popcorn to the interview if you offer some to the interviewer.

I'll offer you some water when I sense your disress
I’d gladly accept it. And it’s distress. Not sure I want to work for someone who is ok misspelling such easy words and leaving it.

Then, when I take you around to show you the place, Ill offer you coffee or a beverage.
I appreciate the offer, although I don’t like coffee.

You cant be formal for 30-60 minutes?
I genuinely didn’t know a coffee was informal.

More than 100. Manage? Depends. 25 directly and potentially hundreds below them.

 don’t know, man. You consider “formal” as not being able to have a drink of water or coffee? That’s odd

but about rejecting “arbitrary standards of professionalism” that have nothing to do with whether someone can actually do the job.
I love how they put the responsibility on the corporation who only has your presentation and appearance and your answers to their questions to decide to invest thousands in you. But if the company expects you to assimilate, project a professional appearance, and prioritize your job interview it’s dystopian.

This generation will not be satisfied until they make 6 figures laying on their arse all day.

Then you don’t “show people around” when they interview.

So like when you claimed you were a physician, you are lying

It’s only 6pm and you’re already drunk. NOT GOOD

I did. Bringing their own coffee in instead of the coffee that we’re offering. Oh no!

I think it’s easier to argue that it’s a sign of being prepared to bring your own water/coffee than it is to show up with nothing.

Sharing a drink with someone seems like the epitome of formal. Is that not the reason it is offered so regularly?

What if your company offers prospects a coffee as you enter the interview? What’s that tell you about the candidate?

Typos happen

Being a lazy frick who doesn’t care to represent themselves better and fix it is the issue

Is it better to bring an 80oz Stanley?

Caffeine takes about 30-45 minutes to kick in. Caffeinate on the drive over. Bring in a standard size bottle of water if you think you're going to die in the desert during a 60 minute interview.

If it's multi-hour, bring two standard water bottles, not a 1L bottle or a Stanley.

If this halfwit is judging candidates on their coffee selection, any well-qualified professional shouldn't be "interviewing" with her anyway.



Sorry, that's just how the world works.

I believe that’s what happens. Because you are lying about everything else.
