At yesterday's interview I had to give a presentation about the values I would bring to the role of head of IT.
I was told I had five minutes but at the actual meeting I was given ten. Which meant I could speak a bit slower.
The interview as with four people. Afterwards the HR rep apologised for the tough questions. I told her she should see me interview people.
One question asked was why did I want to work for them (a large scientific intergovernmental organisation).
I immediately confessed that I apply for any job suitable but that this job also offered things I like doing (cultural issues, process development etc.) and also that the thing they did was ... well ... sexy.
They laughed - fortunately - it would only be sexy to scientists and engineers.
