Well i have a job interview today and i cant sleep its in less than 9 hours.
but i am drinking tequila after taking Tylenol PM's 4 hours ago that did jack. Maybe a few questions for the hive. If i get asked what are my best and worst quality's how should i respond? If i get asked about my hobbies should i reply i like shooting stuff? This is an entry level IT job |

Worst: What is truly the weakest of your skills? Presuming you're applying for an entry level IT position something like management skills might be it. "I've had some management duties in the past but not enough to feel comfortable with it, in the future I hope to have the opportunity to hone those skills more."
Best? What do you do best? A winning qualitity, assuming you have it, (lets be honest if you lie during an interview, they're going to find out) is being a people person. A lot of IT people focus on the technology itself and not what the technology can do to help the business and the people that work for it. If you're good at making IT work for the people you've got a valueable skill. I've NEVER been asked about my hobbies but if I were I'd say cooking or petting kitties. |

Quoted:
IT field: your hobbies need to be COMPUTERS. They don't expect you to have a life in daylight, don't let them think you do!  This is what was going with besides guns and cigars I do programming for fun and web development to try and pay the bills as much as i can. |

I have only been asked about hobbies in one IT interview.
I don't like to play games and extremely blunt and to the point so questions that do not revolve around IT throw me off a bit. Quoted:
