😃 So, I walk into my first-ever job interview, already sweating like I just ran a marathon. The hiring manager looks at my resume, then at me, then back at the resume like it’s personally offended him.
First question: “What’s your biggest strength?”
Me, trying to sound impressive: “I, uh… adapt really well to any situation.”
Next question: “What’s your biggest weakness?”
Me, panicking: “…adapting too much?”
At this point, I knew I was doomed. But then, halfway through my verbal self-destruction, the manager’s laptop crashes. Instinct kicks in - I ask if I can try fixing it. Five minutes of tech support magic later, it’s back up and running. The guy looks at me, nods, and says, “Well, you clearly problem-solve under pressure. When can you start?”
Moral of the story? Sometimes dumb confidence and quick thinking can save your career before it even starts. If you ever need job interview tips, just remember - fixing a laptop might just do the trick.
