Then I realized there was a genre problem. What exactly is a group job interview? What are the expectations? Is there supposed to be some indication to the interviewers of how the group functions as a team? Or is it simply to save time? Once I defined the genre as best I could (it was rather ill-defined even to those who arranged it), I knew how to act.Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333639250952967951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-77644087677525305622009-09-30T14:33:24.356-07:002009-09-30T14:33:24.356-07:00I love the English language and have learned lots ...I love the English language and have learned lots more of the words than most folks do. I often use the big ones when I should use the short ones. That's when my love of the English language gets in the way of clear communication.

As the California-raised son of to southerners, I can do either. That's as close to multitasking as I get - I am hindered in that pursuit by Y chromosomes.<br /><br />I'm gonna read this again ...
