As usual, Brent has offered some excellent advice.  I’ll just add to it and say that I can't stress enough the importance of being totally honest when being interviewed.  “I'm confident, bold, and I’m not afraid to take risks” I told one interviewer.  “That may be the case, but would you please get out of my chair and wait outside with the other applicants until your name is called?” Finally, my name was called.  When I was asked where I see myself in five years, evidently “Firing” you” was not an acceptable answer.  She quickly moved on to the next question and asked “What would you consider to be your main weakness and strength?” “Well, my main weakness would be my issues with reality, telling what's real from what's not.” “And your main strength?” “I'm Batman.”  “Seriously, what are your strengths?” “I'm an optimist and a positive thinker.” “Can you give me an example?” “Yes, when do I start?” After that, I could see that she was clearly annoyed and her line of questioning got tougher.  “Tell me the best thing about yourself.” “I'm a glass half full type of guy.” “Ýou mean you have a positive outlook and, you're a real go-getter?” “No, I'm an alcoholic.”  We eventually finished the interview and she called someone in to show me around.  He took me out to the job and told me to grab a stool.  Evidently I misunderstood him and the toilet attendant job was given to somebody else.
