I am starting the interview process for a freaking sweet new job on Monday with a phone interview.  Everyone cross your fingers for me.

I don't really want to jinx it by telling you all what it is... but it's the coolest job I'll have ever interviewed for.

They do phone interviews now?  Freaking sweet!

Just tell them you're from The Nintendo World Report, and you'll seal the deal.

Well I'm sure the phone interview is just a first round thing...

I was talking about McDonalds, really.  You jumped in and got in the way on that one.  Best of luck to you, I checked your various websites, and they don't mention it.

Yeah some businesses like to talk to you on the phone then screen out the dead weight, narrowing it down to those that come in and talk to them in person. Not sure what job it is, but sometimes there can be multiple interviews as you go through the process.

Maybe, but since we're in the funhouse the answer we're looking for is:

Lolipops.
Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

It's so much easier to make cute puns like that out of loli than it is with shota.  It isn't fair, I say.

Awesome, Pale, knock 'em out!

...not literally, of course... they'll have a hard time being amazed by your phone interview skills if they're unconscious.

Well, firstly, it wasn't a preliminary interview.  As I was questioned by several people on the programming team there.

It was quite tough.  We'll see what happens.

I conduct phone interviews all the time, and believe me marking them is so boring.

How long was it?
