I once had a guy apply for a job and I swear to God, he asked the very same questions, only he danced around the subjects trying not to show what he was really trying to ask without giving it away . . . anyway, I caught on, got the "gist" of where he was going and I told him he was in the final two to pick from and that I would call him on Friday.
When I called him, I told him he almost got the job, but I had to go with the other guy because he had a degree from Harvard, or Yale, or Cornell or some school like that . . . It always worked.
Today, I feel guilty about the scam, but you get real creative trying not to hurt people's feelings.
If there IS such a thing as Karma, my goose is cooked.
