by Nate Voss, (7 comments)

A quick six-and-a-halfsie minute show filled with censored profanity and horror stories of bad job interviews to follow-up last week’s How to Hire A Designer podcast. Steve Gordon, Donovan and I reach near unprecidented levels of crazy in a surprisingly short amount of time. Enjoy.

I personally find the kazoo blowing to be a little bit offensive.

Ugh, don’t tell me horror stories now, I just quit my job! I too have had my share of nasty interviews — I can recall a case where this principal of a small design studio was so unimpressed with me I actually thought of asking “Should I continue?”. But then again, I’ve been on the other end where I’ve thought “I wouldn’t work here for a million dollars a year”.

Onwards and upwards, I suppose.

Always onwards and upwards, Prescott. Always!

Uh think you could turn the blow dryer off in the background? Sheesh! Is this story about sucking or blowing?

You guys don’t have a clean tag who cares if you swear in the podcast? No FCC interference last I checked. Sounds like a super cool place to work though.

Oh MAN! Was this a fun one! To quotemy good pal Ron Burgundy, “That escalated quickly… I mean that really got out of hand fast!”

Hah, c*ck sucker test cracked me up. When I interviewed for a tech support job back in college, I was asked how I felt about gay porn, because they had ‘gay porn Tuesdays’.

Caught me off guard, but I rolled with it and got the job. It was their way of making sure that people there all had the same sense of humor / weren’t easily offended. The owner is now one of my best friends.
