		<description>I'm so happy our brainstorming session led to a fun blog post.  

You know what this topic reminds me of?  When Homer is being interviewed for a job at the power plant and they ask him what his biggest weaknesses are.  He says (paraphrase):

"Well, I don't learn very quickly. . .

And when things start disappearing from the office I'm usually the guy you'll want to look for."  

Absolutely Brilliant.  That could be another helpful tip for the seminar:  don't steal shit during the interview.</description>

		<description>Sadly enough, I found all of them incredibly useful.

1) Going to a public high school in Iowa, we didn't bother discussing the college application interview. If you're in the top fifty percent of your high school class, you are (or, were until recently) automatically accepted to all of the state schools.

2) Knowing that I was going to grad school after college, my profs and career services department didn't bother me with the interviewing stuff.

If it weren't for those classes, I'd probably still say howdy when introducing myself and eat a lot of "forkable" foods with my bare hands. I (would like to pretend to) think that there are other people in the BLB who are/were on the same boat as me . . .

Regardless, if you have found the classes useless thus far, I wouldn't recommend OCI Boot Camp.</description>

		<description>If both the interviewer and the interviewee are males, bare your teeth so that there is no doubt that you are the dominant male.  If you are female and the interviewer is male, you should "present," out of respect.  I'm pretty sure Karen Klouda told me that at one point.</description>
