Omnipotent,
It would be a lot easier to take some of this critisism on board if the posters would back up their accusations with some facts and evidence, rather than just dropping some negative comments without backing them up.
It is very easy to say 'listen carefully' and 'ask questions', without letting on what to listen for and which questions to ask.
And reading badapple's post, I would be more inclined to think that he either failed the interview or missed out on the interview altogether.
Ofcourse if he cares to elaborate a bit more, maybe that could possible change how I think of him.
So either give some solid information, or don't bother posting at all.
Cheers!
