# ^ this
honesty best policy

i once went to one just after a flood had attacked my portfolio (back in the days when you showed the printed versions) - half the pages were missing/ruined, so i spent the interview saying 'now here was a rather lovely logo done for a clothing firm, looked a bit like...' then using a marker pen and whiteboard.

didn't get the job, somebody better did, but they phoned back to say they were very impressed with my bluffing skills, and was i interested in account management. i wasn't ;)

# =D
I managed to bluff my way through an interview by demoing a website that I hadn't made yet. I claimed that I hadn't been able to afford the hosting for the last few weeks but I'll email a copy after the interview.

I then went home and made it exactly how we talked about and got the job \o/

# more of the same?
I wasn't aware I contained any hummus. I think I'm mostly starch based

# I Think I'd given up on the interview by about halfway
I was kinda dejected after not getting the previous job I applied for so I just took the attitude of "whatever you want"
