I have no interview woes, I'm normally headhunted and as such my air of confidence
Is akin to batfinks wings.

It helps put you in the driving seat, but why so many interviews?

In 2002 I was invited for an informal chat, the boss laid his cards on the table and told me they had a job opening
and threw a tempting figure at me, I didn't commit so a formal interview with him and the national operations director was arranged...cut a long story short they threw a generous offer at me but I declined as I was happy where I was This was then upped three times at an addition £3k a time....Worst fucking 6 months I ever did

I refused the second interview.

I was once (a while ago) offered a job...
...on the condition that I wrote, longhand, a short 'introduction to my family'. Once i found out the company were going to send my handwriting sample to a graphologist* I politely refused.

I've caught myself covering my shopping lists from other shoppers to hide my shameful handwriting.

There's a lot of this about!
Last year between August and December I must've done 6-7 of these psychometric tests. They ranged from 15 questions to over 100 - each came out with a broadly similar 'profile' but TBH they could have been talking about anyone who does my kind of job.
