The company I'm applying for does lots of stuff related to football. They just want to find out if I'll fit in, although to be honest, if they're that into football, I may not feel like I fit in.

I've found that when working for an office-based job, I often went out drinking or doing some other outside-work activity with my colleagues. In a creative line of work, team-bonding is desired. Ideally, we don't want to be a bunch of drones who work from 9-5 (but in practice, we often feel this way).

BTW: if you're still feeling I'm being a bit too enigmatic, Gaz me for more details.

@ancrenne: Asking if you had a boyfriend is taking things too far, but asking if you're a sociable person does help paint a picture about the sort of person that you are. But I agree, ability to do the job should be the foremost consideration, but I've seen or heard of many examples where this isn't the case.

@BobFossil: See a few posts above for my link to a top-tip. But the 'on puropuse' thing doesn't always work - if it did, there'd be no damned kids in fireman-uniforms invading my dreams.
