The conclusion to Penny Arcade's interview process was posted on GT today, and it was just as I expected. I won't spoil the ending for you, but I'll give you a hint; this person didn't need the job.
As I've said before, interview processes rarely bring out the real person, which, by that logic, forces you to choose among the most "real." So, in most cases, interviewers gravitate towards the people who are the most comfortable around them, and the one's who are most comfortable, generally, are ones who don't care. Maybe they already have a good job, or they have some kind of stable income beforehand, so these people have no reason to be nervous at a job interview; they don't care whether they get the job or not. It's always the same story.
So what does that tell me?
Maybe the best attitude to take during an interview is the uncaring one. Don't research the heck out of the company you're interviewing with. Don't try to impress the interviewer. Don't try to get attention. Most of all, already have a good job beforehand, so you don't look like you need the job.
Sounds simple enough, eh?
