I said "this! Interviewing, I tend to be a bad interview". Didn't get the job. Although I said that to get my current job.
Interviewing is quite possibly the stupidest way to judge for most jobs.
Hey, we are looking for a really good engineer, and to best determine how good an engineer you are, we need to see how you good you are at being an actor where the plot of the movie is bragging about yourself.

When I hire people it goes it in this order
1. Do they appear qualified from their resume ( this narrows things down), assuming their technical skills are similar
2. How strong is the recommendation from their reference ( some reading between the lines required)
3. How well do they answer the question "tell me about a time you had to resolve a conflict in a professional setting" I really press them on this one and make them be as specific as possible. What strategies did you employ, what would you have changed?
