Part of Andrew Dice Clay’s act was spotting a couple in the front row and asking the guy, “First time you two were together, was she any good?”

Of course, the guy would smile and nod.

Then he’d ask, “Well, how do you think your little princess got that way?”

A while back I messed up a phone interview. The guy asked me a question and I blanked. I guess I was so nervous about getting the job, I screwed it up. On my next job interview, I practiced. I had everything the guy could possibly ask me written out on my computer since it was also taking place over the phone. I nailed it because I was getting better at being unemployed.

So, when someone nails an interview, they may not be the best person for the job. They may have just spent more time out of work, more time getting fired and more time learning how to interview.
They may just be the best at telling you what you want to hear.
