Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was hardly an interview. She didn't ask me any questions and spoke with such economy of language as to be rude. She sat in her chair with a very smug expression. I tried to engage conversational about the trade, and gemology. Top tip: If you're over 40 be prepared for some agist bias. The glimpse the interviewer afforded me for the moments I spent with her were clues into the culture there.
