I should write my own little stories about the many many people who lost out on interviews with me over my career. And balance those with stories about the several who won my respect in interviews, despite several apparent impediments (apparent to others). Randy: Silly man, he.

My boss interviewed a guy who's firm did some geotech work on a freeway traffic interchange. There were some pretty poor soils, so the firm hired us to design a ground improvement scheme as that design was a little over their heads. Later on in an informal interview, this guy talked about how he knew how to do ground improvement design and how he had designed it on this particular project. My boss reminded him that our firm did that work and he promptly and clumsily backpedaled. But it was clearly too late for him to have any chance with our firm!
