The answer stands: you need react by taking a hard look at yourself with your eyes open to the fact that if you want to be more successful at getting jobs, you need to identify what your shortcomings are, and address them. It's pretty much guaranteed that your interaction style here shows through in an interview. It is not a good style. I am routinely involved in hiring software engineers, and occasionally we interview someone who comes across like you. They don't get the job. | |

| Aug 3, 2015 at 11:28 | comment | added | RedSonja | Having read that I would not give you a job either. Just read that over again. Would you give a job to the guy who wrote that? | |
| Aug 2, 2015 at 20:19 | comment | added | Bregalad | Then again that guy probably did not know that I removed him from my list since there is not a notification for that. And nevertheless my only regret is adding him, not removing him (whether I am right or wrong in this respect) - after all I never knew him in "real" life. | |
| Aug 2, 2015 at 20:17 | comment | added | Bregalad | I think it's pretty fun/interesting that my pretended arrogance gets blamed for not getting the job. Capitalism is based on arrogance: Companies are arrogant, all the time - if they said they sucked they would have gone bankrupt. People who leads successive carrers and have high ranked jobs usually are at least somewhat arrogant, for the most of them extremely arrogant, and that worked for them. If you say you suck hard, the company sure won't hire you! Nevertheless, I like your point and it's bizarre and interesting. Thank you very much. | |
