quick APA blogging

had my first job interview, here is the post mortem

Q1: Did the candidate appear relaxed and comfortable: 5

(1 = stammering only interrupted by vomiting; 10 = left with interviewers home phone numbers and an invitation to go dancing)
Q2: Did the candidate answer all questions completely and cogently: 8

(1 = all answers monosyllabic and about football; 10 = all answers ready to be published in a peer reviewed journal)

Q3: Did the candidate blurt out the truth when he really should have evaded: 5

(Among the blurts: "How did you wind up with the research program you have?" "Well, time and chance really. I couldn't get my dissertation published, and I landed this gig teaching medical ethics."
