In the B.S. Bingo feature on the JobsPage, I ask people to submit discouraging one-liners they hear in job interviews.

Monica should get a Purple Heart for this double entry:

"In a recent interview, I heard: ‘they always schedule too much time for
these things’ and ‘what I don’t understand is, why you want this job.’

" I tried to remain up-beat for the next 20 minutes, but I still don’t have
a job."

Can you top those?
