I've been doing interviews for interns again and I interviewed someone from a university with a borderline GPA. He's at the lowest cutoff. Of course that doesn't concern me so long as I can hire the person and they do the job I want them to do.
One of the questions I ask these days is "Why should I hire you instead of any other student at your university in your program". I guess he figured since his grades are lower then many of his classmates, he was going to play with that. So he said that he actually understands the material. That he doesn't memorize it the night before to vomit it up for the exam.
Yes he used the word VOMIT. Usually people use regurgitate, since it's closer to the actual process.Either way, you shouldn't use the word VOMIT in an interview unless it was brought up by the interviewer. I figure in some fields, like janitorial, it might come up in interviews. Or even in nursing......
But when applying for an internship in an engineering company the word vomit, has really no place in the interview. I was on an empty stomach at the time and the word affected me adversely. Hell it's 2 weeks later and that's all I remember about this interview. He didn't stand out as being knowledgeable or interesting. No he stood out because he used the word VOMIT.
In case you're wondering, I actually felt nauseous after this interview.
