Good advice, CrossCheck.

It's been said before, but job interviews should be as much about the applicant determining if s/he wants to work for a company as they are about the company deciding if they want to hire the applicant.

It's easy to be so focused on getting the job and perceived career progression opportunities that you forget to actually analyze whether you truly WANT the job. Kinda like a dog chasing a car. Have you ever seen what happens when the dog actually CATCHES the car? They stand there yipping and turning in circles not knowing what to make of their newest accomplishment. Their little doggy brain is probably running a mile a minute trying to remember why they were so excited in the pursuit and what, in particular, made this such an all-encompassing goal.

Not unlike many F9 newhires!
