I <3 Quasi.

This Dbag doesn't seem to recognize his haughty condescending nature.

I like how TZK sizes up the interviewer as intellectually inferior so quickly... yea, sure, that's it, Sherlock. Wait, they are the one with the job and saying "no" to you. I'd think the only concrete evidence of stupidity would be them hiring you.

I can see me going to clients bringing some d*ckshrub that tries to posture his brilliance with every sentence. Wouln't that be a fun lunch? Look at me, I'm the king PF CHANGS!!!

Quasi summed it up when he said you act like a douch bag. Additionally, you are completely unable to consider any criticism or even acknowledge your mistakes.

Additionally, though your mind is supposedly so organized that you effortlessly spew forth flawless reasonings, you keep editing and changing your posts (though not correcting spelling and grammatical errors).

TZK, I haven't been aware of your existence but for a couple of hours, and I already know for a certainty I never want to work with you at any level. It's not a leap of logic to translate that into reasons interviewers do not respond positively to you.

In the context of this whole thread of your delusions and self-aggrandizement, I wonder whether your department is really closing, or whether this is just a mental construct hastily erected to bridge the vast chasm of incomprehensibility that nobody wants YOU.

I just figured TZK was mad because he'd have to 'go advanced' to correct "your" in the thread title.

Honestly, this thread almost seems too easy. Knocking down TZK is like shooting fish in a barrel, there's almost no challenge he's so ridiculous. I keep thinking of retorts to his comments, and then remember the rest of us are all in total agreement.

Still, don't let me stop the fun, this is still quite entertaining

This is way too long to bother reading so I think I know the problem.

Interviewer: "Hi, how are you?"

TZK : "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."

Interviewer: "Thank you for your interest, we'll let you know."
