You can just explain to them that, whilst you are interested in the job (if you are, of course), you need some time to consider your decision (A day or so normally).

A company that isnt prepared to give you time to ensure that they are the best choice for you, almost certainly isnt
Agreed. I'd not take any longer than a couple of days, though. Business must go on with or without you, ya know?

So many great advices.

I have to say though that they depress me. They just confirm my fears that what you know doesn't seem to be the most important thing, but rather how you talk, sit, and present yourself.

I probably need to work on some body language/presentation exams rather than technical ones *sad laugh*

Well it isn’t much point in being a technical genius if you can’t explain to a user how to add a printer or something like that.


Me: You need to buy a couple of servers.
Customer: Whats wrong with the servers I have?
Me: Well, you dont have *any* servers just now.
Customer: WTF! I thought I did!
