Giggles is not exactly the right word. I didn't make it just to see if I could pass or take a piss at someone.

I don't think anything is a better practice than an actual interview. Doing a rehearsal or workshops won't compare.

But thanks for the insult, random stranger.

Besides, if that was your only take away from my comment, I think you may have missed the main point. Maybe you were too infuriated by that point already.

And I think that when it comes to cumulative time-wasting, the culprit is usually more the interviewer (or the incompetent recruiting agency).

Also, would be interested in having data on the "most normal people don't do this" bit. I know plenty who do or did at some point, across several countries.
