Very true. Of the many people who I interviewed and who ended up without an offer, not one has asked for a second shot, which would likely have been granted. It's unfortunate, because not every winning candidate wins by a landslide.

Very interesting. I once felt an interview starting to go poorly in the final stage and tried something similarly unexpected. I asked, " Honestly, what reservations do you have about hiring me." The interviewer answered, and I rebutted the three concerns. I started the next week, and it was a disaster. Then I decided to become a programmer, it was for the best.

Aren't anecdotes fun?
