#1 thing for me - don't ask me to be a salesperson. In relation to this post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19534772 I was recently at an interview and the interviewer was a technical guy who had recently been promoted and he had a checklist of 10-15 things he wanted to achieve in the next half year, all really good reasonable things and then he said 'Now I just want you to tell me why you are the best person to do this'.

I finally had to give up and say hey lots of people can do what you want, I can do it and I can give you a list of people who can do it, I don't understand this "best" thing you want from me?
