TBIN May Interview Questions

A few weeks ago I had an interview that started with:

How would you describe yourself?

That’s a standard question, right? Well, I hate it. I hate questions. Actually, I hate questions about myself. I’ve spent my entire life deflecting them as if I was on my best moves in a boxing fight.

Here’s the honest answer to the opening question:

I don’t describe myself.

I know, it seems rude. But it’s true. I always try to know more about the person who’s questioning me before unveiling who I am. Apart from when I’m writing. That’s the only way of knowing something personal about me if you’re not among my strictest friends.

Yesterday, while I was walking back home, Medium served me Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她)’s recap of the May interviews in The Brain is a Noodle. I read some of them and they just felt so cute that I decided to give it a try.

I mean, even if a question punches you in the face, it can’t hurt that bad, right?
