Are they giving you the "what kind of team player are you" question? Or something like that?

sometimes it is not just the words you say, but the way you say them. and your enthusiasm.

for example, a year ago. went to a job interview. 2 interviewers and 5 applicants. the interviewers took turns asking applicants questions.

one applicant had the nerve to speak out of turn.

the interviewers could have looked at that as being social and passionate. (favorable). :twisted: or as being disobedient. (unfavorable).

likewise, vocal inflection, word choice. eye contact. body language. so many subtleties. too many for autistics to pick up.

Why do people post things like this seemingly wanting advice or at least understanding never to be seen again.

he/she/they might not want to respond to any specific answer.

maybe all the answers he/she/they got, he/she/they did not like or want.
