I actually got asked how many elevators are in the U.S. once when I was interviewing to become an advertising copywriter for Otis Elevators. While I did answer the question correctly (it’s 900,000) they didn’t seem to appreciate the tagline I came up with: “Otis Elevators, they’ll never let you down.” 😬

[@Indeed]

Ok but we LOVE that tagline 😂 Thanks so much for sharing!

What I learned about job interviews is that your chances of getting the job are just a matter of saying the right things. There were certain jobs that I got, I didn't have to say that much and I still got the job. Then there were other interviews, it didn't matter what I said, I was not going to get the job.

"I don't feel like I can answer that question because it's not relevant to my experience"

She could play Megan Markle in a movie.

[@bmoshareholderappleshareho855]

She's way more beautiful than Megan Markle.

[@Whatdisaypt1and2]

But Megan Markle is an actress and this woman is not so why not just have Megan Markle play herself?

[@demencionrx]

So beautiful.....
