[To tease people into this meme, I’m going to post the questions I’m asking myself, to give you an idea of what I’m thinking about. See the original posting of the meme for more details. I’ll post the answers in a day or two.]

Interview Meme Redux

[Meme snarfed from, oh yeah, me (cahwyguy)]

1. Ask yourself five questions that you would ask yourself if you were interviewing yourself
2. Update your LJ with the five questions answered
3. Include this explanation

And it just keeps going, and going, and going (hopefully!)

cahwyguys‘s Interview:

Questions:

1. You’re 44, about the time most guys have a mid-life crisis. Assuming there were no monetary limitations (i.e., considerations about family support), how would your mid-life crisis express itself?
2. Your postings and interests show an intense interest in musicals? How did this interest start, and what would you say is your favorite musical?
3. You’ve been very active on the Jewish internet for a long time, what with the FAQ and your reading list, as well as the web work you’ve done for congregations and UAHC. Yet, you profess to not be very spiritual. How do you reconcile this?
4. What characteristics of yourself don’t come across in Livejournal or your web presence?
5. If you had to succinctly impart some advice to your daughter to serve her in life, what would it be?
6. (Bonus Question) You’ve been given the ability to change one physical or mental characteristic of yourself, without penalty. What would it be, and why?

One More Thing

I’m also curious, for those that have done this meme, what has been your favorite question that you’ve been asked—the one that you said “Oh wow. That’s a great question!”

By now, a number of folks have done the “interview meme” going around (i.e., the one where folks ask you five questions). This (proposed) new meme is for folks that have done at least one interview.

When you requested an interview, you likely had some questions in your head you wanted to answer. You probably weren’t asked those, but instead something silly and superficial :-). Now’s your chance:

Interview Meme Redux

1. Ask yourself five questions that you would ask yourself if you were interviewing yourself.
2. Update your LJ with the five questions answered.
3. Include this explanation.

I’m currently working on the questions for myself; I’ll post those shortly (and I might even answer them).

For those that want to ask me questions, the old rules hold (slightly modified for the reverse direction):

Reverse Interview Meme

1. Leave a comment with your interview questions.
2. I’ll answer your questions, and give you five questions to answer in return.
3. You’ll update your LJ with the five questions answered.
4. You’ll include this explanation.
5. You ask other people to interview you, committing to interview them back in return.

And it just keeps going, and going, and going (hopefully!)

1. Leave a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I’ll reply and give you five questions to answer.
3. You’ll update your LJ with the five questions answered.
4. You’ll include this explanation.

I’ll also add: Let me interview you, and I’ll return the favor.
