Event - Ways in which job interviews are like buses

Ways in which job interviews are like buses:

1. You wait ages for one, and then three come along all at once. (JAGEX, Autonomy & alphamosaic)
   
2. They're better than spending your life on the street, but sometimes you think not worth the hassle.
   
3. The ones in Cambridge should be good, and give special considerations for students, but it doesn't always work out that way.
   
4. When you get off the other end, you're at work.
   
5. One opens the door for you, and you think you're going to get on, but a better one appears from round the corner, which you try to catch, but goes past without noticing you, and you end up stuck right where you started. (Not that this has happened to me job-wise yet...)
   
6. They ask to see samples of programs you've written in C++, which have been variously unfinished, lost of disk crashes and left at home, to the extent you consider trying to write something quickly now. (OK, this hasn't happened to me on a bus yet...)
