What was the most difficult question?

"The most daunting was "Explain your driving infraction..." followed by "Does alcohol ever cause you to miss work?" I was a bit thrown by the abruptness of the question and just hope that he recognized the sincerity of my remorse and the truth that it was a one-time mistake, an irresponsible decision that has never and will never be repeated. For those that don't realize it, it is exceedingly easy to reach an 0.08 without feeling impaired or knowing rationally that you should be over the limit. Bottom line, don't have any amount of alcohol, not even a single drink, if you will be driving." Report Response | I was asked this question too

Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"I had a daunting interview session and left exhausted and not wanting to answer the "how did it go" question at all. Was pretty intimidating. But it's done; I just hope I get in.
