Thank You For Your Time

Simple questions he asked me, some of them lobbed softballs. At many I swung and missed, and at others I frankly couldn't swing in the first place.

What a waste of time! he must have thought. There's no need to take this conversation any further after those answers, he must have concluded.

So do you have any questions for me? he asked after we finished. It had only been 15 minutes or so since we started. Or anything else you want to tell me?

I hummed and hawed a bit. But frankly it would have been better if I had just said, No.

I don't expect to hear from him again, except perhaps to say Thank you for your time, but we have decided to pursue other candidates for this position.
