As soon as someone said "you have to play a game" I would take my stuff and leave. What would happen when you actually got the job? They would feed you peanuts, and have you shufflin', smilin' and dancing for the VPs? I don't play that game. Most of the interviews I have gone on, they asked me very few questions. I guess my track record and resume' tells a lot of the story. I think the way you present your ideas, and hold a conversation is important. They make "small talk" so they can envision how you will fit in with the company. Like they asked me about "sports" although I don't like sports, I made up something like "yea, how about this stadium or something." I guess that was good because it showed I wasn't totally ignorant and was able to think on my feet. Interviews are usually mostly a sales pitch from you. You are selling yourself to them. But playing games crosses the line, I am a professional, and that is kind of degrading in my opinion.
