Hi Christine,
I have always tried to make the Interviewer feel its Ok to ask me any question
about my CP, after all they're jolly lucky if I don't manage to dribble over
them at some point, so there's little point in me pretending they are not
going to notice!!
In one interview I was asked (after informing them I did drive a car) "I hope
you don't mind me asking, but do you have a lot of accidents?", to which I
replied "No, but I do see a surprising number in my rear-view mirror!". I was
offered the job straight away, well, as soon as the bloke recovered from
laughing enough to talk again.
Cheers
Deri
