"I went through a lot of depression when I was younger, and I feel like I missed out on a lot. By the time I'd be ready for kids now, I'd probably be too old." Which is my go-to answer when I can't say "I can't stand the little pukes."

My Speech professor in collage told us the story of a woman who didn't get the job because she had kids. She did really well in the interview and the guy walked her to her car and saw kid stuff in it, found out she had them and decided to not hire her.

Hate to say this, but you probably made it worse, talking about suffering depression. You don't want them to think you might have any sort of frailty (even if you are certain it will never rise again) that will impact your ability to do the job.

All it takes is a little brain power to figure out these things, though. A former male manager of mine used to ask people to describe their accomplishments or things they are proud of in an interview. 99.9% of Breeders cant' stop yapping about their kyds, so you get your answer.
I use that technique. It should be obvious in a JOB interview that people are asking about PROFESSIONAL accomplishments but Breeders don't get it. It's a weeding-out question, It shows poor boundaries between work and home.

don't mention your history of depression, even if it's not an issue anymore. It shouldn't matter, but sadly employers will see it as a liability or weakness.

You may still get the job especially if they will be having you work from home.

Stillwater, have you heard back from them yet?
Will you let us know if you get it or not?
If you don't, please report them okay? I reported a company to the labor dept. for asking when my birthday was on a job application.
They actually were quite serious about it, made a copy, and said they would contact the company.

I won't find out until later this week. I am considering reporting it, simply on principle. It's hard enough to find a job anymore without HR mucking around in my sex life.
