[quote=Anonymous]In some hiring situations, humor is appropriate. Academic appointments involving teaching demonstrations and research presentations - yes, probably a very good idea. The faculty who attend are trying to decide if you're going to be a good fit for their department culture. Humor helps with that. Even for non-academic appointments, if your future colleagues will be participating in your interview process, and you know they're evaluating you for your work *and* for your fit in the company culture, then perhaps humor is a good idea. But PPs are right, you need to be careful about reading your audience.[/quote]
