[quote=Anonymous]I hire all the time in my job.  If I had a candidate who in the course of one interview was assertive about:

- what I can and cannot tolerate in a working environment
- how negatively I respond to micromanaging
- I would need to feel trusted to handling those sorts of things on my own without a lot of direction
- I cannot tolerate being micromanaged every day

It would not go well.  No one likes to be micromanaged.  No one.  But language as strong as that above, and repetition in that way, would be clear indicators of prior bad experiences, or inflexibility, or an inflated sense of one's capabilities, or - at bare minimum - a complete inability to read me in terms of how they were being perceived.

I wouldn't hire that kind of attitude in my workplace or my home.  And presumably you would have zero interest in working for me.

Fair enough.  And it's good for the OP seeing a few different sides/reactions to the question she posed so she can decide what the best approach is for her and whatever prospective employers she's meeting.[/quote]
