Why itis a taboo, to talk about "stupid bosses"
Many of us have had a non-sales back ground boss, orlike in my case, a foreigner, from an european country, with no idea of american ideosincrasy, and with no intention to adapt to the circumstances. a book follower, no leader ship, an imposer rather than a proposer, and most anoying, he´s conseption of team work ,was to do what ever the company ordered us to do with out questioning.
¿Will like to know how to explain this in an interview? should I tell what they want to hear or my thruth?

I was recently coached by a recruiter to answer this question only, repeat, ONLY in the context of the position you are are applying for and for the requisite skills and accomplishments being asked for. In my example, I was being interviewed for a database developer position. While I has some, but limited, experience in that area, I has other IT experience that the company was willing to consider. So I was instructed to only speak "about myself", i.e., customer focus, passion, rewards, contributions & accomplishments, etc., in those terms to the best that I could. I was not to digress into other areas of IT (I was experienced in) in that speech. The same held true for the other "killer" questions about my strengths and my weaknesses. When describing weaknesses, I was to only address how I was hoping to improve my database development skills, but immediately shift back to my strengths and what I can bring to the table.

While I did not get the job (experience does matter in most quarters), I had never felt "more in control" of an interview before!

@ Rob - Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us here at ILostMyJob.com! This type of peer-to-peer advice and help is amazing. I know so many readers will be inspired by your experience. I think the recruiter gave you some great advise! In interviews, we tend to let the interviewer "control" the flow of conversation. What you did was reverse that! Nice work!

@ Carlos - You bring up an interesting question. I know that we have all had these types of experiences and it is difficult to move past them. Remember... it is difficult to drive forward while looking in the rear-view mirror! Anytime you say negative things about your previous work environment or a specific person in an interview it is an immediate "RED FLAG" for a recruiter. You need to stick to the positives, no matter how bad the negatives were!

this is in response to Carlos Garcia. Just from the verbiage in your post I can guess that your one of the bottom employees in the department and probaly in teh company. Everything in your world is everyones fault but yours. You come off as entitled and whinny. American idiosyncracies are not a standard in which you should hold yourself. Try reading a book for a change and getting a different view other than your own.
