In 2008 while doing interviews, I had a lady ask me as the final question:
- Do you play any instrument? Say the trumpet, the piano... anything?
I did play the guitar all my life.
- No, I don't.
- Anyone on your family have that "knack" for instruments? Something-something art?
- No mam.
Of course I was turned down.
One thing that I can say about these bullshit questions though, is that to maximize chances, you can go ahead and try to be fun. No funny. Fun.
"Yes, I worked with home-automation, had some clients, I did everything from business to coding..."
instead you can do
"That was a time in my life that I really excited about. You ever had one of those situations where you jump out of bed an you just wanna get to work? Man those were the days... so, home-automation..."
Sucks as an introvert to put with stuff like this, but it only takes an hour, and it's six figures later on.

Why did you say you didn't play an instrument when you did?
he probably wanted to skip the bullshit
