A headhunter asked me "why do you think you're a good UI designer?"

Instead of saying, "because I've spent a dozen years constantly figuring out how to make complicated software accessible to normal people," I said what I really thought: "I'm a good UI designer because I'm lazy and stupid, and will rage-quit anything that isn't easier than cracking open a beer."

Hmm. Discretion might well be the better part of valor.
