Acronym for "Same Question Different Interview". Pronounced "squiddy".
Represents the same (sometimes retarded) questions that some
job applicants repeatedly encounter, by hiring managers who think they're being original.
Frequently encountered by anyone who either has a
gap in their resume, or is trying to
switch career fields or roles. Also encountered more during a recession.
Manager: So.. what did you do last year? *points to gap in resume*
Ted: My industry was laying
people off and nobody could get a
job.
Manager: Oh I see.. so, why are you applying for this position? It's different from your last job and you don't have the right experience..
Ted: *facepalm* (SQDI again!? Are you kidding me!? 5th
time this month..)
