We’ve all done it — listed “proficient” next to a language or software on our resume  and prayed to all the gods the hiring manager didn’t really mean it when he listed it in the job description.

In either case, this phase of the process could mean any of the following: They like your skills and background, but they want to make sure you pass the airport test . (A.k.a., They want to work with you, but do they want to hang out with you?) They want you to meet several more people, but they don’t want to put you through the process of sitting down for hour-long interviews with all of them. They’re hiring you for a role that interacts with people regularly, and they want to make sure you don’t transform into a different human being in a non
