    Every interview is different, so I would not worry what they were asking, as long as you are helpful and honest you should be OK.

    Yas ORs can probe back as far as they want. If you have nothing to hide and answered honestly, II would not worry.

    My OR went back twelve years:eek:

    Good luck sizzler.

    There was quite a few times during my interview where I had to admit that I did not know the answer, you are best saying this than making something up.
