I'm sure you're doing it in a sensible way, but... the thought that played out in my head went a little like this {apologies, I'm not well today, this might be a fever dream}:

Interviewer: "Welcome to your hammer-stuff interview, hope you're ready to show your hammering skills, we see from your resumé you've been hammering for a while now."

Schmuck: "Yeah, I just love to make my bosses rich by hammering things!"

Interviewer: "Great, let's get right into the hammer use ... here's a screw, show me how you'd hammer that."

Schmuck: (Thinks - "Well, of course, I wouldn't normally hammer those; but I know interviewers like to see weird things hammered! Here goes...")

[Hammering commences]

Interviewer: "Well thanks for flying in, but you've failed the interview. We were very impressed that you demonstrated some of the best hammering we've ever seen. But, of course, wanted to see you use a screwdriver here in your hammering interview at We Hammer All The Things."
