How about this for off the wall. Psychology degree, former Army Infantry Officer, firearm sales, sold Ford auto parts, was the training director for a 17 store chain of auto service centers, sales rep for a major motor oil/everything attached to that distributor, and was a dealer service manager prior to... Applying for the position of chief interpretive naturalist, to manage a state parks nature center, guide hikes, develop and present nature programs, etc... Got the job on the first interview, beating out folks with forestry/biology/natural science degrees, and it was the best job I ever had. Would have done it for free.
Another. I applied for, and received an interview with an explosives and propellants firm to be a sales rep, and small arms ammunition developer. They flew me and my then wife to the HQ, put us up in a nice place, and interviewed me for two days. Was told I got the job, and waited for the relocation package to be worked out. Got a call two weeks later that my position was eliminated (president had a buddy who needed a job, so they cancelled my position, and gave this dude an HR spot). Biggest letdown I ever experienced, as it was EXACTLY what I wanted. At the time I was basically a former Army Officer, with a Psychology degree... No engineering or technical background, yet there I was getting the position, and I would have kicked its ass.
I could tell you of a situation where I interviewed with a very prominent Japanese OEM auto parts maker, where the process was seven interviews over as many days, all tag-team, all very 'tricky'. On interview five, and flat out cheekily telling them how it was almost to the point of their collective jaws dropping, I still got interview No 6. Gotta be bold yet civilized, know your audience, and take your chances. I may not be the coolest cat, but I am incredibly resistant to any effort to make me think I'm un-cool, or to put me in a box. Best of luck to you.
