A few years back, a friend of mine named Jim, who looks like a Greek god (6’5”, former Abercrombie and Hilfiger model, current surgeon), called me up around 5:00pm one day, and in a deep voice said, “Hey Dom, wanna go ride dirt bikes at the track? Me: “Yeah man. That sounds good.”

It actually sounded like a great idea, after long day of interviewing.

So, Jim shows up in a lifted 1972 Chevy Blazer. We pick up the bikes and throw them in the back of the truck, strap them down, and head to the track. We are feeling manly. We ride motorcycles. We hit a few eighty-foot tabletop jumps and felt even more manly. Then we head home.

I get home around ten and decide to run to the grocery store to pick up some Little Debbies and Gatorade for the guys putting in a new floor in my house. I worked a little bit of construction in college, so I am very sympathetic to being hungry and doing manual labor.

In the supermarket, I notice an early twenty-something girl smile shyly at me and then look away. I think, “No big deal. She probably senses my aura of manliness after being at the racetrack.” Then a middle-aged woman smiles at me. I’m like, “Awww yeah. I have to ride motorcycles more often. This is great.” Lastly, in the checkout line, the female checker and the bagger throw smiles my way and make a little small talk. “Still got it in my early 30s,” I said to myself like Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell) would on Modern Family.

As soon as I get home, I head to the shower. While standing in front of the mirror, I notice that there is a thick brown dirt mustache above my upper lip. The dirt and dust from the track had settled in the area between where my goggles met the mouth-protecting part of the helmet.

The girls weren’t smiling at me. They were laughing at me! I still crack up when I think about it to this day.

Remember, an interviewer cannot write down everything you say. Interviewers only write down the key details and values that become apparent in the story.

Here’s how my story breaks down with the B ME outline. I’ve written the notes as an interviewer would have written them.

Question: Tell me about a time something embarrassing happened to you.

Answer:

Beginning: Dom went to the dirt bike track after work to blow off some steam.

Middle: He hit some big jumps and had a great time. Afterward, he decided to buy the construction workers some snacks at the grocery store. (Excellence, Integrity, Teamwork)

End: The situation turned out hilariously. He thought girls were smiling at him at the grocery store, but they were actually laughing at his dirt mustache. He has a sense of humor about situation.
