Spy on Your Interviewer - easy, inexpensive and discreet

I'm always wary of the shenanigans interviewers play on candidates, but can you catch them in the act ?, I've often asked myself.

The interviewer might not only put YOU in an awkward position unnecessary, but in group settings they may employ questionable tactics to ding you in favor of a preselected candidate. For motive of personal gain / to do somebody a favor, you get barraged with anything but the "equal" treatment the law is supposed to afford you.
Maybe you don't have the looks, you don't have the connections, or they just simply do not like your haircut that morning.

Now, pump up your spy instinct.

You do not have to be James Bond or have much money: for LESS than $10 (and free worldwide shipping) you can get a 1280 x 960 Spy Pen Plug-in Card DVR Camera Video Recorder that just looks and works like a regular pen also.

Note: I do not have any personal interest in the manufacturer or the reseller of this product. I do not know how sturdy it is and cannot endorse it. The hope, of course, is it should last for a while and not break too soon.

Winners bring a bigger bag than you do. I have a degree in meritocracy.
