My list contains the same items as yours, for much the same reasons.
Last time I was job-hunting I had got an interview with a weapon
manufacturer. At that point, I felt some pressure since my old job was
nearly over, so I went to the interview. However, I was honestly glad when
they did not accept me. (The more so when, not long afterwards, I got my
current position at a software company in the automobile branch - which is
much better in any respect. :-)
