Got a job interview this morning

[I. Hustle]

In about 30 minutes actually. I am a bit nervous because it is a significant raise if I get it. So any advice or horror stories? I will probably only see the replies after it is over. I want to drink my water but I am afraid that I will need to take a leak during the interview. It's scheduled for an hour and a half.






No TDMVPOY I am straight so no BJ's besides the person interviewing me is a chick and not at all hot.

[JudynTX]

Be sure you have fresh breath. :D

[J.T.]

Just be confident with yourself. Job interviews are easy as fuck.

[J.T.]

Be sure you have fresh breath. :D

Pfft. One time I got hired for a job on the spot after acing the interview (and I had two friends who had been hired a few days before me and it took them like two or three interviews to get the job there), and I almost overslept it but luckily had enough time to throw on the clothes I wore the night before and take a Mexican shower. And I smoked like three cigs on the way there including one right before I went in.

Interviews are easy if you know how to work them.

[I. Hustle]

This is my second interview. It is usually a two step process here. I blew by the first and we'll see how this one goes.

fresh breath- check

I don't smoke but I wonder if it would help me out right now. The good thing is it is in the same company so they somewhat know me.

[TheManFromAcme]

Firm hand shake
Look into eyes
If sitting, lean towards interviewer
No farting...

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Stress your hatred of any ethnic groups that are not represented in the room during the interview. It's safe to assume they have been excluded for a reason and letting your potential employer know you share their values and beliefs will help your cause greatly.

[mrsmaalox]

.......the person interviewing me is a chick and not at all hot.

Maintain eye contact (the eyes are above chest level). Good luck!

[koriwhat]

just be you man... good luck bro!

[mouse]

If you want to make sure you get the job show up in one of these....

[TDMVPDPOY]

htf u know i was going to give u some advice...fkn

[IronMexican]

take a Mexican shower.

rofl what's a Mexican shower?

[symple19]

rofl what's a Mexican shower?

C'mon brih! You know, hittin' the hot spots with sink water and hand soap!!!

:lol Must be a term only crackers like me and JT use :lol

(I'm assuming JT is a white dude)

[I. Hustle]

Alright so it is said and done. I have it on great authority that I am in the top 2 so I have a 50/50 shot at it. The boss of the person that I would be working for is pulling for me so that is freakin awesome.
I don't want to jinx it so I won't say it but IF I get it I would be the supervisor over a certain group that I have talked about on here.

[IronMexican]

Never heard the term. Pretty funny though.

[mrsmaalox]

I thought you won the lottery or something and didn't have to work?

[4>0rings]

Was your status a ST discussed in said interview?

[DMX7]

Just go in confident. If you're a good candidate, then you shouldn't be nervous. You should be anxious to answer their questions and also to tell them about your accomplishments.

(advice for next interview, lol)

[I. Hustle]

I thought you won the lottery or something and didn't have to work?

Hell nah. I wish. You somehow got me confused with Maalox


Was your status a ST discussed in said interview?

It was on my resume. I put on there that both Kori and LJ have responded to not only my posts but my PM's as well. She was very impressed.

[I. Hustle]

WTF is up with the gimme two flaws question??

[florige]

+1. Its when you go in lying about accomplishments is when you need to really worry.

[tlongII]

WTF is up with the gimme two flaws question??

Those are my favorite. Say something like you sometimes work so much that it interferes with your charity contributions.

Luckily it's the same comapny and I just brought in all the awards I have gotten in the last two years and plus whenever I receive anything it is always in front of everyone.

Huh, I have never heard it called that, and I am white. I have always called it a "cockpit shower."

[TDMVPDPOY]

so did you smile at him after givin him a blowjob?

[florige]

Everytime I see a job interview thread I always think it has something to do with Ash.

[I. Hustle]

so did you smile at him after givin him a blowjob?

I could't, my mouth was full.

[The Gemini Method]

Well, she is viewing this thread and all...

Good to see you're getting off the streets, Hustle.

[I. Hustle]

Everytime I see a job interview thread I always think it has something to do with Ash.

How can she go on so many interviews and send out so many resumes without getting a job? It must be because she is asking for 800K a year from a non profit group.

[florige]

I decided to stop talking about it. One day I'll just start talking about the new great job I have.

Also I don't want to hijack other's threads when I have my own bitch and moan thread (or triumph even). This can be yours. I hope you get the job. Did you show 'em your boobies?

[gollum]

If you get the job cherish it like it's prescioussssssss.

[Debbie Downer]

Why bother getting a job your just going to get fired sooner or later.

[jack sommerset]

[florige]

So WTF man when are you supposed to find out? I am sorta curious myself. lol

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

hope you get it man, good luck

[Sisk]

I always thought a Mexican shower was dousing yourself with cologne..

[bus driver]

How have people never heard of a Mexican shower?

My definition of a Mexican shower has always been running a corner of a towel under the faucet and then rubbing it under your armpits.

And then there's the Puerto Rican shower which is just spraying yourself with a ton of cologne.

:lol

i almost spit my water out of my mouth :lmao :rollin :lol :lmao

[JudynTX]

Judging from what I see (and smell) on campus there might be a few middle eastern countries that could claim that as their national shower too.

[I. Hustle]

I find out soon. It's between me and a chick. She already knows the job BUT they like to hire from other departments as opposed to within because it is easier for a new person to come in and be in control instead of a peer.

Of course I showed my boobies! What do you think I am? An idiot?!

Thanks for the support, I can only hope that one day I can offer you some support as well ;)

[I. Hustle]

Yeah, I went for the lead spot here in my dept but they gave it to someone else from another group. It's cool though because she is nice. I should know really soon though. Not today but for sure this week.

[I. Hustle]

Good luck.

Are you trying to throw a wrench in my plans!!!!!!!!

Dude please tell me that the chick ISN'T hot and the one doing the interview ISN'T a dude. If that is the case if and I were the one interviewing, as they say in ebonics, U B Fucked my friend.... lol

Nah she isn't hot at all. In fact she could probably pass for a lesbo softball player. The hiring manager is lady in her 40's and not hot either. I wore the slacks that showed my nut cleavage so I think it helped.

[ashbeeigh]

:lol I meant support for your boobs but yeah for job interviews too.


Bastard! I thought you genuinely cared about my life there for a second!

[Clandestino]

Most people I know call it a "whore bath."

[I. Hustle]

So let's see if today is the day.

[grindmouse]

Most people I know call it a "whore bath."

You people have it all wrong.....


whore bath-wet cloth, wipe arm pits and crotch area.

Mexican bath-strong cologne like polo or old spice sprayed on arm pits and crotch area.

trailer park bath- just like whore bath but instead of wash cloth you use baby wipes.


I hope this information help settles this dispute.

[mrsmaalox]

Well?!?!

[I. Hustle]

Nothing yet. I am on the negative side. That way if I don't get it then oh well but if I do it will be a nice surprise

[mrsmaalox]

Good plan :tu

[I. Hustle]

What isn't helping is that I am so bored right now and falling asleep at my desk. Luckily nobody sees me.

[florige]

I find out soon. It's between me and a chick. She already knows the job BUT they like to hire from other departments as opposed to within because it is easier for a new person to come in and be in control instead of a peer.

Being a supervisor sometimes can be a pain in the ass. Especially if you have a bunch of lazy assholes working for you. But if the money is substantial then sometimes it is worth it. Plus it probably didnt help matters any that I was a supervisor a Best Buy which didnt pay crap to begin with.

Next time post what personal problems you may have so we can be up to date with what's going on in your life, after all we are all family like it or not. Don't be embarrassed, at the same time personal life does not have to be shared either. But a small post about what you have been dealing with the last 3 weeks can give us an idea why Sophie did not make it to your place. I don't want you to get a bad rap, and before anyone can say anything ask them if they offered me help or suggestions.

I think maybe 5 posters actually chimed in with advice or help, but I don't hold a grudge very long and I understand why they didn't.


I hope things improve at home and thank you for at least offering Sophie a nice home. That took courage and commentate, you should at least get shinny Spur under your screen name.

Well I didn't get the job. The manager is a freakin idiot. She waited all this time to tell me because she is a coward. She was scared of disappointing her manager and my manager because they were both pulling for me. Turns out she gave it to someone in her department because she knows jackshit about her job and wouldn't be able to train me and the person that got it would have been too pissed and wouldn't want to train me. So the other peeps in that department came up to me and told me since I didn't get it they are all going to transfer out of there. I thought they were BSing but my manager confirmed that they were appying for our area and others.

Here is what she told me. She said that I didn't sell myself enough. She said that the other person did. She actually had the nuts to tell me that I was better qualified and had more experience. She said that if she didn't work for the same company she wouldn't understand some of the things on my resume. The thing is you DO work for the same company you idiot. That is why I put those things in there because they pertain to the job! What a moron. She also said that I was too conservative and seemed too quiet!!! ME!!!! She also told me that I needed to meet some more people in the building. WTF?! Everyone in that freakin building knows me! I joke with the person that runs that shit regularly. I am on THREE different commitees and have organized several team building activities with groups consisting of people from every department.

That's good resume advice. Changing jargon on resumes is always a good idea. I found myself doing that a lot with my ACORN and ACORN Housing job(s) since it was so one dimensional. Ask yourself - if someone who isn't doing your job or someone at the company is reading the resume would be able to understand what you are doing.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Nah I work FOR a bank and not IN a bank. Yeah the job was much better pay.

You a analyst? or what?

These kind of moments in life help to build character. You will learn from it and if your smart and hard working opportunities will appear. Just think of people who live in a wheelchair or can't see how many jobs you think they never got?

All I know is i got a dam good job after my girlfriend left me and my life is finally going somewhere, maybe I off set the balance and made worlds collide, maybe me getting a job made you not get a job. if that is the case I will quit my job so you can get yours.
