Interview Tip(s)

[katyon6th]

I'll start with:

Don't bring your children with you to an interview. Ever.

[Sunshine]

Don't bring your iPod with your earphones in your ears.

Sounds like there might be a story to tell with this one.

As far as real tips go, be early, smile, keep your answers between 30 and 75 seconds long, and make sure your socks match.

My boss told me about this one time when he interviewed a lady who was in her mid 40's that brought her daughter with her ... who was 19.

What the people?

[peewee's lovechild]

If it's not going well, and you think that they're not taking you seriously, don't call them Yack- ers.

That never goes down well.

[Sunshine]

Don't text message during your interview.

[katyon6th]

Don't respond to the question "How are you?" with:

I'm ready to leave. I didn't know this was going to take so long.

Seriously? Well, you can leave. I don't need to interview you. I didn't say that but I sure wanted to.

[SpursWoman]

Don't wear too much, if any, perfume/cologne.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Double shot of peppermint schnapps prior to the interview helps shake off the jitters while leaving your breath "minty fresh".

[katyon6th]

Don't hit on the person interviewing you. Telling the interviewer they're cute isn't acceptable either.

Somebody hit on you didn't they??

[jman3000]

I like it when the wimmens tell me that.

I usually hire them type of wimmens.

[samikeyp]

Never open your shirt and say "does your health plan cover this?"

[peewee's lovechild]

Liar.

You loved it.

[peewee's lovechild]

Never open your shirt and say "does your health plan cover this?"

Especially the pants.

Never the pants.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Is brandishing a firearm during an interview still frowned upon?

[samikeyp]

Seriously though...

when applying for a job in the travel industry and you are asked if you have travel experience, never say "oh yeah, I have traveled lots of times"

[samikeyp]

When asked what you like to do for fun, never say "I just likes to get my drink on"

Honestly, I've had a few who wouldn't stop calling me after our interview. Creepy, yet really damn annoying.

There was this one time a lady left a voicemail on our general mailbox saying "Tell that lady in your office named Katy that she's a homewrecker and to leave my husband alone!"

Oh, Jesus. That got a really good laugh in the office. We saved it and play it from time to time when we're feeling down.

[jman3000]

katy is a hooch.

i agree with that lady.

[SpursWoman]

If you're a woman going to an interview, keep your s in your shirt and links to your naked internet porn to yourself. You can't always be sure it's Jimcs that will be interviewing you.

You must really be a looker then.

[katyon6th]

You must really be a looker then.

Not to discount my good looks or anything but I meet with several people a week. Plus, I'm really nice.

[Slomo]

I... You can't always be sure it's Jimcs that will be interviewing you.

Although the odds are pretty good
