I have a couple of job interviews coming up next week and I'm kind of nervous because I haven't actually had a real job interview since high school so I don't have much interviewing experience. I had my first job interview when I was 16 and the manager was upset at the fact that I wore jeans to the interview. (I didn't know any better). It was a pretty bad first-time experience. I had a summer job in college where I just walked in and they hired me on the spot without an interview (best job I ever had). Then I worked for my grandfather's plumbing business for a few years. Then I got a trucking job. You don't have to interview for an entry-level trucking position. You just have to have a CDL and not smoke meth on a regular basis.


When I get nervous I get shaky and I feel like I can't breathe. Share some tips for relaxing and succeeding in a job interview. Don't be afraid to share your embarrassing interview moments because they will make me feel less like a loser if I make a fool of myself. Thanks.

to get over your anxiety, imagine the interviewer is naked. then if you like what you see just gently caress him like crazy.

One of the jobs I'm interviewing for is fedex. The other is for a Habitat for Humanity ReStore delivery driver position. I've heard that fedex is a soulless mega-corp with horrible management, and, while the ReStore is for a good cause, some of the people that work there look like they just got out of San Quentin. FedEx looks better on the resume, but the ReStore is expanding fast and the manager seems eager to put me into a management position which equals more pay.

I could get a local trucking position, but I need at least one year of otr trucking experience and I'd rather slit my eyeballs with a hot knife than do that.

perhaps you could take a job cleaning poo from toilets, they don't really care what your attitude is and clearly you have a bad one when it comes to having to do actual work of any kind

Don't worry I got me some nice streetcars. I also got me a pair of dockers (a little baggy, but not "cholo" baggy), and a navy blue polo shirt.

Ask the interviewer if they have stairs in their house and when they pretend to be confused about the question begin screaming obscenities as loud as possible

You will get job 100%

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
when you meet the interviewer, to make a good impression, suck in your lips and face really hard and swallow your tongue. this allows him to understand that you are the dominant male in the room.

bring a small handful of peanuts on one pocket, and pennies in the other. using the pennies and peanuts, spell out the interviewers name in pennies, and your own in peanuts. this is a vague way of telling them you would like to be paid in real money.

a job interview is basically just an hour conversation for someone to see if you can do a job, so the easiest way to convince them of this is to simply assume you already have the job and answer questions like that, so I guess confidently and non-retardedly. if you're nervous all the time on the job then I dono, grab a drink before the interview or whatever, just remember to be chill and not an idiot, but ymmv
