They say you only get one chance to lake a first impression so I want to do the best one I can. I was thinking of maybe wearing a collored shirt and a fake mustache to show I'm professional but I also know how to have a good time when the situation calls for it, or maybe a bra with one of the straps slightly showing to create an aura of mystique, or a hat with the logo of a popular sports team like the New Yorj Yankees. You guys have more experience with this kind of thing so I'm counting on you

If asked for a weakness make sure to say it's that you work too hard or care too much. Employers love that and will be surprised how you can turn a negative into a positive.

Also, make sure to pay that one goon hundreds of dollars for a resume and interview coaching.

My weakness is that "I have a hard time accepting help because it's my job and if you have to send me help then I feel like I'm doing something wrong" it landed me my current job :coal:

try not to cry if the interviewer calls you a fag and slaps you aroud a little. this is just part of the "hazing process" and is somethong ever interviewee has to go through

make sure you list "extensive experience sending and receiving faxes" whether its true or not. most people in HR value this skill above all others. if you dont have that experience take a class at a local business college. usually they have night classes in faxing, and stenography.

This, unironically. It should be a two way street. If you don't have questions for them, they'll figure out that you're a fuckup who's just desperate for a job, any job.

It's a lot easier to pull off if you already have a job and aren't a millennial.

I interviewed this one girl a few months ago she turned the tables and starting interviewing us. We all liked it and thought it was pretty novel but ultimately we went a different direction/gender in our decision making process.

I always do this. A bunch of research into the company and then I ask a bunch of questions and even have them give me a tour at the end if possible.

HR people have no soul. Their music consists of the tears of people who have them.

Foo Fighters. Probably a good bet on Bruce Springsteen too.

Even better is to have a ton of money so you can just invest it and not even need a job. That will give you a lot of confidence that interviewers will pick up on.

My dad has a story about one of his old friends who went into a Civil Service interview with 5 pints in him.

When asked "What is your opinion on the current situation with yugoslavia?", he replied with What the gently caress kind of question is that?

Better than my lovely technique of not prepping. Jesus Christ do some prep.
