[Shell]

Bump!

 

[Cruyff14]

I find out next week how I did.

There were some maths questions which I struggled with. I think I did ok for the most part though.

 

[Shell]

I bumped this thread for that?


No earthquake people?? Nuttin??? How boring.

 

[HeavyPop]

Don't reveal which AFL team you support. It got bought up in conversation once at a job interview and it turned out he was a St. Kilda supporter..this was around 2 months after the 2010 GF.

I never did get that job.

 

[Cruyff14]

I didn't get this job anyway.

You know what will make you feel better, Hawks smashing the Eags- Please let it be so.

Yeah there is, get back on the horse and ride again.

Note to self- maybe I should take my own advice.

No need to be, not your fault.

 

[Gough]

No need to be, not your fault.

If you're not wearing orange velvet, it says you're not serious.
Bad luck mate, better luck next time.

 

[Shell]

No need to be, not your fault.

It's social etiquette to express disappointment over a friends misfortune.

Just accept my sympathies ya moron.

And good luck on the next interview. Perhaps spin some shit that you survived a tsunami- that might get you the job, lol.

 

[Shell]

Hahah, I hear there's a job going at Melbourne FC.

Perhaps send in ya resume for that.

 

[Neese]

Aww bummer, hope you at least got some useful feedback for next time

They gave 0 feedback.

What a joke.

 

[Neese]

Dickheads, their loss too

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

I am probably the worst interviewee around. I have had some shattering interviews and I nearly have a phobia of them.

The pick of the bunch was this beauty...

1. Phone Interview (recruiter)
2. Psych Test (recruiter)
3. Face to Face Interview (recruiter)
4. Phone Interview (employer)
5. Written response (employer)
6. Face to Face Interview (employer)

After 6 hoops and 3 weeks, The recruiter sent me in for a job I did not apply for and was out of the last interview in 30 seconds. I struggled after that...was tough to apply when this shit could happen at any time.

Also I have the worst case of dry mouth and shakes the minute I think or discuss interviews or possible employment. Nervous anxiety really rips me and is probably the reason why i'm not a good fit for most places.

I've done Mock Interviews for my education field and nail them fine, but when it's on the line, I choke.

What a joke.

Worst is when you are given an actual "assignment" to do in 48 hours and then not given feedback for that!

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

You can call up and ask for feedback, I reckon?

 

[Smell The Glove]

All these interviews sound more important than the one real interview I have been to which was at Coles. Dad made me wear suit for it which made me feel like a real tool. Didn't even get the job.

Nothing better than walking in for an interview and one guy is totally over/under dressed.

Nothing eases the mood (for everyone else) like that.

Better to be overdressed than under, i've heard

Still, I'd hate to be the guy wearing a suit going for a casual job at a pizza joint. And I speak from exp....I mean, I would just hate to be that guy.

It shows you care. No issues

 

[Gasometer]

If you can show that you know your job plus give an insight into how you are to get along with, you have a good chance.
