Nice participation medals ****.

You just jelly!

Another job question

Is it fine to ring up a potential employer (well most likely former likely) and ask for feedback as i didnt get the role and where i can improve to get opportunities like this one in the future

i think it is

Absolutely. I expect to get asked for feedback. In fact anyone that was close but missed out and then didn't seek feedback I would certainly think twice about considering in the future.

My shiz is fo real not fo turning up yo.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

If I was interviewing for a job at PAFC and Keith Thomas was on the panel I wouldn't wear a tie. He'd likely frown upon such disregard for casualness. At worst I'd wear a novelty tie, like one of those ties shaped like a fish. He'd like that.

Keith would be disappointed if you turned up early, you would be too highly strung for his casualness.

JOb interview tomorrow for base level Sales rep

Do i go

Slacks and business shirt (i think so)

Add in a tie

or go full on suit

I employ a number of people at this level and would recommend trousers, shirt plus tie as a minimum. Suit preferable. It isn't about what you will be wearing in your day to day role if successful. It is about creating a first impression that you are serious about the reason you are here. My first step is to generally offer them to take their jacket off and make themselves comfortable though. I would be worried if I said that to some people on here they would strip down to their boxers and lay back scratching their nuts though....

You had me so relaxed I was scratching my nuts before I even finished reading your post.

He'd also prefer to be referred to as "dude" throughout the interview as opposed to "sir" or "Mr Thomas". Use of the word "Team" would also be a big no no.

"Dude, I think I could bring so much to your group of cats if given the opportunity"

He'd like that.

Add the word hep before cats and you have the perfect Casual Keith sentence.

 

[I Dont Care]

So, from what you are saying I could recommend these 2 go for a job interview with Dude Keith?

Throughout the interview Keith would be drumming along on the desk to a tune playing in his head. He'd then abruptly pause you mid sentence with a "Hang on, dude...." before orally mimicking the lead guitar solo.

The song would more than likely be "more than a feeling".

To white boy middle of the road for Casual Keith.

What's going on by Marvin Gaye would be on high rotation in his head.

Or BTO'a 'You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet'.

 

[Powerstufff]

Australia claims another one.
Graeme Smith to retire ....

My goodness! Well done Doctor Feel who nailed this 2 pages back.

 

[Trewth]

Or BTO'a 'You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet'.

Haha yes

 

[finbarr]

I assume he'd be simultaneously tapping out the drum beat on the desk with his fingers.

He'd then ring downstairs to the bistro for an order of orange whips.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

He may very well have a Jerry MacGuire "Free Falling" moment everytime he gets in his car.

And tell the person on the other end "no hurry, we cool".

Tie without a suit jacket doesn't look right, reminds me of this:

Depends who you are tying up.

Maybe I should lose the watch
