I've got a job interview tomarrow for a job I've been trying to get for the last year and a half or so........
Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck....
;D
-
Good luck.
-
Best of luck. I hope you get this mysterious position.

Job interviews are the worst, especially if you need the job.
There's nothing like being unemployed, stressed about diminshing savings, mortgage and kids to support... and the only time you get out of the house is for a high stakes evaluation of your professional and personal skills.
-
Skip the interview, the lottery is now at 200 million.
-
The odds are better that if he hid in Reese Witherspoon's bushes, jumped out naked and said "boogity boogity slap my nutsack", that she would find it sexy and take him right then and there.
-
In case any assistance is needed in this plan, I'll volunteer to hide in Reese Witherspoon's bush.

-
Good luck.
And best of luck with the interview.

It's a computer related job. If I get it it will open a whole new set of doors for me. I basically went back to school to improve my chances for this job. Currently I'm working Manufacturing work. So this is a step in a new direction.
here's a little about the job I'll still be working third shift, but I will be monotoring computers for NCDC (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ncdc.html) I was hoping to get into the hardware part of the job, but you got to start somewhere and getting my foot in the door is the first step.
I've never went for a job that wasn't manufacturing related so I'm pretty nervous.....
-
I know what you mean. When I switched from auto body work to office work, I was very, very nervous about the interview process. Turned out I got the first job I interviewed for, and seven years later I'm still working for the guy I interviewed with. He told me a few years later that I was crap in the interview, but he hired me anyway because he could tell I was just nervous. Lucky for me I've got a great boss.
As a side note, I'm working at the third place under the same boss. He's changed positions twice since he hired me. He called to hire me for the new location both times.

Okay I like the guy & everything, but he's totally not my type. I mean he doesn't even like video games.
-S
-
But he does like The Sting Hole.
-
That was supposed to be our little secret.
-S
-
There's nothing little about The Sting Hole.
-
Post Hell anyone?
-
I certainly hope so.
-S
-
lol

The Sting Hole - send your BF to Post Hell

Sorry, we are no longer accepting submissions for the t-shirt slogan.

can we get back on the topic of doing "I hope you get the job" chants to wish me luck.......
perhaps some ancient job dance to summons the job gogs to have pity on me..........
and if I don't then we know where to test this new gravity invention once we invent it ;D

I hope you get the job

i hear wearing bondage outfits to interviews is the in thing now
-
Only if you are interviewing for Cosplay Magazine.

Being an old person, I have no idea what might or might not be "the in thing" so I'm forced to agree with Seph.

Eye contact. Eye contact is the secret. You should ensure you hold eye contact and attempt to keep facial twitches to a minimum.
Good luck dude.
-
Once you're experienced with interviews, you can learn to read the interviewer and tailor your style to that individual. I've been on so many now that I can tell within 90 seconds how to handle this person. At times you can even specifically direct the conversation while making the interviewer feel like the one in power. It's a combination of sales and con work.
-
Failing that, push everything on his desk onto the floor, set the garbage can on fire, then calmly explain in great detail how that is the only way you can keep THEM from focusing THEIR mind control beam on you.
-S
-
GOOD LUCK !!!!
HOPE YOU GET THE OFFER !!!
:)
-
well just got back from it......
I was nervous enough to start with, but seeing how the job is in the Federal building n our downtown district. Having to go through all the metal detectors and screenings just to get in there made it worst....
I think I did allright... Hope I hear something from them soon
-
I am sure you did fine. Good job man.
-
As long as you ranted for at least ten minutes about THEM I'm sure you got the job. ;D

He is interviewing for a gov't job. All he had to do was read the bumper stickers in the parking lot and repeat the phrases at random.

What'd ya say?

The lottery is now at 250 million, buy a ticket then call the interviewer and tell him you don't need his stupid job.
Odds are 1 in 100 million you'll win, a ticket is a buck the pay out is 250 million, the odds are now in your favor.
-
I am good at math.
Bad joke x 2 = dumbass
-
just sent him a thank-you letter for the interview to make him remember my name....
-
Good move. I always do that.

Also tell him that you know he's one of THEM and there's no way you can work for THEM.

I never have before, but then again those were allways manufacturing jobs...
I onceworn a Miller Lite ballcap to manufacturing job intervies before, didn't think about it till the interviewer pointed it out and said that it was a great beer. (got that job).....
anyway while at work last night it dawned on me I better send one out so did it first thing when I got out of work.........
-

I am great at math.
250 million with 100 million combinations to win.
I'll take this slow for those of you are only good at math, if you spend 100 million dollars to buy every combination you will win 250 million dollars. That's 150 million profit.
Skip the job interview win 150 million dollars.
-
And after you spend 100 million dollars, you will win 250 million dollars. You will receive ~85 million dollars after taxes.
Invest 100 million return 85 million. Yay.

And then hopefully no one else had the same idea, or just gets lucky. What if 3 people win? rut-roh...

missioncontrol slaps hand on forhead
doh............
-
Any news? Did the correctional facility call back yet?
-
The 250 million drawing is tonight, he wont know till after 9pm.
-
How many ticks you got? Were ya able to get the loan for $100m? :)
-
The 250 million drawing is tonight, he wont know till after 9pm.
So....ummm....'Double D',....how much DID you win in the lottery?
-
After taxes, he received a lump sum of -$1.
-
according to the message under his avatar I'd say he didn't win. otherwise he'd have a quarter or two.
-
He probably just needs it to scratch off his next lottery ticket.
-
I've got a job and all the money I need. Besides 250 million would buy me a front seat on the bus to heck.
Although I did just buy 5 tickets from a gas station that's raffling off a Harley for Breast cancer.
250 million = fast road to heck
Harley = slow road to heaven
-
but having that much money in heck would certainly impress the politicians and lawyers down there
-
It will sure impress me.
-S <-- heckbound

When they die, why do they put politicians and lawyers 8 feet under instead of the usual 6?

UPDATE
Just got a call from the guy who interviewed me.....
He said he highly recommended me for the position....
He said that the next step ws that I would receive a formal letter offering me the job and everything about the job..........
WOOOO HOOOOOOO
****update again
he just called me as I was typing this....
He wanted to know a start date for when I will fill the position........
missioncontrol does the happy dance
-
Outstanding!
-S
-
Hey Hey!!! Beer time!! Great news for a Friday. ;D
-
Awesome. Congrats! Hopefully it goes through.
-
Make sure you ask for some vacation UP FRONT.
-
Oh, yes, keep your offer terms and frame them. You will need them later when they forget about things you were promised.

I'm getting out of manufacturing
do da do da
I can tell my old boss to ---display unending love for my bottom---
all the do da day
;D
-
Well done. Now do a Homer and call in sick the first day. :D
-
Is this a desk job involving a computer? I know that getting a job like that is what started me down the road to superslackerdom.
-S
-
Don't bother telling your boss to ---fudgesicle--- off. The satisfaction you will get is not worth burning the bridge that allows you to return to your old job if the new place lays you off in 5 weeks.
-
no I really wouldn't burn a bridge.......
but I can sing about it.....
-
Congrats MC. Nothing better than starting off new. The world's your oyster ;)
-
mmmmmmmm oysters
-
SA-WEET! Right on brother. Congratulations. 8)
-
The offer letter still isn't here yet :( He said he mailed it out Friday and that I should get it Wednesday.
Should I give him a call or wait a few more days?
-
Give him a call. A job isn't something you take the passive approach on.
-
I'd call too.
-S
-
I just called him...
He too thought I should have gotten it by now, he's checking into it.....
-
**update**
the package arrived ;D Fed Ex has some really strange hours here..........
-
Good. You know they are serious when they FedEx the package. Usually, I'll receive them via overnight FedEx.
-
I hope so.... this is all new to me... manufacturing they just call you and tell you to come in at whatever time
-
soon missioncontrol will become a scrabble playing fiend at his office job

My desk job will be from 11PM to 7:30 AM so I'll probibly end up playing against our members on the other side of the globe....
-
Whoa! You're a real night owl aren't you? I get to work about the same time you're going home.
-S
-
what kind of office needs people working those hours???
-
The kind that I'm far to lazy to work in.
-S
-
A company that has to provide tech support for something.
-
what kind of office needs people working those hours???
my job will consist of monitoring the National Climatic Data Center computers. they have to be manned 24/7 and I've worked 3rd shift for so long that I don't think I'd know how to work a day job....
-
that must be so weird working those hours, i couldnt imagine it
-
When I was in college I was in school all day, then did third shift computer crap 4 days/week... I slept like 15 hours in 1997.
-
I get about 4 - 5 hours sleep a day.
I catch up on the weekends.
-
Good work of the new job dude. You will now be awake when I am.
