Hello and greetings.
I made this thread yesterday
>be me
>10 years professional experience
>Bachelors degree
>certified public accountant (US equivalent of Chartered Accountant)
I can get far enough to get a face to face interview then I inevitably face plant and do not get the job. I am currently employed but I do not make enough money to live comfortably and I want to increase my salary by $1-2k per month.
How do I get through the interview?
>t cursed INTJ
Also I realize I am asking for advice. /adv/ thought you chuds could help
Jannies please don’t delete this as it is tangentially business related since I am a CPA (albeit a cursed one)

Drugs. Advil fights my anxiety idk why.

Writing down a rough outline of how you want it to go, answer questions you'd ask yourself. Write down all your pros and cons. Turn your cons into pros.

This is not a bad idea. I might pop some herbal supps before the interview on Tuesday. I’ve got some holy basil left, that helps if used in moderation

I hear you.. unfortunately I am basically stuck since I have a family to support. If I were single I’d probably look into living in a camper in the backwoods. Maybe work occasionally or steal. It’s not worth dealing with roasties and numales

Tylenol has been proven to significantly lower your emotional aversion to risk

>> No.55942741

>>55941498
Holy shit you just reminded me anon. When I did a full day onsite interview that I passed, I took advil a couple of times throughout the day. It does help. Kind of like the other anon said about Tylenol, there is some research that ibuprofen reduces negative feelings from rejection, maybe it has other properties that help with performance anxiety.

because anyone can get those credentials if they sign up. I want to make sure you're not an asshole loser before I hire you.

btw if you're actually trying to answer these questions truthfully instead of demonstrating that you know how to read a social situation you're going to have a bad time.

example:
> so anon can you tell us about the time you had a difficult boss?

> yeah this guy was straight up retarded. he didn't know how to open PDFs. he kept asking me to do multiple conflicting things. I got so fed up I quit, and that's why I'm here

WRONG answer.

> yes it was a challenge because we often had different priorities and values. for example, he often didn't want to use technological solutions. of course I talked to him about our different approaches and we reached a compromise that would work for both of us

Not this anon but for "personality" questions like this they have basically no way to tell whether or not you're larping so you might as well fluff yourself up to look like the best wagie you can be so you can get the job and use the skills that actually pertain to the job. Those questions are just there to filter out terminal autists

Are you seriously going to argue there is merit to your accounting degree? btw this is why women love credentialed fields. they don't show their value through competing but through checking boxes

The merit is in the CPA credential, manlet.

Same situation anon. Have 8+ years of very relevant experience. Had two really good interviews (I thought). Used STAR method to perfection to answer all the questions and tried to make friendly banter / small talk. Half the new company hired from my old company, so I know a dozen people.

Get to the interview. Disinterested director, barely paying attention. Follows every single question I answer with "hmm ok, next question". End up getting rejected. I'm convinced these faggot companies have quotas to meet for interviews and have no real intention of hiring good candidates. Fuck all of them.

I’ve had around a dozen face to face interviews where I didn’t get the job. Pretty much seen it all including the roastie who took one look at me and all but rolled her eyes. I’m getting frustrated because the weakest part of my portfolio (face to face interview) is vastly overshadowing my strongest parts
My plan for the interview next week is to pop a Calm Aid and take some holy basil. Calm Aid is concentrated lavender and it’s basically like popping a Xanax
Next week is the biggest interview of my life. If I get the job it will not only solve my financial problems but will be an “echelon jump” into the next strata of management, setting me up for a director level position in the future.
It’s all so tiresome… I just wanted to grill

Best luck to you anon. Hope we both land our dream spots. wagmi
