Depends on your level of autism

The fact you have to ask this indicates you are autismo.

Everyone jokes around, and your personality and ability to interact with other people determines your success in the job.

If you joke like a retard, stutter and wring your hands together, it'll be shit.
But if you joke like a human being it's fine

Literally the dumbest shit I've ever heard. If you relate with the interviewer than your pretty much set on getting a job. Nobody wants to work with a stuck up boring aspie which is why they ask you about your hobbies. I got a job once talking to the interviewer about how Trump was the superior choice over Hillary.

I am incredible at interviews and first impressions in general, can only really maintain the idealized version of my personality for short bursts however. Never have not gotten a call back.

The short answer is, it depends. Some interviewers (most), are all for it, but there are a select few who are insecure and take any jostling as disrespect. Most important thing is timing, a well placed comment. Irregardless of the individual, if you ace the timing, they'll be forced to appreciate it in some form.

Interviews?!?! Bitch did you not go to an Ivy league school, join a frat, act like an all around stand up guy, and network your tits off with other people in your realm of study?!?!

Sucks to be such an ignorant bitch.... My last "interview" was for an upper management position, with an old frat brother of mine. The interview literally consisted of seeing which one of us could STILL shotgun a beer faster. I let him win, but he let me have a 280k salary, a hot as fuck 20 something secretary, and a company Mercedes. Oh and I do no real work other than passing off reports to the board of directors. My middle management team does ALL the heavy lifting.

I'm the opposite, cannot for the life of me make a good first impression, but every community/job/group of friends I've ever had start to like me given enough time. I think I simply cannot emulate normie behaviour, even if I tried my best it would just look like a cheap fabrication

Can confirm all my interviews consist of a little shit talk before the interviewer proceeds telling me what I'll be doing, implying I've already got the job

high chance you're larping but it's possible the
guy interviewing him's dad is probably on the board of directors. kids slightly retarded, but got the job because of said dad. I've seen it happen before. Wouldn't be surprised if said kid brings in more incompetent morons on board. Give the company like 10 years if it's currently successful.
Also kid could have had SAT prep since like 6th grade, tutors, major connections with ivy league. Scenario isn't impossible but unlikely in short

Anon, trust me. Just whip your dick out in the table and show them that massive bbc. They will literally drool and stutter. That’s when you grab the cup of coffee in their hand, stare them in the eyes, and say, “I’m the boss now.” She will stutter something about policy and procedure but that’s where you literally shove that massive bbc in her mouth. The taste, the smell, the exhilaration will overwhelm her and she will absolutely spasm in ecstasy. I literally did this on my last interview, and gd, she couldn’t hire me fast enough and she always maxed out my merit increase.

I dunno OP I just bee myself and generally pretend I don't care (in a good way) if I get the job. So far I have always got the job, even after I've had multi year NEET gaps, no sweat. Just make up some bullshit like I was going back to school with over 15 credits or some shit

Just don't TRY to be funny, people can detect a tryhard. Think about it from the manager's perspective. if YOU were a manager what type of person would you hire? And don't give me that "oh, good at what he does! and is a diligent hard worker!" shit because bitch no, they are stuck with your fucking ass 8 hours a day. If you have a job you spend more time with your co-workers than your own family.

If I were a manager I'd want to hire a laid back person that won't be giving me shit or putting unwanted attention from (((higher ups))) in the area I manage, whether it's good or otherwise.

Had a phone interview with some vapid temp agency retard that asked me for an interview to an incredibly obscure job posting, she didn't even mention until the interview that the job required skill in a certain area until we were actually talking.

Then when she realized she fucked up and didn't bother even looking at the resume SHE SEARCHED FOR the rest of the conversation was "ahah, yup, oh neat, uhuh, great. okay". HR is truly the most useless position in corporate environments
