ITT: discuss interview techniques, share tips and stories.

Tell us, Mr. Anon, where do you see this thread in 5 years? And I see you've applied for a janitor position, what would you like your starting salary to be?

job interviews are like a dance, you never answer what is being asked of you as if it were at face value. if you're not able to identify how the interviewer is leading you and how you should respond to show you are switched on and aware of the dance, you're done.

once aware, and once you start to see the interviewer is aware, you can lay down some line which will leave your impression. something like "i hope you can see by my resume that I make the most of opportunities which pass my way, and I plan to do the same in this position"

then rape the interviewer on the desk

What was your worst interview, brehs? And did you get the job

>> No.53973477

never failed an interview in a formal setting (casual coffee interviews are shit, put me in a suit and lets sit somewhere fucking quiet thanks)
>>53973401
appear relaxed even if you aren't. accept water when offered water/coffee, make sure you're caffeinated before the interview so you dont want another coffee.

research the company and the interviewers a shit load. use an incognito browser and look at their linkedin so they cant see you've been looking. look up the size of the firm, date it was created, what they do.

make sure you know as much of what the role will entail before the interview and come prepared. if you have work similar to what you're expecting the job to require, bring it along and show them there.

be humble. dont talk about pay until after the interview unless they bring it up, then give only a ballpark

i checked the interviewing process from mckikey because I got to do the SOLVE game. i purchased a cheat excel and solved the game. didn't got to the next level though.

next level would be:
learn 12 stories (lies) about situations in your resume and tell the lies.

next level after this:
do shitty excel math in your brain and solve a case in a high pressure situation.

in the process of preparing for the next 2 steps I lost interest in joining them because of the lies and mental math stupidity. I hold a fucking masters of science and they want me to jump through a burning hoop.

you have an ego problem that is completely unwarranted. masters of science... not exactly a phd is it? if you're not even willing to do mental math to earn your job (sounds like you couldnt even manage that KEK) then you're not going to do any work at your job are you.

you sound like an incel and a fake. you will always be weeded out. newsflash: 4 years of study after highschool is nothing, all of your interviewers and bosses will have done twice that if not more over their career. you are not special

>tell my mom I'm interviewing for a sales position, get all excited, wear the suit my parents bought for me for a wedding 2 years ago, a bit small now but whatever, gotta look good for my interview

>there's a shit load of people here, most of them are young, pimply faced teenagers like me, I recognize a bunch of people from school
>me and my friend are literally the only people who dressed up, everyone else is wearing street clothes; one guy is wearing a dirty wife beater with a bunch of disgusting stains
>instead of this being a huge red flag for us, we turn to each other and say "holy shit look at this dogshit competition, we got this easy"

and interview at a University, I walk in the door like 5 or 6 people are on the other side of the table. These people must have absolutely nothing to do is what I was thinking. You need that many people just to interview a fucking graphic designer? It took forever, it was awful, I lost my voice answering all their bullshit questions and there was no water. By the end of it I didn't give a shit anymore.

I remember interviewing for a job at a place once and there were three fucking HR roasties hosting the inteview. They were wearing what basically amounted to pajamas in the work place and had that really smug, smarmy entitlement that only came with being the confirmed, unrivalled henmothers of their particular dens. I recall the stench immediately when I was welcomed into the small side-room that they took my interview in. Like stale fish oil supplements. They were a little younger than me, and if I'm honest quite attractive, although each had clearly allowed herself to fall lax in her body in some manner, since they were established at work and it was evident by their mannerisms and some of the small talk that they were all single.

I could not fucking focus a single bit during the interview. I hardly answered any questions like a normal person might, and I maintained eye contact way too long as an attempt to eye-rape these women like a disarming tactic. All I could think about was locking that shitty door behind me and taking my right as a conqueror out on all three of them. The chubbier redhead might've been able to throw a punch, I could tell from her accent she was from a rougher strata than the brunette or bottle blonde, but ultimately I was the predator in that room. My mind was nothing but a hot mess of pornographic violence, culminating in a tyrannosaur-like screaming that would come from my gullet as my engorged member exploded deep inside each of them.

I never heard back from them and whenever I smell fish oil I get an erection.

I love OpenBetAI token.. All the drama, the memes, the community surrounding it, it's really something. But what I love most about it is knowing that in couple years I will be a billionaire. It's not even a 99% chance, it is quite literally guaranteed. As a result of that knowledge, I stopped showering and brushing my teeth over a year ago. There is simply no reason for me to do it when I know I'll be rich. I will be fucking whores every night and laughing as they're throwing up from my disgusting, stinky body and mouth. As they kiss me on my rotten teeth, or suck my stinky, 2 year unwashed hog. It will be quite something. In fact I am already seeing effects of my stinky adventure. Yesterday I went to a shop to buy some cheese and make a stop at McD's for a big mac and the cashier at the store was visibly gagging at the smell of me and trying to hide it. Other customers were standing like 5 meters behind me. It was truly hilarious. And none of them have any idea of my guaranteed, future riches. They must already be so jealous of me. The stinkiest billionaire ever.................https://openbetai.io

Years ago, I had a phone interview for a salesman position. It would have been fine, but at that time I was working at clubs until 2 in the morning most days, and I had gotten used to that sleep schedule. For some reason, this interview was at 7 in the morning, and so when I did it, I was like a zombie and had like no energy. Failed it and didn't get the job obviously, but I went back to bed and slept more afterwards
