Title: First job interview tomorrow
Post by: Wolfox on October 28, 2013, 11:19:00 PM
for a low paying security position.  :-\ But oh well I need a job. My money has almost run out.

I've been applying for jobs for about two weeks now and this is my first interview.

Real nervous about this since I'm not the most social person. I probably wont sleep tonight.

As someone who has been on the other side of the table, the best piece of advice I can give you is to not forget how much power you have in the situation. Go in thinking you're the solution to their problem. People tend to forget that interviewers need to find someone and that they'll be noticing the person who stands out as the one who recognises their problem. Especially after speaking with several people - all of whom have similar backgrounds and experience. Be the different one (in a good way) that they'll remember.

You have a lot of opportunity to make an impression. Good luck.

Thank you for the advice. Thats exactly what I am aiming to do tomorrow - standout in a good way. I just hope I don't fumble trying with my anxiety.

You will probably get the job as long as you have a pulse. Get out of security ASAP though it is dead end.

once i got on the "inside" and realized how hilariously disorganized and haphazard interviews are... it really took a lot of the mystique away.

hard to be as nervous when you've seen the guy "from the other side" dropping such gems as:

"oh shit i'm on a phone screen in 15 minutes?  what the hell am i gonna talk about?"

"yeah so i kind of missed the last 30 minutes of whatever that guy said"

"all i wrote down in my notes was 'I WANT TO PUNCH THIS CANDIDATE IN THE FACE'"

"i just ask them to explain concepts to me as if i'm evaluating them, so it's not obvious i have no idea what they're talking about"

Go in commando style while wearing loose fitting slacks.  Give yourself a good fluffing in the car in the parking lot.  Take your time before being seated at the interview table.  Give the interviewer every opportunity to see just how might and confident you are in your own cock.  Do this, and the job is in the bag.  Good luck.  :)

Tell them you bench 3 plates to warm up and you have almost 1000 posts on getbig.  If they look at you puzzled, smash them in the face and say, "fuck your low wage job...who the fuck are you to interview me?"
This will make you stand out....in a good way.
Best thing about a job that pays nothing, is it doesn't matter if you're hired or fired...fuck em...haha. It's not like its 100k per year...at that interview, polish up on you fluffing skills....as mentioned prior.

Double dose pre-workout supplement before the interview. Try to get a hold of craze as it has some sort of meth-analogue in it. You will come of as very energetic and eager to get the job. Employers value these characteristics.

Oh, and don't forget to tell them that you're natural and that most Hollywood actors use steroids to look good. Really emphasize that you most likely would outsize Mark Wahlberg if you were on steroids.

Good luck!

LOL, exactly!!!  Most people doing the interviewing have no desire to be there, have squeezed it into their schedule, are not really paying attention, are not always the most knowledgable, etc.....

Also remember that a job description is also a wishlist of what an employer would want in a candidate....most candidates have only 75% of the traits the employer is after....the missing piece is developed OTJ. 

Be confident, be polite, be respectful, be funny (but not too funny), always let them know you're a definite team player (who loves working with people...blah, blah, blah) but also someone that can lead and work independently.   Dress like a professional even if the job is collecting trash.

Thanks guys for the advice. I'm not sure exactly how it went. The interview wasn't much of an interview. Just a few questions about my availability, certs and then I was told to fill out an online application through their website.  She(yes, the interviewer was a she... and she was pretty and seemed easy going) did mention a specific position but it was temporary. She said if I were hired and did well they would try to find me on permanent position. Basically she said she was gonna look over my resume and give me a call back so I'm unsure how it will all work out or when I'll know.

Here's the thing giving me some doubts... 10 positions available... 30 people showed up.

I'll keep looking.

Good luck. This is why I do not get upset at your jabs. I know how depressed and miserable you are and wish you to get back on your feet.

Thanks brother. It's all in jest... and yes some real life frustrations and low carb dieting is involved when I take shots at people here.  But know that at the end of the day it's all love.

Good luck. Most of us have been there at some point in our lives, including the folks who will be interviewing you. I think you will do fine as long as you don't let your nerves get the best of you.

Although you may need the job, don't project this. It is rare that an employer does a mercy hire. Instead do your best to convince them you want the job and that you are the best person for the job. This is exampled by people's success in finding work when they are already employed; then want a different job more then they need it.

Security job so you'll be interviewed by 1 of 2 types: a lesbian or an obese chain smoker. Here's the plan if it's a lesbo first compliment her "I like you sensible haircut." Move to highlight your similarities, "you know I like broads too." lastly, show her you got balls, "you know, if I get this job, I'll bang the dyke right out of you."

If its the fat guy: he's a head case bc he wanted to be a cop but couldn't pass the physical. Tell him you understand his dreams and can help "you know I work out a lot if you can roll your fat ass off the couch, you can come with me." the show him you mean business "your lack of will power sickens me." then bust a most muscular.

Never apologize for being a Security Officer. Remember that you are the last frontier between society and the bad guys. Law Enforcement is a grave responsibility.
