- What rruins yourr chances? Is it best to wearr a shirrt and tie orr just a shirrt? Is it betterr to coverr all tattoos? If you do coverr them may they come back to haunt you if you get the job? Is making hobbies up a good idea to make yourrself appearr to be a fully rrounded hopeful? In the interrview do you go forr 'chatty' orr 'prrofessional'? |
||||||||

Depends what the job is really. What you going for? |
||||||||
|

|

|
|
depends how tasteful the tattoos are. don't overdress yourself. be rather casual, smile a lot, appear rather relaxed but also capable and enthusiastic. |

Worrking in the rrecorrds section of the librrarry. I think it should be prretty laid back, but at the same time I'm not surre being the council and all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The prroblem is I have a dull life and 'down the pub' isn't a hobby, but the shit has hit the fan in the past when it comes to telling lies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that wasn't rreally a rreply to you perrsonally. I'm thinking casual too. Tie orr not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
A suit would be a good impression for an interview even if there is no dress code for the job, plus you need try and put forward that your organised so make sure that you're all neat and tidy and stuff And don't say things like "I'm a DJ so I likes records like innit" |

i never had a job interview...best of luck with it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
coz i've been stuck with the same job since i was like 16. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd hate that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kind of had no other choice...i hope to retire before im 35 anyway :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Dress smart, suit would be advisable, if no suit then shirt and tie is a must. Be relaxed but professional, let them know you have an interest in music but don't go over the top. Make sure you know exactly what the position involves and why you are the best person for the job, also have questions to ask them at the end of the interview. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is just that i don't want to waste my life anymore than that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd rretirre now if I could, but I can't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here...i just hope i figure something out before im 35... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
35 is young to rretirre. i'll be worrking 'til i'm 80, i know it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've only ever had one interview, and they were desperate as fuck to fill the post so i dunno. I'd guess that shirt and tie is a pretty good idea at least, just be friendly, enthusiastic and professional-seeming i suppose. And yeah, have some questions to ask at the end of the interview... don't ask about the pay rate too early. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The last interrview I had forr the job I have, they asked me what temp a frridge should be kept at... and I got it RRIGHT |
||||||||
|
|

Asking about pay for local authority positions is a bit pointless. It is much better to find out what their pay scales are and ask for confirmation of the graded position rather than in hard currency. That way it looks as though you have researched things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's exactly what i don't want to do...i know i'd be sorry when/if i'd turn 70 or 80 and see i had no life...but it would be too late then. ahh :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't rreally have an option in the matterr like 90% of people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but 90% of people is ok with that...don't be one of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know the pay anyway, rroughly, it was in the paperr with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know about that. My dad forr example would love to leave his job but he can't, it's as simple as that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I've never worn a tie or anything fancy to an interview... hell, I usually don't even shave, and I've never been turned down. I came ready with answers to whatever dumb question they have... I find it's good to do a minute or two of research on the company you're applying to, because they always seem to ask me things like, ''what do you know about this company''? And they like it when you know. If I was a job interviewer person guy, I'd like it if someone came in not dressed like faker prick. Come in with an Iron Maiden shirt and I'd be impressed at your bluntness. But I don't know how the minds of those people work, maybe they've been told specifically to look for stupid inconsequential shit like that. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well, once you're in a certain age and have a familly it can get difficult i imagine, but as long as you're on your own and responsible only for yourself, you can try out different things i guess. dunno. i'll let you know when im 35 :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've hearrd that I'm at an advantage because I have a penis. It's a female dominated worrk arrea and they arre crrying out forr male employees. I should farrt and pick me nose I think. I see what you'rre saying Ophecks but a 45 yearr old woman may not have the same apprroach to picking employees as you do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"If I was a job interviewer person guy..." I am ...and done over 300 interviews in the last 2 years. Any question ? I'm your contact ! WORD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What runs through your head if someone walks in with a Led Zeppelin shirt on or something? Anus- I can't understand how 45 year old corporate types think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
be yourself. then at least they will hire the real you straight away, and you will know why. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But they'rre morre likely to turrn me away. And that's trrue, they arre. All I want is money, why else would I want to worrk therre? The talent? NO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Neitherr can I. I can't underrstand how a lot of people think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah then ignore my advice! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I'm an affectionless psychopath |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not talent, heart. man there are so many shitty jobs out there. this one doesn't seem to involve a conglomerate so it's a start. libraries are cool as are records! no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and yeah i'm not talking 'bout a career here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh lorrd I don't know if I want the job. I'd rreally rratherr just not worrk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, yes i hear that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If it pays more than your last job, and it doesn't involve you being beaten with twigs, then go for it. Lie, cheat, murder, create a fictional past, wear a motherfucking suit... fuck it. I don't think anyone REALLY wants to work unless they have some sort of mental problem, but cash is cash, and cash = alcohol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No don't lie. Because if you make up hobbies and your fake hobby is one that they also have and they start talking in depth about it then ou'll look like a nob and a liar. No need. Just talk about stuff you are interested in. |
||||||||
|
|

id give you a dressing advice, but i wont. |
||||||||
