I have my first job interview tomorrow. I'm scurrrred, mainly because I'm a doooosh and don't know how to talk to people. I hope I do okay..

minimandy14 - 10-12-2005 at 05:08 PM

Oh I hope you do ok too! Were is it for?

Evil - 10-12-2005 at 06:54 PM

Wherehouse Music

poobs - 10-12-2005 at 07:56 PM

My buddy Matt worked there during high school!! He used to tell me about all of the gross guys that would rent porn..:duh:

poobs - 10-12-2005 at 07:57 PM

Oh fuck! And good luck!! Just relax and be yourself..The interviewer is just another person..Don't let them make you nervous..And think of your answers now!!

What is your biggest strength/weakness?
What is your biggest accomplishment?
What did you dislike about your last job?

Noisemonster - 10-12-2005 at 09:57 PM

is this a cd store?
so, good luck with your interview! like poobs said, they're at least all human. so there's not so much to fear, they don't wanna kill you. tell them why they should hire y o u , for example you are very interested in music / know a lot about it and so on.

TurtleEnterprises - 10-12-2005 at 11:05 PM

THIS IS A PERFECT JOB FOR YOU GOOD LUCK SHOW OFF YOUR MUSIC SKILLS HOW YOUR INTO ALL TYPES OF MUSIC, BEST OF LUCK BE YOURSELF. LIKE POOBS SAID BE READY TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. I KNOW ITS LATE SO WHATS THE VERDICT HOW DID IT GO?

TurtleEnterprises - 10-13-2005 at 01:32 PM

gooooooooooodluck!

Evil - 10-13-2005 at 02:51 PM

i think it went pretty well. i hope, at least. they still have more interviews and whatnot, so they'll call me some time next week if they're interested. oh gosh. i don't know what to do now.

poobs - 10-13-2005 at 03:13 PM

CELEBRATE!!! Any tough questions? :rolleyes:

minimandy14 - 10-13-2005 at 04:51 PM

Awe that would be a kick ass job! It'll be just like Empire Records! But not really. . . .I hope you got it!

TurtleEnterprises - 10-13-2005 at 10:14 PM

Yea Evil whta did they ask you?

Evil - 10-13-2005 at 10:27 PM

First I had to answer all these weird "personality" questions with this weird phone thing and, well, that was weird. And then pretty much the same questions that were on the application. Then there was some what kinda music are you into/if hired, how could I help the company/stealing is bad sort of questions. Ummmm oh, he got out this gift card and told me all about it, and then had me pretend he was a customer and I had to "sell" it to him. And there was probably a lot more questions that I forgot about. I must say, him being hot made the interview a lot more fun. And then two hours after my interview, my brother had one, which is pretty funny. It'd be neat if we both get it.

poobs - 10-14-2005 at 06:14 AM

I LOVED working with my brother..Good luck to you both!! Was the phone test thing a "truth test"? I had to take one of those a looong time ago when I was going to try to work at Kinko's..I failed..:duh::lol:

Evil - 10-14-2005 at 10:34 AM

it had some weird have you ever told a lie and do you always tell the truth shiz and then a whole buttload of other crap. let's hope i passed.

minimandy14 - 10-14-2005 at 12:35 PM

Yea that would be coool. I worked with my sister at my last job, it was intersting, because you get people that are like "SHE'S YOUR SISTER?! WEIRD!" but yea, it's coo'

poobs - 10-14-2005 at 03:19 PM

I don't know if you're like "actively" looking for a job, but the first interview is always the hardest..If you go on more, they'll be a piece of fucking cake!! ;)

minimandy14 - 10-14-2005 at 04:16 PM

Oh man, speaking of interviews I hope I get the one with Channel 3! I applied yesterday. . . .it was an effin' weird day. . . .

Noisemonster - 10-17-2005 at 02:49 PM

aaaaaahh!! tomorrow i have an interview at that hygienic institute! i'm nervous.. :no:

poobs - 10-17-2005 at 05:00 PM

You'll be fine, Noise..Just walk in there like you own the place..They'll throw the job and tons of money at you.. ;)

minimandy14 - 10-17-2005 at 05:47 PM

Oh that'd be sweet.

Evil - 10-17-2005 at 06:59 PM

good luck!

Noisemonster - 10-17-2005 at 09:31 PM

Soooo??? How did it go??

minimandy14 - 10-18-2005 at 02:47 PM

Well I think we could ask YOu the same thing too poobs!

poobs - 10-18-2005 at 03:06 PM

Me? Why? I wasn't interviewing for anything..

Noisemonster - 10-18-2005 at 09:28 PM

hmmmm, i'm not sure.. the interview went kinda well, though they had some questions i thought i could not 'satisfy' them. all in all it was ok. but there were 7 or 8 others that they interviewed for that job, so i don't think that i'll get that job. let's see, maybe i'll be lucky..

JunoRedneck - 10-20-2005 at 12:25 PM

Wouldn't YOU like to know!


They still havn't called back for the job at the station :no:

Evil - 10-21-2005 at 02:30 PM

I called and they said they still had a couple more interviews, but they had already hired one person. I doubt I'll get it. And I almost don't want to, I'd rather my brother get it.

Yeah those are called "Behavioural Descriptive" questions. They're a little daunting but not so bad when you're prepared for them. You can google it and there are samples and advice on how to answer them.. if that helps?

Evil - 10-27-2005 at 11:49 AM

anyone here ever worked for a catering business?

minimandy14 - 10-27-2005 at 01:05 PM

I haven't but it sounds like it would be fun fun.

poobs - 10-27-2005 at 03:26 PM

I have!! I worked the Emmys!!! And I met a really fucking hot guy..Ahh..It was so much fun..It's a lot of work and your feet are steaming by the end of your shift, but it's pretty good money and a lot of fun..:yes:

minimandy14 - 10-27-2005 at 05:50 PM

AHA! I was right! hmmm hot guys are nice ;)

Evil - 10-27-2005 at 08:14 PM

i applied at one today...we shall see.

poobs - 10-27-2005 at 09:00 PM

I interviewed today..And I got the job..Damn I'm good..:cool2:

7cut - 10-28-2005 at 06:24 AM

Originally i would have been due to move to
Vienna next Tuesday and guess what....last
Monday (not this one, the Monday before) I
call one of the guys there and heīs like "oh
i thought you should know! iīm sort of in debt
and it looks sinister. i canīt employ you after
all!"....erm, he tells me that like not even two frickinīweeks before starting off when i have found
a flat already and second job at Klein Records
and everything has been set? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
this is superassholic. now i canīt move
to Vienna before i have found a second
job but urgently need to start off there
at Klein....at least January 05. shite.
itīs a bad feeling when your bank account
is not getting bigger only smaller and
smaller with no money coming in.
so at least iīm getting an internet
connection next week and can
work freelance for a few people.
