Rehearse before important job interviews
    #14301740 - 04/16/11 03:31 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I think i just blew an awesome opportunity for a carpentry job by being unprepared for the interview.

I had 2 days to prepare, and vowed to write down my reasons for leaving my current position, and what i was looking for in this position in addition to the questions i was going to ask. Of course, i didn't do it, but went over it in my head...

I was caught off guard by the casual style of the interview - it was unconventional, almost seemed like the guy just wanted to lay eyes on me and already knew what he wanted to know.

Anyways - I never asked most of the questions i meant to, and i think i came off as uncertain/unconfident which was NOT how i felt going in. I feel like i did not communicate to the employer any of my skillset ...

FUCK. (live and learn, i'll remember THIS, next time)

I'll find out Tuesday/Wednesday.

How do you prepare for a job interview?

Any shitty interview experiences?

ahh tell me about it. Had 2 days notice of an interview, friend who worked there told me it would be very informal. I thought she said 3:30 and she said 3:00, anyways the bus is late and i show up at 3:15 and I didnt have time to grab a dress shirt

so i basically showed up underdressed and late to an interview.. :fail:

Read Knock 'Em Dead. Thats all about how to wow 'em.

Preparation is key. I've had shitty interviews. I was unprepared for many interviews and only once did it work out. Don't wing it. Win it.

The thing is, i am an ideal candidate for the position, but i completely stressed the wrong points - a rehearsal would have kept me on point.

I am really disappointed to have thrown away this opportunity.

My consciousness will not let me live this down.
