Job interview tomorrow. What should I be doing? - UPDATE: I got the job
    #20601001 -

Its for a part time job (Too much free time, I'm bored)

Since its the first time I actually apply for a job in years, I not too sure what I should be doing.

Like its tomorrow at 6:30AM (yes early) and I'm just here, Monday afternoon, sitting on my couch watching TV...

Now I always see in the newspaper and websites and pretty much everywhere that job interviews are serious things and that preparation is required and the field is large and its competitive and shit... Of course, since getting a job is not at all on my priority list, I haven't even read any of these articles other than the titles and basically, I have no idea what I should be doing other than just talk to the hiring guy in charge of whatever the fuck his title might be (beacause in the working world, titles are apparently a big hit). Technically, the only prep I know I have to do is drink a little less tonight so I can get up early tomorrow... That's all I got. 3 beers instead of 4...

WTF should I be doing other than watch TV to prepare for this? I feel as if I should be doing something. I mean, there's gonna be single mother desperate to get this job to feed there kids and I'm just the guy that wants a job cause I have a few empty afternoons I want to fill. How do I beat that? How do YOU go to an interview and WTF do you say?

Take meth, people like to see that you have the energy needed in a high pace work environment.

I don't think that with the attitude you're displaying currently, there's much in the way of preparation that will really make much of a difference. Maybe consider cancelling the appointment as you'll save both the hiring guy and yourself some time and you could sleep in yourself.

Pretty much what Koraks said, but if you decide you do actually, slightly give a bit of a fuck, you could: iron your clothes that you plan on wearing so you don't look like you just rolled out of bed, you could get your resume, you might want to have an extra copy so you could go over your work history?

You could prepare some questions you might feel are important so you give the appearance you kinda give a shit.

Good luck, and hey, don't over think it.

For most jobs, you want to have a handle on your skill set.  That is, you have to know what you're bringing to the table.  From your post, I assume you have no actual job skills and no education, so you'll have to wing it.  Tell them about how you manage properties and can do handy man stuff.

You want to know about the company, the position you're applying for, and who you'll be interviewing with (if possible).  Relate your skills to the position.  Have something prepped for the standard softball questions about your weaknesses, strengths, how you deal with employees, and difficult situations you've faced.

Be well groomed.  For most adult job interviews, you'd wear a suit but in your case, getting out of sweatpants will be a win.  Do NOT tell them you're a slacker with no ambition that's never achieved anything in his life other than collecting rent.  Would you want to hire that guy?  probably not.

...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge.  It is an indellible experience; it is forever known.  I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.

I have plenty of skills and education. Two degrees. I speak, write, read 2 languages fluently...

As for the clothes, well, that I'm ready for... I'm not a hobo, I got plenty of clothes that it'll make me look smart. Also, I can wing it no problem that's what I did bak when I did actually had and needed a job. You don't become a landlord without an initial investment.

I gotta ask:  what did you think was going to happen at the job interview?  Did you think they'll ask you about skee ball?  Talk about the weather, or what? How can you hold two degrees and not have any idea how to prep for an interview?

I know how interviews goes. I studied business. My homework was to make and give interviews to students.

Its just been so fucking long since my last interview, I kind of forgot a bunch of shit and now my brain is nagging me cause it knows its not as easy as it goes and its making me feel as if I should be preparing much more than what I am doing now.

I have an interview tomorrow too.  The level of preparation you need really depends on what the job is. 

My interview is for a professional level career position full time/benefits/travel the whole deal.  I have notes with bullets for every conceivable question they could ask me; weaknesses, times i have fucked up, background and how it applies to the position, my accomplishments and how they relate, background/experience, etc.

If you are applying for just some job in a restaurant/barista/whatever, then I think your level of preparation is adequate.  Just dress nicely, but not too nice.  Focus on customer service which you should be fine on if you had tenants.  Emphasize your quickness.  Fast learner...

If its a group interview, you'd have to adapt to the way people act there aswell.

You want them to notice you but you dont want to be seen as a cocky motherfucker.

Bring a towel, don't panic, it should be fine

I'll be 100% honest with you guys.

I applied to all the positions they had available and they called me in for an interview.

And that's where I'm at.

Notice how I have no clue which position I am going in for?
