Re: Job interview tomorrow. What should I be doing? How do I prepare for this thing? [Re: Moonshoe] * 1
    #20605650 -

For the love of god, please go do something worthwhile. This job is clearly not for you. Go be an entrepreneur. You say you're so smart - then do something useful with that smartness. You damn well know you'll only be content if you challenge that grey mass inside your skull and you also know that it won't get up at 7 every day to do something you don't believe in. Going for this job is the easy way and you know that in the end it will be too easy to just rely on someone else to define what kind of stuff is worthwhile for you to do.

Show some goddamn spirit and go do something useful and do it right, or stop whining about having too much free time on your hands. You know that option 1 is the only valid choice here.

Yeah, I agree with this.

If you're just trying to fill time, why would you sell it to somebody for less than it's worth? Damn, dude.

You seem like you're imaginative enough to start a small business. Working for yourself can be far more satisfying than holding some random position at a company you don't care about. Lol, I haven't had a "job" in 15 years :lol:

You seem pretty interested in politics. Run in one of your local elections?

Bottom line: Don't get a job unless you ABOSLUTELY NEED ONE.:lol:

In my personal experience working is always better, being unemployed makes it much harder not to feel depressed for me personally.

Just because you're unemployed doesn't mean you aren't working. You can get more work done when not employed.

I agree. I am currently unemployed for the first time in like ten years and I work 8-10 hours a day on housework, cleaning, cooking, yard work, gardening, exercise, meditation, writing, etc.

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?


nah

if you're a skilled tradesman, fuck em and let them suck your dick, you're the one with the skill here (unless it's a large company, be respectful). Your experience speaks for you.

for anything else I doubt it's important enough.

I do think taking almost any job is worthwhile, even if only for a while, if you hate it you can always quit, but the experience and the money you can make is nice and you can still pursue other hobbies after hours.

I have the opportunity to be a full time self employed writer at the moment and just live at home and write books which is a dream of mine, but i want a job too so i can contribute to my family income, even though my wife makes more than enough to support us both and actually wants me to write my books and has offered to pay me a bit to do so, but its important to me to work if I can.

I left a really high paying , prestigious job recently because I felt my boss was horribly cruel, unfair, irrational and mean.

i talked it all out with my wife and she insisted I had to leave because she knows a guy who was in a similar situation who was abused by his boss and he ended up going bald, losing weight, getting ulcers and mental health issues.

I try never to tolerate disrespect just for money. Dignity is important.

I am lucky to have a fully paid off house and some savings so I can comfortably live as a writer.

I also make my wife breakfast, pack her lunch , make dinner waiting for her when she gets home, clean the house, do the gardening and yard work, take care of the cats, work out, meditate, research and write.

I am lucky to have a wife who not only has such an awesome career and makes so much she can easily support our family but also supports me in my dream of being a writer and believes in me.

But I have applied for many great jobs and have an interview coming up for a high level position.

Anyways if you are out of work make sure you see it as an opportunity, not a tragedy. Think of all the things you can do when not employed- meditate, yoga, reading, writing, walking, tanning, painting, etc.

Try to enjoy being unemployed. For me I struggled with depression when I was adjusting to being unemployed for the first time in a decade but now that I have processed it I really enjoy it- I have done a week long silent meditation retreat, an ayahuasca ceremony with shamans, tons of cleaning and organizing and gardening, harvesting apples from the trees, tanning, etc.

My wife loves having a house husband so she always comes home to a clean house and a good meal and a massage and a happy ending.

Anyways enjoy your job or your freedom from employment, wherever you find yourself, and always have faith in yourself. if you dont have a job, draw, paint, dance, make music, learn a new language, even a little video gaming is ok.

:heart:

Ah, no man, sorry, I must have messed up in the reply to field. Good luck with the application; sounds like an interesting and challenging job!

I understand; I hope you can work things out and you'll be able to identify some line of work that will give you inspiration.
