so i applied for a job a few weeks ago at an electronics store that sells electrical components, computer components, dvd players etc kinda like radio shack i guess.
i just got a call and i have an interview tomorrow, does anyone have any tips on getting the job? i fuck up nearly interview i go to and haven't had a job in about 2 years :cranky:
i really want this job cos i need some money to help me through university and to buy cool shit.
i guess i need to walk in there confident, firm handshake, look them in the eyes(i always look away allot) and just show them that i could do the job(which i could, it looks piss easy)

Yeah do just what you said. I mean it doesnt sound like that difficult of a job, any dolt can stock shit. Just show em you can be reliable, i think thats important on many lower scale jobs. You dont need amazing skills just the ability to show up on time. Haha
edit: Yeah man a good fuck before ya go will calm them nerves

Dress nice and bullshit to tell them what they want to hear, don't make a big deal about it or you will get nervous so stay calm and show them you have a personality.

nah you cant set the standards very high man...you gotta make sure they have low expectations coming in so as to not confuse you with someone who wants to do work.

MDMA, and hug everybody a lot. Or candyflip and have a Cosmic Job Interview, they'd be impressed at that

ghey questions like 'why do you want to work for us?'
the correct answer to that question is 'i like working as part of a team and this place seems like it has a nice friendly atmosphere'.
they want to make sure that you're not into 'social politics' as my boss calls it. this is their primary concern, that you're not a dick that's gonna bitch and backstab and kick up shit because you don't like being told what to do, or somebody ate the last cookie etc.
remember, you're reliable, friendly and easy to get along with, you don't mind pressure and enjoy being kept busy. you are comfortable with responisibility and eager to learn.
