No.

*stares*

I said good ones.

 

[Japansurfer]

Going though CVs today, fun.

This is funny - was just about to post how incredible some cv’s are (12 pages long!! Spelling errors….) and how bored and frustrated I am looking at the same repeated crap!!!!

Can this day get any worse

 

[Wand3rlust]

I said good ones.

Uh huh....

 

[metrifonate]

Uh huh....

Nice horns

 

[SlimSwan]

Yes, but you never know until the interview

I interview terribly.

We work on competency based scenarios where you can promise the world and get the job even if you're as useful as a chocolate teapot...

 

[LondonSnap]

This just confirms your deviant credentials.

Whether meant or not, I'm taking that as a plus

Interviews are all about preparation and confidence. I always expect I’m the right person for the job when going in.

If I can ever give one bit of advice to anyone having an interview it is to have confidence and believe the interview is two way… of course you are being interviewed but almost as important you need to figure out if they are a group, a company and people you can work with/for. That takes the pressure off a little.

It's also helpful if the people conducting the interview know how to do the job they're recruiting for.

I'm aware that some public sector organisations use a form of bingo during interviews - key words and phrases get ticked off when uttered by the poor candidate, at the end of the process the ones with the highest score go forward -suitability and experience don't matter, as long as you've said the magic words....

 

[TiedbyChris]

Morning (just about)

The stories I could tell about interviews, none of which could be described as Literotica in any way! I agree it’s a 2 way process and there was definitely one where I really wasn’t interested in the role and they really didn’t want me either.

 

[Wand3rlust]

Not the first time I've heard that...

This.

There's a running joke that you could explain how you putting paper in the printer could get you a management role if you successfully explain how you considered the powers and policy around the printer, how you understood that it would benefit the organisation and you challenged your colleagues as to why they didn't fill it themselves.

I cannot. I'm there to do a job, I do it well, I don't need to explain my actions in a 45 minute slideshow presentation with questions and answer session.

I just want to open a dungeon.

In what context?

 

[Wand3rlust]

In what context?

Most of them.

 

[Japansurfer]

Ok officially bored. Lunch time … can’t rven be motivated to go for food

 

[metrifonate]

Leftover chicken satay I made last night.

 

[Japansurfer]

Cuppa soup and banana. Playing phone games when I should be doing performance reviews and interviews. Motivation is low

Very very old skool... places I work I've not been authorised to print for years, decades even. And even when you can, it's always after you've scanned your card so they know what you're printing (as the printer sends it off to IT/Security).

And how did I get the job I just accepted? Agent rang me up, two guys I'll be working with had 100 mins total interviewing me over two days and then offered what I was asking. I've no idea if the job was ever advertised and even if it was I'd never find it. And up until now I've had literally no bites for a new role for well over a year.

Oh we throw money up the wall and then call a funding crisis which the government ignores. Printing tat is what we're best at!

That would work for me!

That's dogs

Oh.

Actually... I don't care, just give me the cheese!
