I'm going on an interview today. Got any tips?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

I'm not terribly nervous or out of touch, but I figured I'd ask my fellow DUers if they have anything I haven't thought of quite yet. Thanks for your help!!

1. have a few cocktaiLs

and wear your pajamas to the interview.

you want them to think you're easy going.

2. I might have a problem with the PJs.

You see, I'm already at work and I'm wearing my finest suit. :evilfrown:

Cocktails... no problem. Liquor store across the street!

3. If you have time Think (or research) what you'll answer when they..

...ask you "Those" questions like:
What do you consider to be your best qualities?
What is most important to you in life?
Why do you kink you would like to work for this company?

You know what I mean..Those kind of questions can "Throw off" a lot of Folks.

Good Luck!!

4. be upbeat....

and excited about the job.
Just not too excited, if you get my drift.

5. Cuss a lot and say things like fo-shizzle

Show 'em you're down with the kids today and that you'd make a great mentor to teach the young ones entering this company the ropes thus ensuring job security for years to come.

9. Yes, and put on a Leisure suit before you go over there

It will let them know what a hip cat you are

6. 3 hits of LSD 45 minutes before the interview to stay calm

[Zuni]

7. Give them plenty of hugs

and be sure to tell them about your impressive collection of hardcore, bondage porn. They will be impressed. :P

8. So you have a list of questions to ask them?

and I am not talking about bennies questions cuz those should only be reserved for the 2nd or 3rd interview when you know you have the job..

Typically I research the company and I come up with about 5 questions to ask about their line of business and the things they do.

10. If the person giving the interview seems to accidentally

drops a pen or pencil, just look at him and her in the eye and say "I do put up with that psychological profiling crap. You can't tell anything about a person based on whether or not they pick up your pen in this type of situation, especially when you do it so poorly that it doesn't even look like an accident. If you want to throw things and have someone retrieve them, hire a dog."
