10 Job Hunting Strategies Guarenteed to Get You Arrested

Conventional Advice: Look professional

This advice basically boils down to the single sentence: “Dress like you’ve got the job you want, or better.” Which is fine, if you want to look like every other Johnny Bowtie or Sally Pantsuit. You can do better than that.

Turning out your pants pockets for an interview is also a no-no.

Unconventional Advice: Look interesting

You want your outfit to cause your interviewer to think, “Holy shit, I bet this guy has some good stories.” The daily grind of office life can get a bit boring, so having someone in the office who’s really knowledgeable about highway rest-stop culture or your town’s Malay machete fighting scene will add a real air of excitement to the work day. Here’s some ideas for outfits that should give you an idea of the potential here:

* Naked
* Sandwich Board warning of doom/incredible savings
* Covered in feces (yours)
* Covered in feces (local politician’s)
* Batman
* Batman covered in feces (yours)

2. "When asked what your 'greatest weakness' is, break a piece of furniture with your bare hands."

"Because fuck weakness, that's why. You're strong, stronger than this chair, stronger than anyone. You're nobody's fool."

I really, really hate that "What's your greatest weakness" question. My answer is always "I have good multi-tasking skills, but not great multitasking skills."
