hey luna i'm going for an interview for on-the-job training later at del monte

 

[lunatic59]

Good luck with the interview wynd.

 

[wyndslash]

Thanks Luna. I hope I don't mess up too badly

Thanks Luna. I hope I don't mess up too badly

The key to a good interview it to relax and do most of the talking. And, don't worry about saying the wrong thing.

 

[wyndslash]

It's official. I stink at interviews. I may have downplayed myself too much

 

[Kaat72]

Hey Wynd. Why, what happened?

 

[wyndslash]

I just think I could have did it better

 

[breadnatty08]

Always feel free to follow up afterwards with a thank you letter. It wouldn't hurt to also put in something along the lines of "There's a few more things about my candidicy I'd like to discuss".
Good luck either way!

 

[wyndslash]

Thanks, dread. I haven't even gotten a call for interview from the banks. I must be that pathetic

 

[breadnatty08]

Don't get down on yourself!

Everybody feels that way after an interview unless they offer you a job on the spot. Even if you don't get an offer, follow up with a call and a thank you letter.

Good evening, kids

 

[lunatic59]

Morning Tablet owners!

Wynd... don't stress... you'll get a job. Don't be so hard on yourself.

 

[wyndslash]

Thanks jmar currently I'm looking for an internship as it's an academic requirement

 

[jmar]

Good morning, Mom.

Morning Pops...

Internships here are fairly easy as "employers" look at them as cheap (or free in some cases) labor. I've run a few internship programs in the past and it really wasn't about the candidate as much as it was filling a chair. We have passed over some really bright people in favor of some lesser qualified people at the request of the University in order to give them a chance.

How do the internship programs work there, Wynd?

They prefer candidates with lots of extracurricular activities, something which I fail at lol. Some companies offer them a job after. The work culture here is definitely different. On the interview earlier I was also asked about my family and home life.

You didn't tell them the TRUTH, did you? :vroam:

All kidding aside, we are not allowed to ask a lot of personal questions here. But, It's something you can figure out pretty easily during the interview. It's more to see how reliable and dedicated you are and if you are part of the community.

Yeah, I realise that. That's why I brought it up lol. But it was a group interview and the others did a lot more in their college years than I did.

Yeah, well excessive drinking and sex aren't really the qualifications we look for here.
