here's a little job interviewing advice

1. know what the company does. easy-peasy when the company has a website.

2. know what the position does for which you are applying. easy-peasy when you read the description

 

Even if you don't fully understand it, it's OK to ask questions. But don't be frickin' clueless. It takes you out of the running fully. heck, you don't even get to meet the second interviewer.

::sigh:: - this is one of the hazards of using a head hunter. the candidate is offered an interview based on his/her resume, instead of them actively pursuing the role...which means that they may or may not read the info the headhunter gives them!

    was my expression through the first 10 minutes and I ended it pretty abruptly soon after.

    Super Angry  was how I felt after - I am shorthanded, hence the hiring, so I spent precious work time on that!

  • You're hiring? Need a graphic/web/marketing chick? Ya she's 7mo pregnant but she's awesome and works her booty off AND can interview ;)

    had 4 interviews over the summer.. i made it to the end 2 and 1 i had very high connections. the rumor was i was due in september and they didnt want to start a kindergarten teacher who needed to leave for 5 weeks.  it sucks but when your baby comes you just wanna be home with the LO all the time. im happy i didn't go right back to work!

  • I've just decided to go for a cashiering position right now.  I'll wait to go back into management after my Peanut is born

  • Seriously??  I'm on the hunt for a job and I figure interviewees would at least know that much!  I have a job interview on Thursday but I'm already going in knowing they won't pay more than I make now... I'm just doing it for some more interview experience.
