question for people who have a job/ have applied for one.

So when you call people up for a job? what kind of questions do they ask? or is it a straight up "yes, you can apply, we're still looking for more applicants their is no closing date, just give me your address and I'll send you an application form" or is it a straight up "WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS JOB? HMM? WHAT QUALITIES DO YOU THINK YOU COULD BRING TO THIS TEAM? I'LL ONLY ARRANGE AN INTERVIEW IF YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY! OK! GRRR!"

and the interview? OH JEEZE! how do you deal with the questions? what if you can't think of anything when they ask you questions like what are your stengths? what if you haven't researched the background of the company so you can't make up things and say something like "well, you have a good reputation?" what if you're stupid and can't think of anything to say?

ever applied for a job and thought you were under qualified? or couldn't do it at all? if you do get the job is it best to ask for help (my logical side says yes, the other says NOO DEY'LL TINK UR DUMB AND FIRE YOU!) or just go along with it all and pretend you know what you're doing?

wha-wha-whhhhhhhat?

[ScoobyGroupie]

Ditto. *deer in a headlight*

they asked me how id cope with monotony
i think they want you to say the usual team work stuff with enthusiasm and show you want the job rather than are being forced into it by a parole officer .
ask for help at first then copy everyone else

[ScoobyGroupie]

See I tend to copy everyone else and THEN maybe think of asking for help... I don't like asking for help because I'm ever so shy.

[Effulgent]

So memorize your cv?

I'd cope with Monotomy fine (I thought you said Monopoly at first ) actually I think if I had to do the same thing over and over again, it would be better for me, so I'd get the hang of it sooner or later

I'm shy too I think I'd pee my pants if the boss said one word to me, I'd think he was going to critisize me or something.

I'm really not confident at all, I keep finding little problems with each job I want to apply for, like typist or receptionist where I realize I can type, but not spell

[z]

aww people are nice about new nervous types ive found i am

[Effulgent]

GREAT SCOTT! I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HAD A AWW FROM YOU BEFORE

aww thanks

I hope you're right and you're my boss.

but when applying for jobs via phone, they keep all those "hard" questions for the interview right?

also in terms of clothes, trousers and a blouse will do?

[z]

well the truth of what youre about to endure is so horrible i had to sugarcoat it with 'awws'

they might do the full interview on the phone be prepared like its the real one just in case

i wore a full burkha to mine , or niquab as we say in these post big brother times

[Effulgent]

aww thats lovely, you'd be a fantastic boss "ohh kathrerine, all you do is show everyone your new fake breasts and read heat magazine so I have to.. awwww! awww!" If you can't fire anyone you'd be the best boss ever

ok I'll try and do that ;P

what a lovely muslim woman you are, ernold I hope Jack Straw wasn't there to admire your fashion sense

[z]

i'd fall into he trap of trying to be likeable or just sack everyone to get everyones fear/respect

wise policy

thankfully it was before his speech

[Effulgent]

and run the business all by yourself and look like a 90 year old by the end of the first week

if I don't get a job it'll be your fault

during his pro-niqab "I'd like one in black, please!" days ever since John Prescott told him his bum looked big when wearing one, he's been against it!



oh, I'm going to hell

[z]

youre goingthere fast too
maybe the job is your punishment
