Future Plans - Uni, Work, Marriage etc

[JamesMFan]

These are the things you should say you have/are even if you aren't:

The ability to work in a team or by yourself.
Punctuality.
The ability to work through a problem and find a solution.
Patience.
Politeness
The "willingness to learn" is a HUGE plus.


In my experience they'll rarely do an interview over the phone, it's much more likely they'll want to arrange a meet with you.

As for what to wear? smart shoes, trousers and a shirt will do. A bowtie might be nice

Whenever my manager asks me to do something I go " " and bollocks it up and don't ask for help until way too late. It's a good policy.

[Effulgent]

hmm yes I'm punctual I'll have to learn to wake up early but I'm sure I can do it

THANK YOU SO MUCH! thats helped me a lot

I probably haven't work a blouse since primary school/some of my non-rebelious (aka tucking laces inside my shoes ) High school days, but I'll try and make sure I look smart (I hope they have a size "fat" for blouses )

and buy a bowtie if i have money left over

I'm going to make sure I make at least one friend so I can ask at last ask her/him for help if I get too shy

oh and by the way, my time at the center wasn't bad at all, only lasted 5 minutes and the guy who interviewd me was kinda cute (We'll be meeting eachother at least twice a month )


to those of you not knowing what I'm talking about, yes betty ford

youre goingthere fast too
maybe the job is your punishment

but I was told I would make a good potato peeler!

[JamesMFan]

Oooh a job centre romance

[Effulgent]

He told me that I was the only JC employee I would probably meet from now on (actually I just said "do I have to come to your desk everytime I come here?" and he said "yes " without winking ) he's so romantic

our "relationship" will end though when he accuses me of fraud on our 1000th meeting in 10 years time! the swine! why I never!

also I asked him for his email address so I could email him my cv for him to check and he gave me it, but I think it's wrong he wrote it quickly though in a fit of excitement, and I can't really read his writing so that must be it

I hear you're not suppose to cross your legs during a job interview but I forget why....

[JamesMFan]

Yeah cross your legs if the boss is male and you don't want the job

[z]

that does sound an odd tip
the prison break body language reading made mention of how which leg you cross over the other has a significance though

[JamesMFan]

Left means your a hussie, right means you're a floozie.

[z]

so neither leg would lessen the application success

[ScoobyGroupie]

I think it had something to do with your posture...

[z]

yeah you could easily look too casual disinterested even

[Effulgent]

really? I thought leg crossage was a necessisity! but you could look too casual, or cocky when doing your crossy thing "what is she thinking! crossing her legs in my office! who does she think she is queen victoria?"

[JamesMFan]

A good old ankle cross is just as effective, but don't cross your arms.

[Effulgent]

Thank you, I'll make sure I cross my ankles!

you should have your own tv show, you can be the Gillian whateverhername is of the business world and tell people how to get jobs
