I have an interview this week. If I'm HONEST, I'll tell the panel that in my spare time I enjoy drink and having sleepovers at boys' houses and sometimes my good girlfriends.

If I tell them them why I want this position, it will be the lure of money and better benefits.

Why I should get the position over others? Cause I look good and I'm slick.

Should I maybe work on substance?

I suggest you lie out your a$$.

I had a friend once that interviewed for a job. They asked her if she ever did any drugs. She told them she smoked pot once in awhile. When she didn't get the job, she couldn't understand why. She said "I thought they would appreciate my honesty."laugh

With out being an out right liar, dress the pig up as pretty as you can.

The last job interview I went to was out of state, and turned out to be a group interview. So instead of just one new person to impress, I had a group of people from that department, all dressed essentially the same. One guy was falling asleep!!! Turned out it was already scripted (except the sleeping guy) and from what I've read designed to provoke stress, to see how I would react.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Sometimes I wonder if getting through a job interview has anything to do with the job or just a whole submission procedure.

I once went for a job interview handling customer care....the Complaints Department.....surprised Can you imagine me, in the Complaint's Department?????rofl

When asked if I was comfortable speaking on the phone, I said yes....when asked if I had any experience.... I handed them my phone bill, with a smile.

It took a beat or two....then the interviewer roared with laughter...asked how many kids I had....I said four, and he said the job is yours.
