ive got one on friday at a supermarket

anyone know what sort of questions they wud ask so i cud prepare in advance?


has anyone eva had any bad experiences with job interviews?

if its Tesco then im your man...ive been with them for 8 years including a couple as a manager...

Is this your first job? After working in crappy places like markets and fast food resteraunts, I'm never looking back and only aiming high.

If you want to get this crappy job, it's totally easy. Just wear cool clothes, smell good, talk confidently. They ask you what previous experience you have, and what qualifications (lol) so just make up some crap, and smile and look happy and make the interviewer feel good.

Dont take any hard drugs before it is my advise unless you dont want the job then be all means take some innit!

Don't wear a colorful tie. Keep your eyes on the guy/gal interviewing you and ask how much does the job paid (seriously, is an honest and legit question) Ask many questions relevant to the job. And don't forget to shake the person's hand after the interview. And above all....Best of Luck!

And they also ask you what you're planning on doing with your money, so say 'college' or something.

cheers..ive been to a couple of interviews before..but they was stupid group interviews

its only a part time job...im at college most days..i need money!!

If you don't nail this interview in the face, then you need to overlook your life...

Question they seem to love that I always hate is "what are your weaknesses." I usually say something corny like "sometimes I take my job too seriously" or something along those lines.

And this is obvious but don't be late.. they really hate that. If anything I'd go a little early if I were you.

They also hate it when you accidenally cut into boxes of magazines with a razor to open it and slice up all the magazines in the process.

Just be friendly and considerate, be aware of your physical actions (don't figit around and shit), and just be yourself, you're a cool guy Deano, you'll do fine.

I have a job interview soon, too.

I don't what to wear, all my clothes are too slutty

cheers bf

Be aware of cheesy questions like, "Why do you want to work here?" and "What is your greatest weakness?" If they ask the latter one, think of something that isn't really a weakness...or spin it so it's not so bad >.<

they will prolly ask

"Where do you see yourself in 5 years time"

to which you should reply :

In JAIL !

nah seriously check this
site out. all you want is the job

thats a very useful website, i will be on the job hunt soon, so that was very helpful.

thank you!

Don't sit down until they say "Take a seat".

Most important rule.

LOL!

BlackC@t, what kind of job is it for? If it's for a business work environment, black dress pants are OK. Just make sure your thong isn't hanging out of your pants.

Deano, just put this picture at the top of your resume and you should get the job with no problem.

just dont spark up any conversation about your conspiracy theories and i think you'll do fine

...i cant believe you're still having a dig at him about that

Tell them you're a student, and that you need the money for books.

Whatever you do, don't admit what you'll really spend the money on: i.e. beer, drugs and lapdancers.

i can just see it now

deano: well sir, im resposible, detail oriented...yadda yadda yadda...

manager: well dean, i must say i'm quite impressed! so when can you start?

deano: as soon as possible, sir!

manager: ok then, we'll just need you to sign this release form so that we can view your credit history and we will have a drug screening as well.

deano: ok, no problem...just as long as you wont be planting a microchip in my brain.

manager: umm....what?

deano: don't you know of the world-government conspiracy to microchip the population and enslave the human race?

manager: WELL...OK THEN...thanks for your time dean....we'll be in touch....dont call us, we'll call you...take care now! bye bye!

ud bloody love that to happen u wud!!

If your job interview was anything like mine when i wanted to work in a place like that the only question they will ask is "when can you begin?"

^^ Sounds like they did a great job making sure they had the best person for the job.

im just gonna say

'gimme the job or theres gonna be trouble'

that shud do the trick

just bring your guitar and pose for them

Well there was a five minute talk before that, where he probably just looked at how much he liked me, besides the job doesn't take any skill just that you show up on time and put the products where they are supposed to go...

So how did it go deano? (another rhyme, innit)

Yeah, what's the score?

Walk in there wearing a Santa suit with an ax in both hands. Just stare at him. Then slam the axe into the desk.
Then say " Pay me. Pay me now."
He'll pay you. Trust me.
Nobody wants to die.

Did you get it? Hopefully the job you applied for didn't require talking.
