Ms Hair Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Just had an interview, god they are awful things! It would be a miracle if I got it. Does anyone have any unfortunate/funny tales of how they've screwed up interviews to make me feel better? I didn't do anything funny or worth writing to make you laugh however, just gave the sort of answers that make you sound like your brain is made of mush and probably didn't address what they were asking anyway! I should go drunk to my next one, I don't seem to find nerves a problem after a few glasses of rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply get Mr Hair to ask you some awkward questions; in a similar vein to your role-play nights in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a formula that's gonna take some beating! I don't think the naked thing works as the people aren't intimidating they were nice female first school teachers. If I'd fallen over and grazed my knee they would have been like a mam.Ps I mentioned role-play in the interview. I doubt if it's the kind you mean though.

Pencil_Neck Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 You may need to try a career change.1. Always read the job spec2. Hope the employer has a good HR dept3. Expect the unexpected4. Anti sweat devicesI once had an interview for a Validation/Documentation Officer (QAspeak for glorified paper knacker) & was asked several questions on analytical equipment & training of science geeks....If the personnel department had bothered to check my CV I wasclearly not suitable as an analytical chemist guru. Twenty five minutes of "what he speak in"....."I see you don't have a MSC".Magic......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
