What Are You Doing Right Now? (247 Viewers)

@Sheik, I get what you mean, in a round about way, ask them when you will start to show confidence right?

Not really. The reason I used to do that is because over here, when people would interview for multiple openings, they'd take a long time to decide which job to go for. This resulted in the recruiters being annoyed about waiting for them(and in some cases, the candidate in question would choose another job). So that line is just to let them know that you give their job opening the highest preference and you won't hesitate to accept the job if you were selected.

history, the most worthy subject of them all ( )

I'm hoping to start a Heritage Studies course (pending an interview) this September, so It should be somewhat similar I guess. I was doing a Business course some years ago but never really got into it. History was always my favourite subject in secondary school (highschool) so I've decided to just go for it before I'm too old

Ah ok I'm with you. Well the last time I spoke to him I said I was willing to start straight away, and would work any and all hours so hopefully that'll give me preference?

That's good enough. If your interviewer is different from the one you last spoke to, then make sure you emphasize that point again. Leaves a good impression.

It's the same guy I spoke to for the phone interview. Come to think of it, he actually said ''can you come in for a chat'', so it might be pretty informal :xfinger:

In-person is more committal. That's a good sign.

Yes I know that's usually always the case, but it's how he said it. He told me he was going to call me before I decided to call him and that I was on the shortlist with just one other applicant. Then he just asked when I could come in, when would suit me, and we would just have a chat. I'm probably getting ahead of myself but I think have it in the bag, he just needs to make sure I'm not a nutter

 

[swag]

The in person part is always about making sure you're not a nutter.

I'll give you a little clarity that will help you seal the deal: your job, in any workplace, is always to make your boss look good. Convince him of that, and you're home free.

Good luck!

Sound advice Swag, many thanks

I CAN'T HELP it. I have to tell this story that happened just half an hour ago. There is this bitch I met few weeks ago and we would text from time to time. Then She asked me to go for dinner with her tonight. It's normal that people use blackberries a lot these days. But I am cool, so I didn't mind, I would tweet fromn time to time until she is done. Then someone called she was on the phone for like 10 mins. Then again someone called for like 5 mins. Then we went to a bar, and have some drinks. Then again someone called for another 20 mins. I was really annoyed paid for the drinks and left home.

Then texted me asking where am I because I am missing in action. I ignored, then she called, Ignored Then she whatsapped me and asked me where am I, and if I am well, she is worried. Then i texted her back and told her that I left because I was annoyed with her constant talking on the phone.

am I really a lowlife?

 

[Fint]

Not at all man, that's completely unacceptable what she was doing. Pass on it

Forza YOU

These days I see lots of people out on dates and the guy and girl just sit across from each other at dinner, updating and viewing their Facebook feeds. What's the frigging point?

Not only that, if this is your first impression with her, imagine how she'd be if she got used to seeing you...

You have to draw lines. Some people are total electronic amateurs and don't know when to turn off. If the other person is cool with that, that's one thing. But in your case, you were totally justified. You may as well been sitting at the bar whacking off to photos of Aletta Ocean for all she was giving you attention.

cool story bro

 

[LowLife]

I won't reply to all one by one, but now she just texted me and asked me what kind of manners do I have? That's so funny. I don't really do that, I wouldn't normally do, but it was really waste of time and I could have done tons of other things instead... I know she thinks she is hot and bla bla. I mean I really couldn't take that after last night's draw.

I did apologize for leaving without even telling her that I was leaving. But I just couldn't wait for her to end her call.

She would say sorry every two mins, but that didn't change anything. First I thought of going to talk to some other girls next table. But that would have been mean.

No, good for you. People have rubbish manners these days.

I know. I have seen people on date who don't speak a word, they just text each other haha!

cool story bro

Hvala !
