No lie do this and your should get the job.
Heh! It's weird because they asked me questions that dealt a lot with attitudes. One thing that kind of pissed me off (and I'm not even sure it was legal) was they asked me:
1. How old are you?
2. Are you married, or single?
I answered them honestly, although I was tempted to say "Um, you don't have the right to ask me that."
He explained, "The reason I was asking you these questions was to find out how long you've been living in Nova Scotia and what kind of personal committments you have."
I felt a little twinge go off in my head! I kept nodding and smiling...but I was thinking, "What the fuck?? Does he have a right to pry into my life while performing a job interview??"
Well, I walked out of the interview after 20 minutes. The three interviewers shook my hand and said they'd be in touch next week if they want to hire me.
I personally think the interview on my side went really well. I was professional looking (nice shirt, kickass tie, and neatly pressed black trousers), articulate about my goals in life, and I answered all of their questions without hesitation.
But their body language, and tones made me think that they weren't digging me for some reason.
I dunno. I've gone to interviews in the past where I walk out almost pumping my fist in the air because I am so certain I have that job! But I never hear from them again.
Thank you everyone who wished me well!! I felt your lovin lungs inhaling that sweet, sweet cheeba. I was relaxed, not the least bit nervous.
Ahhh, I'm sitting back and enjoying some snacks whilst bathing within the sonic waves drifting through the air and through my body. Enveloping me within their warm and inviting arms.
How's everyone else doin'?
I changed my username from Uninteresting.
