got an interview today

[Marc]

I never ever said to base appointments on that did I? The fact is, when you first meet a person and throughout the interview, you process subconscious thoughts. They are a) at the way you present yourself (which someone already mentioned) and b) the way you come across to the interviewer. It is known that a watch symbolises a good keeping of time. I believe some research conducted on it proved that to an extent. A metal watch shows professionalism and trust.

As for the hands above the table. It symbolises the idea of trust in a job, before you are doing the job. It's as if the interview subconsciously sees you keeping your hands in view as an honesty factor, which can also relate to trust.

As for the long sleeves, I thought it would be pretty self-explainatory. You take someone far more seriously and professionaly sub-consciously.

Ofcourse, the fact I go to a top school which feels the need to present us with people who study this type of stuff because we're not a bunch of inable twats, could mean I'm wrong eh?

fucking hell. Dont believe everything they tell you at school!

So if I go for an interview in the middle of summer and decide to wear short sleeves, they interviewer wont take me seriously? You really dont have a clue. Im pretty sure interviewers dont give a flying fuck if you have your hands in view or not "sorry Marc, we arent going to offer you the job because you didnt put your hands on the table, even though you have the better qualifications and work experience than the other candidates"

Agreed, These kids think they know it all, as did we when we were at school, however the real world is far different from what they teach you.

I can't wait for bugz to go to an interview real off a list of educational achievements but stumble on the questions like "What kind of management style would suit your way of working" with "eerrr ummm" hehe!

 

[eggy]

No offence eggy but you're a bit of a twat sometimes .

I'm sorry, but if you're going to go on about your "top school", then come up with words that don't even exist, I'm going to point it out.

To be fair to Bugz, that's not what he's saying at all.

He's saying that you look more professional with long sleeved shirts - which is true. He's not saying you won't get the job if you wear short sleeved shirts, he's just saying your professionalism increases with the longer sleeves.

 

[Gamah]

If: "shirt" + "Sleeve" = long ((Professional))
Elseif: "shirt" + "Sleeve" = Short ((Thug))

Not what I said at all. Stop putting words into my mouth and then trying to make me look stupid. It just backfires.

Everyone in their right mind knows an employee won't not give you a job because you don't wear long sleeves. Considering you've known me a good couple of years now, I would have expected you to know that I am not that stupid.

What I suggest Marc, is you drop your childish remarks against me. You didn't seem to mind me when I was logging my bard onto play with your BM did you?
I also suggest you re-read my replies, since I think you fail to grasp what I am saying.

Or, ofcourse, if you wish to forget my existance over your DAoC time and continue to address me in a immature way, then go ahead. I won't be as formal anymore then.

 

[Bugz]

To be fair you don't look the social type Bugz, so I agree with Haarewin. This is not an insult it's an observation!!

Ahh Gamah, your inability to produce an arguement makes you search the forums for pictures. How very very sad.

If your interest in a more recent pic of me, then I'll be happy to give you one, since you love playing e-stalker with me.

Personally, I fail to see how you posting a 2 year old pic of me is suppose to harm me? Am I suppose to feel embarassed? Inferior? Afterall Gamah, you do earn a slightly above average wage.

 

[Gamah]

Congratulations Bugz,

Not anyone could spout off old, tired arguements and think they are coming up with something original.

If you read my post (yes actually reading before you go off on some rant) I said it's not meant as an insult... feel free to post your picture here, as for sending it directly to me? No thanks..

How original a wage "insult", you have no idea what I earn, so basicly you're acting on insufficient information to make conclusions? Not very "intelligent" and I would expect better of someone who goes to a "top school" and has an ego the size of Britain

Actually, if you had failed to read my post (I don't know why you didn't - were you playing e-stalker with someone else whilst earning a slightly above average wage?!), you would have noticed that the talk was actually by a businessman/researcher who is probably alot more successful than you.

I know a fair bit about employment. Helping to write some professional CV's and getting a lecture from a top businessman has kind of helped me.

Personally Gamah, every arguement you try to have with me is always added with a picture of me, an abusive comment (they rly hurt me :<) or some kind of assumption. It's funny because you seem to think you get a point across when really you just dig a deeper hole for yourself? How the hell can someone so foolish earn a slightly above average wage?

Awwww, Gamah, you fail to remember our convo.

The one where you was spilling out your life story and your earnings and I said 'you earn a slightly above average wage - gratz? and you replied with 'yes, but its more than you earn' (or sommet or other).

I have no idea why I even argue with Gamah to be honest.

His best skills seem to be searching old threads and coming up with outragous assumptions.

You said you have a paper round - that is not knowing a fair bit about employment, and neither is having a lecture. You are 16, you haven't worked enough to know 'a fair bit' about employment. Nothing beats experience.

What employer is ever likely to say "Wow! what a wonderful CV! Oh look, it says they had a lecture from a top businessman! They must know a fair bit about employment - I'll hire this person right away." ?



edit: hope the interview went well - English -

To be honest "bugz" you have no clue how the real world works, if you think you will earn any more than I do at my age you are gonna be in for a big shock, I am betting you think you will roll out of uni and walk into a job paying 30k+ a year, news flash jimbo that's not going to happen.

I am just sad I won't remember you in a few months let alone 5 years to laugh when it happens.

Even bringing up wages on a forum where a lot of people are on minimum wage or unemployed is amusing. I should forgive you though because you are only a little boy still and you have so many lessons of life left to learn. Do you actually think someones wages make any difference to the quality of a person, or because I earn such a "poor wage" (I mean over national average at 21 fuck man, may as well quit and work at mc d's) My arguments have any less relevance than if I earned 50k/year? Thats a very immature view on the world and just proves you have fuck all clue about anything outside of school life. I know (as I am sure many people in work do) thick shits on 60k/year because they have worked for a company for 20 years and brown nosed it up while the sods down on a mere 20k+ /year are the intelligent ones.

I am also sure this Businessman/researcher is more successful than me at present, I also am sure he is a damn sight older than 21. You need to pull your head out of your arse and take a look whats around you.

Amusing how you bring up personal insults to try and win arguments, apparently thats what I do too, but yet you claim to be sooo more mature and intelligent than lil' old me..heh ;d

Anywhoooooo...wasting my time on some 16 year old kid that is clueless to how the world works has become tiresome. However just remember this Bugz, when you come out of Uni in 5 years and end up working for £6/hour for like a year while you try and find a low payed job at the bottom tier of a company..Mines a Big Mac with fries, and don't get your fucking greasy hands on my suit.
