GAH!! Stupid interview questions!</div>

LMAO, yeah....I remember when I took a Communication Applications class in high school, and we had to play out a job interview with our teacher....I remember her asking me a retarded ass question like "if you were a tool in a tool box which tool would you be???"......fortunately my current employer didn't ask me any questions like that when I interviewed for this job.

Yeah I've gotten close to cursing people out when it comes to music arguments...back when I was attending junior college me and a group of guys would get into them all the time.

GAH!! Stupid interview questions!</div>

I was reading an article on how to do a good interview and when they ask you questions about your weaknesses your supposed to make them sound positive. For example, 'one of my weaknesses is sometimes I overwork myself' or 'sometimes I'm too detailed in my work'. Stuff like that.

The Stones do.
 
Although I haven't hear a lot of their material from what I have heard I don't really care for the Stones that much.
 
Good, 'cause they stole everything the Beatles did.
 
I haven't heard much of them either, although "Sympathy for the Devil" was a cool song.

I've only had 2 job interviews but I just BSed them like crazy. Luckily I'm good at making sh*t up on the fly because thats what my dad has taught me to do since a young age. Got both jobs the day of the interview. They do ask the most retarded questions though and I'm guessing the "what are your weaknesses?" one probably comes up in most interviews. Basically you're right you just spin everything positively even if it sounds completely unrealistic.

And then in retail after you get the job you have to go through all these stupid little course things on the computer. The woman who hired me was like "well I used to tell people to answer honestly but the last 3 people haven't passed to just say what they want to hear" which I would have obviously done anyway.

95% of what I say in interviews/resume/application is a lie. When I get asked why I quit my last job I say that I was pursuing college. PSYCHE. I leave off the job I got fired from on my resume. I have an interview today and I shall bs through that as well.
 
Had an agency interview today, and I have actual interview at a clothing store tommorow. Hopefully I get the clothing store job with full-time hours cause I hate working in warehouses. The agency lady already told me I can start the warehouse job on Thursday, but I told her I'd get back to her, cause I want to see how the interview goes first.

I've had 3 or so interviews in my life, and only one of them has been hard. My first job, the interview was basically "what is your greatest weakness and strength" and what not, and my second job wasn't even really an interview, he just asked me what skills I had, and what the last movie I had watched was (lol it was for a movie theatre).

I had another interview at a clothing store back in November or so, and I completely ****** up that one. It's the same questions in every interview, they just spin it at you in different ways, and it basically depends on how you handle it; your demeanor, voice, expressions, and confidence level can pretty much get you the job.

This reminds me of Will Smith getting that job in Pursuit of Happyness despite coming to the interview in a wife-beater and pants with paint stains on them.
 
THE DREAM needs your help

I just created my new myspace profile but for some damn reason it's not letting me post any songs or videos on my profile page. I'm trying to use certain html codes, but none of them are working....does anyone know of a html code that I can use to post either videos or songs?
 
I tried removing the object tags, but I'm still experiencing trouble these are the codes that I'm using

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"><embed src="URL" autostart="true" loop="-1" width="46" height="25"></embed><font face="Verdana" size="2">MySpace Codes</font>

and

<embed src="URL" autostart="true" loop="true" width="0" height="0"></embed>

and

<bgsound src="URL" loop="-1">
 
nevermind I figured something out....ATLiens is now blasting on my page.
 
I got the job I interviewed for pending my drug test results, which should be good yayyy.
 
Yeah I've had quite a few interviews now over the last 3-4 weeks, about 5 or 6, so I'm sort of getting used to the whole process now. I think you just have to go in there with this demeanor that you're in charge of the interview, some one else may be answering the questions, but you're owning the answers, and thats what counts.

Agreed. I was taking the position that both of them suck. They've got legacies built on lies and horrible music, especially Zeppelin. They're the Pat Boone of rock music.
 
Well I just got home from another interview, felt really good about this one, walked away feeling like I had a really good chance of getting it. It's in a perfect location too, not far from home, and still close to the gym and stuff.

There was a group of hot American girls on the bus ride home, yummy, hahaha. Takes me back to when I hooked up with a chick from Oregon earlier in the year, she was really cute too. You guys breed em' good over there, lol.

I went to see them with my ex (not the one I talked about earlier in this thread) back in high school, and I still maintain that it's the greatest concert I've been to in my life. We went with one of my friends and his girlfriend, and we all met up beforehand and ate shrooms, hopped in his truck, and started to peak right when we rolled up to the concert. We tripped for the entire show, really feeling the energy of the band and enjoying being on the floor and flowing together with the crowd.

(BTW - If any of that sounded rambling, I apoligize. I shoudn't be on the computer atm, but I'm heading out, and I went to turn it off, and this caught my eye.)
 
It sucks I have to work on my birthday. It's not like I can go out tonight since I gotta work early tomorrow too.

As for bursaries, I missed the April 2nd deadline, or whatever it was, to apply for the bursary @ Waterloo. There's some that you can apply once you get on campus I believe, and I'll probably do that once I get there. I just wanna move out at this point lol, I'm pretty sick of being in this city.

What Uni are you going to by the way?</div>
I eventually picked Western for Business.
 
Should've taken that day off like 2 months in advance like I did Mike.
 
Dang man, on Myspace, why isn't anyones Projected Playlist working?

Pfff, I had to work on December 23, Christmas Eve, Christmas, News Year's Eve, the day after Thanksgiving (aka Black Friday, the worst day to work retail).

I just got my tickets to the the Titans vs. Texans game in the mail....I think this will be annual event that I waste 100 bucks just so I can see my boy Vince whoop up on the hometown team.......
 
I went to play basketball at a local High School, and there was a kid that looked exactly like Umair. Jokes aside, I'm serious. He even had that mustache, you previously rocked.
