Thats why I love face to face interviews. If you walk in dressed nice and confident you already are in good graces.
you just have to watch and listen to it more.
Gorath, I would have just started laughing uncontrollably, then weeping, then I’d set my controller down, if I were in your shoes lol.
youd be wearing checkered vans
In the Romero movies " When Hell is full the dead shall walk the earth " is the sole explanation as to why the living dead appear. It has no ecclesiastic roots or connections to anything said in the bible. It just sounds cool.
Talk slow, slower yet. That’s all you need to know.

Agreed.
Did well on the phone interview, completely blew one question but overall did well.
I used Boel’s advice mainly.
sweet i bet you get teh job.
Had a phone interview Monday…that didn’t go well.
Fuck…this whole job search was been slowly killing me.
Phone interview? Never had one and personally I wouldn’t want one. If I am looking for a new job I would want to see the people I am going to work with first, especially the people interview you, since usually they are the leaders.
Just had a interview last week myself, dress up, sit down, gets surrounded and answer questions, the normal. Got the job.
Ya, handshake, eye contact etc. Very important.
i’ve always flattered myself that if i can get an interview, i can land the job. so far it’s held up, but i haven’t put it to the test too often.
i think the hardest part for a lot of people is actually getting to the point where you land an interview
Phone interview is level 1.
In person interview is level 2.
It’s not that you are good/bad on the phone/in person - it just means if you’re being interviewed in person, you’re already on the short list of people they’re considering. If it’s through the phone then it means you are not on that short list yet.
yeah it is a cool explanation, but it’s vague. i can see why bio-zombies are getting more popularity though. people need answers, yo.
when i say “survival” i mean survival by any means necessary. that most definitely means fighting back at times.
again, DF wouldn’t count as horror beyond the initial shock because it becomes melancholy afterward. The Walking Dead comic doesn’t even really show many zombies anymore, and focuses more on conflicts inside the survivor group.
For me it depends on the writer’s/director’s intent to scare or not.
fuck, I totally meant to wake up relatively early today and get on that job search thing, but I ended up sleeping in till 3:30.
Yup. Here’s how roughly how the hiring process works.
First, software scans through thousands of resumes for various keywords. Ones that don’t have those keywords are filtered out.
Of the remaining hundred of so, human eyes comb through it. If there are typos or mistakes, you’re done. You especially can’t afford to be sloppy, given how many unemployed people are clamoring for the same position.
Note you can bypass these first two steps if you have connections. This puts your resume at the top of the pile, so you don’t need to compete with thousands of others. Its a huge advantage.
So now you get to the phone interview. At this point, they figure you’re not a complete incompetent moron, but the phone screen is to make absolutely sure.
If you pass that, then they’ll bring you in for an in person interview. Interviews are time consuming and a pain for employees, so they’re only going to do this if they got a good impression of you on the phone screen.
I’ve given interviews and been interviewed. Here’s basically what goes down in a tech interview. You start off by throwing the victim a softball question, to put them at ease. “Tell me about your current job”. Then you give them some easy questions to build up their confidence. These slowly ramp up in difficulty. The goal here is to crush the victim’s soul and see if he can handle the pressure. So the trick is to think out loud. The last thing you want to do is freeze up and choke. Keep talking, ask smart questions about the problem given, and don’t give up. Even if you do bomb, its OK.
I’ve gone through so many interviews, and every time I fail a question, I write it down in my notebook, and work out the solution later on my own free time. My notebook has gotten quite large. There are also books and websites with commonly asked interview questions. Studying these is also invaluable. I typically even go so far as to do “throw away” interviews, where I interview at places that I have no intention at working at, just so I can gain some extra practice. Interviewing is a skill, and the more you do it, the better you get. Every time you fail, you just have to study what went wrong, just like in a fighting game, and work on improving those areas.
One gay thing unique to tech interviews are the retarded puzzle questions that they ask. “How would you move mt fuji?” “How many golf balls fit in a 777?” “Why are manhole covers round?” Me personally, I never ask that shit, and if I did get asked that shit at an interview, I’d probably walk out.
the only phone interview I’ve ever had was with a lawn and garden company but it turned out I applied for the wrong position so it never came to be.
I think a manhole cover is round so if it falls over, it’s less likely to fall flat than a square or rectangular cover would.
I just liked that question.
Earlier today I was playing mvc3 with a resident evil fan. He mentioned that the voice acting in the capcom games has come along way since the good old days.

“don’t open that door” lolz Bad voice acting is always good for a laugh.
One piece of advice on phone interviews: the reason the interviewer asks easy questions is to observe how you react to obvious questions. For example, if somebody asked you where you live, you usually won’t answer the question by stuttering, repeating the question, or by acting nervous-you’ll usually answer pretty confidently because the answer is obvious.
Later on in the interview, the interview usually asks you questions like “have you ever gone into work drunk, have you ever stolen, got fired, etc.” The interviewer will try to find differences in the way you answer that question from the obvious questions. If you act at all nervous by stuttering or repeating the question, you most likely won’t get to the next stage. * Try to answer all questions the same way no matter how obvious or silly the questions seem.* That way, if you lie or exaggerate later on, the interviewer won’t be able to tell :karate::karate:
it’s round so it won’t fall through the hole no matter how you turn it.
not enough information to answer golf balls in a 777 question. didn’t say how big the 777 was or how big the golf balls were.
