…anyone else told some corkers in interviews?
A week ago I was confronted with this spectacularly cretinous oaf of a pox ridden troglodyte who was asking whether I’d got to grips with the ‘philosophy’ of this call centre I’d applied to. I told him I had and I dropped a number of silly phrases including ‘tone of voice’ and ‘emotional intelligence’ to prove this to him - I havent a clue what ‘emotional intelligence’ is (and I doubt I have it anyway) and I don’t really get what a’ tone of voice’ is either - but both these phrases are key tenets in his philosophy of clowndom. I feel so dirty for using these phrases, and I’m I’m sure he’s as aware as I am that they’re total bollocks phrases. At the end of the interview, he made a pass at me and I just smiled back. The whole thing was pointless and a waste of oxygen, but I played along with it nevertheless - because I want monies for cake and grad loan repayments.
I wonder if anyone else has resorted to such lowness in the pursuit of employment?
I’m not good at stuff like that off-the-cuff, but my husband can shovel the crap with the best of them. Years ago, he was plant engineer at a factory. The production supervisor thought himself to be more technically savvy than he was and as a result, he tended to mess with settings on the machines when he shouldn’t. My husband, not being this guy’s boss, couldn’t tell him to knock it off, but he spun a jargon-laden explanation, including some bogus jargon, to convince him that for optimum production, he needed to keep his hands off the dials. Apparently, it worked!
When he was telling me about it, I was cracking up about some of the terms he tossed out. I knew nothing about the actual production process, but I’m an engineer, so I recognized the bogus terminology, and I was impressed how plausible it sounded, for all that it was nonsense. 
hehe, cool!
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness i.e., when smart people use long words when short words would do. -Except nowadays dumb people use cryptic phrases to confuse sceptical people into thinking they now what they’re doing.
I just don’t think I’m cut out for the world of interviews! It makes me angry and confused. -Perhaps this is why I don’t have a proper job yet.
