They all sound like good advice to me.
But, we’re not in prison, so they fail my advice of not applying somewhere that can’t spell.
I really hope that was all directed at the same person.
We’re they located. I love sharpening knives.
Is this why they say that nowadays you need a college degree just to get a retail job?
I’ll add a few from my parent’s work- Don’t come in for an interview, then shave in the work bathroom beforehand leaving hair and shaving cream everywhere, especially when the person who’s interviewing you is also the person who cleans said bathroom.
Don’t come in every single day after your interview for the next two weeks, asking ‘Can I start my job yet?’
Don’t get your big sister to phone and complain because you were offered an alternative (volunteering) job that wasn’t quite what you wanted, especially when you’re in your 40s.
And one that I’ve done- don’t hand in a CV (resume) with no contact details whatsoever on it.
Don’t break into song in the middle of the interview.
Don’t say “I don’t really want this job, I just want to get promoted. How soon before I can have your job?”
Don’t wear your hoodie sweatshirt with a tie and assume you look professional.
Nobody’s ever waved a knife at me, fortunately.
In that vein, don’t hand in a cover letter with a different organization’s name on it. I did that one, and, miraculously, still got the job.
With your spelling, you’d fit right in.
What if you’re auditioning for a role in a musical?
I’d say, then you enter singing and dancing. ![]()
Hey it took my three whole minutes to think up a post we’re I could use that. :fist
Well, I didn’t think of that. Maybe he mistook the posting of “lab tech” for “supporting role in local production of Les Mis.” ![]()
