Bah,

Didn't do as well as I hoped in my interview.

I was doing good for a while, but they threw some hard questions at me and I waffled a couple of times and felt I didn't answer certain questions the way they were expecting.

Think I was a little out of my depth.

Ah well, I did my best. Good thing is I now have internet back!

Dunno if this works for you, but what I did to get a better understanding of the Interviewing/hiring process was have a yarn with HR managers and employees at some big companies.

You'd be surprised how many are willing to chuck you some free advice if you sell your plight a bit. I found it really good to get some information from the hiring-party's perspective.

If you happen to know any industrial psychology graduates, that tends to help. The HR manager at my old work was really good, and because we had business relationships with large firms like PwC, Bell Gully etc (to the point where staff were seconded between us and them) I manage to get in a few good chats with a couple of other HR guys.

Coincendentally, I work a considerably shitter job now, but it's more fun. However, I did find good applications for the info I learned from HR folks.

Shitty weekend.

No internet, no phone and having to prepare for an interview this afternoon.

I'm a nervous wreck.

You are the man for this! You have the skills, you got the powa!

P.S. I'm with Growler, either a tug or a good luck BJ works wonders.

Even a bad blowjob beats a tug.

good luck joining the NZRAF


its RNZAF, you failed the first test

If I get in etc.. (it's a process), I technically won't be working for the NZRAF :P

What trade are you considering?

Damn life and it's big decisions....

Implications include me being out of Chch this time next year and in some small town / NZRAF air base in NZ (unknown atm) for dream job purposes.
If it means selling stuff / little bit of debt to achieve that, I will do that. Wanna guess what that dream job is? :P
Clue: Not audio based.



Sounds good.
It's good to have dreams and focus. Best of luck dude :)

Yep, I know exactly how you feel, haha. I did that too.
I wasn't taken for the job, but looking back I really did seem out of my depth. I mean, I could have done the job, but it would have still been a reasonable learning curve for me too... which wasn't really what they were looking for.
All a good experience though.

Heh. What worked for me in the end was having my cover letter stand out. It was big, flashy, colourful and actually as far from a formal letter as one can get. It was bold, direct and extremely cocky. The opening line was somthing like "Stop looking, I can start immediately." It had photos and funky typography. And on the third page was a typical boring cover letter that never even earnt me a call back.

Confidence sells it at the end of the day.
Coincidentally I am now doing something I enjoy, and loving it. Great team, great job, great boss, great money. Good times!

We Shall Perserveeeeeer.

Yup, it even glows in the dark.

Honestly bro, you're just retarded if you're stabbing yourself.

We're talking about going it alone, not bad handjobs.

I missed the anal part, the self mutilation was Camy being a tad strange and interpretting wank as handjob.

That was got onto by Rii being nervous about an interview - answer being tug or BJ to calm the nerves 8)
