Getting Hired
Sauchelli on Aug 4th 2010
I find the best thing to do when going in for a job interview is to forget everything you learned in school. I often remind myself that they are being interviewed as much as I am. Because my objective is to get a job that suits my skills and ambitions, because I am a valuable asset to their business, and for that reason I know already that they want to take me on. Ok you might be thinking this is like standing in front of a mirror syking yourself up, however it is not. It is about creating an even ground. Sure you should be well versed and qualified for the job, but you should also be funny, smart, unpredictable, passionate, and different.. un-replicable. You should always have a good hand shake. Probably the most uninteresting thing to happen to an interviewer is that they get all the “right” answers. Those answers are wrong people. Say what you mean and know what to say catered to the real world, real money, and real business. Now I can’t say I have what I would call a “real” job yet, but I just like lots of you am on my way out and these tacts have served me well in the past, so Ill stick to my real world knowledge and hope for the best. Actually Im a little bit bummed that I don’t play the violin and Im only a quarter the way proficient in another language. The competitins steep and climbing.
