dont say anything negative about yourself like i'm always running late, i take a lot of breaks, im a smoker, i messed up some equipment at my last job like the computer, fax machine, or coffeemaker

dont talk about any bad habits like biting your nails, how your desk is always messy just like your car and home which is why your so unorganized, or how much you procrastinate

dont tell them how nervous you are

dont say so many please, thank you's, or im sorry's that you start to sound like a real a** kisser

dont mention anything that they may ask for more details about if it was so long ago you really dont remember, or simply forgot because its no longer a big deal to you like events, stories, or accomplishments that might seem interesting enough for them to question you on. and dont mention anything you really know nothing about even if it does sound good

dont go off the subject about how your dog got sick before you left, you forgot to put on your lucky earrings, or how you saw a bad car accident on the way over unless the interviewer(s) does and you have something in common with whatever they're talking about

dont talk more than you have to. there are hundreds more prospects they're probably going to see after you on top of their work pilling up on them while sitting there with you so try not to waste their time with idle chatter

good luck!

It really depends on the position that you are applying. If its financial, DO NOT say that you want to be a trader without a deep understanding of market mechanics and valuations. If its a position that is less technical, play it safe and answer the questions asked in a clear confidant manner. What worked well with people I know was if you come across really excited about the position and want to learn more, the better your chances. However, most of my friends are in finance so I'm not sure if its applicable to you. Hope this helps.

man you have a huge head

My butt is really cute

Has anyone ever peed in the coffee pot?

From the tone of this interview I would say you are overpaid

My crack bugs are really itching. Can I take a minute to smoke a rock?

Does this look infected to you?

Which do you think is worse? Venereal Warts or Chlamidia? I am trying to cure both but the doc says one at a time and i am no good with decisions.

Confine the conversation to things relevant to the job you are applying for. This would be your skills, what you like about the job, etc., and things about the company - its plans for the future, exact tasks in the job, etc.

Stay away from personal things - family, marital status, politics, religion, sex. These are not necessary in the conversation and, even though you think you may be saying something harmless, may bias the interviewer. So, just avoid all that.

Good luck!

Well, this might seem obvious, but don't swear or come across as someone who is offensive. Just be polite, listen, and only speak when the interviewer asks you a question. And only elaborate on a question if the interviewer asks you to. Otherwise keep your answers short and to the point.

What is that disgusting smell? Smells like rotten feet.
I work in a bank and a girl said that during her second interview.
Be yourself and smile.
Do not be too cocky or look bored.
Answer in short but detailed sentences.
Maintain eye contact and thank the interviewer for their time.
Good luck ( bring breath mints for just before you go in and get rid of it before answering questions)

Don't ask about their policy on being absent occasionally without warning. You can find that out after you land the job.
Iwouldn't try to make points by commenting on pictures of George Washington he has in his office. That may actually be his wife !
Probably would want to avoid any talk about the a'holes in management.
Maybe keep your views on petty theft, ( pens, staplers, copy machines,etc.) to yourself.
You know, just go in there and try NOT to be yourself !

The blank space in my resume is from when I was in prison.
Do not be complety honest. But do not lie obviously either.
Take a deep breathe and have a shower, wear clean clothing, not too much cologne and smile.
Good luck !

I'd leave out the part about getting asked to leave your last job because you insisted on wearing a PVC catsuit and urinating on customers while singing "the girl from Ipanema"
