Ideal environment to maintain your TFK quota.

Just ask them what’s their early retirement policy so. Make it clear you have no ambition and won’t ruffle any feathers, that you’re just there to count down the days.

Tie that in with Mike’s advice about internet browsing and I should be fine?

Julio_Geordio · February 12, 2019, 8:04pm

Don’t show too much endeavor. The last thing they want is someone coming in working hard and showing them up. Although I know they are safe enough with Mousey

Tim_Riggins · February 12, 2019, 8:48pm

Best of luck.

Tell them Simo Harris and Leo the langer are fucking legends.

Knock em dead kid

When I was a sincere young fella I did a post on this thread (c.#97) about competency based interviews. Think it still holds. Have your examples across all the shitty, buzz wordy little areas and then use that SELL approach - statement, example, learning, link to job you’re interviewing for.

Also read TASE’s reply to @KIB_man ‘s anecdote (posts 37/38) just for a laugh.

Best of luck, Bob.

Ask them which Quartermaster General you will be reporting to.

myboyblue · February 12, 2019, 9:00pm

Big up your love of public service, how passionate you are about it and the importance therein. Tie in the education element.

Probably best not to mention your Sinn Fein links.

Don’t go in with any rote answers. Keep it natural and easy as possible. Don’t sweat it. More often than not its a chat woth someone that’s looking to hire you than an interrogation with someone whos trying to catch you out.

1 local councillor (politician). 1 Local business person and 1 of the management team.

The cunts will be trying to outdo each other.

anon78624367 · February 12, 2019, 9:12pm

Just dont be weird or an asshole. They arent going to ask you trigonometry questions.

anon61878697 · February 12, 2019, 9:13pm

I’m looking to teach trigonometry bud… that’s what the interview will be about.

Copper_pipe · February 12, 2019, 9:14pm

If they ask you to explain something in more detail, remember that explaining is losing

anon78624367 · February 12, 2019, 9:16pm

Just say isosceles a lot.

It can’t be that hard. Our maths teacher in school was a gibbering mess.

anon78624367 · February 12, 2019, 9:20pm

Ask them did they see angle di maria last night, humurous, contextual and relevant. Job is oxo

Bod95 · February 12, 2019, 9:33pm

Is the councillor one of yere lads?

balbec · February 12, 2019, 9:34pm

Lose that fucking Cark accent.

anon61878697 · February 12, 2019, 9:36pm

I’ll find that out tomorrow

Bod95 · February 12, 2019, 9:37pm

A little tip don’t wear the denim shorts
