Job Interviews

When I was finishing up in college and had to defend the auld thesis, my supervisor said weā€™ll pick a small little room, make it grand and informal. Sure itā€™s early July and the sun is baking outside, and the sweat is starting to roll off me as I walk into this tiny room with three people questioning me. Five minutes in, a lad outside the window gets the lawnmower going, and proceeds to spend about an hour in the vicinity of the room so the window gets closed pronto.

Jaysus, make sure you give yourself enough time between them. Iā€™ve been to an interview that started two hours + behind schedule

Its their problem if they are late, i personally am very poor at being on time so ill have to break one of my own life rules and be early.

Give me an example of working under pressure? I had to wrap up another interview to be on time for this one

The golden rule is if youā€™re early youā€™re on time - if youā€™re on time youā€™re late.

For interviews only. The way i see it if its not an airplane or interview your only wasting your own time being early

Best of luck @fenwaypark and @Copper_pipe - momentous times for the forumā€™s Equine following. Weā€™ll be laughing this up on Stephens Day watching Leopardstown and the King George.

Make sure and tell them, I have to finish up here in an hour as I have another interview. Like a fella with a girlfriend automatically becomes more attractive to other women

Donā€™t ease up anyway, sell sell sell.

As heā€™s management ask the cunt when he puts questions to youā€¦ In your experience, what makes the ideal person for the roleā€¦ They love being able to waffle on those type of questions.

And ask him how big is Cork.
