I used to work for a company that rented the seventh floor of a skyscraper. One day, I was in my boss`s office while he was waiting for an interview candidate to show up: suddenly the phone rings, and the doorman tells my boss," I just sent a lad up to your office. He said he was here for an interview, but I want to tell you that he was really disrespectful to me."
Although he didn`t know it, this cocky young candidate had already lost the job while he was still riding up in the elevator. So.... be nice to everyone in the building.
Jackhammer`s post is a good one. Two other difficult questions which I`ve been asked are :-
Why do you think you`d be good at this job ? and How much would you expect to be paid ?
Anyway, congrats on your first interview, Aurora. Sounds like you did fine. All you need is a bit of common sense, and to follow the good advice on this thread. And yes, I think shaking hands gives a good impression.
Sorry to hear that some of you are struggling with unemployment - I know how horrible it can feel. In the end, the only way I could find work was to leave the mother country altogether. Thanks, London !
