The Official Interview and CV Thread

[Mojo]

Don't be too disheartened if you don't get it Kay, but if you feel you did well then theres a very good chance you did.

I say don't be disheartened because I used to have a very good record when it came to job interviews. A perfect record actually. I was very confident in my ability to interview well. I think I walked the line between typical business bullshit, like what Jackhammer mentioned, basically lying through your teeth, and being rather grounded and genuine. Sure I'm gonna make up some crap about why I wanna work here, but I'm damn sure gonna say I'm here to for the money too, and that I'll work hard to earn it. But then that 100% record was shattered after two years of unemployment and having interview after interview with no success.

Basically what I mean is that I'm sure you did well and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, but this is such a difficult time to get a job and you have to remain confident in yourself no matter what. There are just too many people out there exactly like you, looking for the same thing. It's easy to start believing things about yourself that aren't true.

Oh and for fuiture reference. Take a tip from Leon/Larry.
