    When they introduce themselves, say 'nice to meet you again'. Then drop the hand.

    By any chance is the job "marketing related"? in the current climate it seems a little weird that you'd get a callback after just 11 hours if your skillset isn't in demand... if the name of the company is something snazzy like Gallop Marketing (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin//showthread.php?p=55421038) or Majestic Marketing then give the interview a miss...

    If not best of luck and make sure to keep eye contact - that's the most important part of going down :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Slow Motion


    Be confident, assert yourself! Tell them you will only work between the hours of 10 to 3 and you want a 2 hour lunch break, 3 months holidays p.a. and a starting salary of 100k minimum. They will be so impressed with you they will probably offer you a directorship and shares!*










    *May not work and could cost you the job!

    Do you actually wonder why its the first interview you've had in 5 months?

    I think your 'couldn't be arsed about the job either way' attitude could probably swing it.

    That's just sexist.
    The interviewer could be a woman, maybe the OPs applying to be a Nun
    or a hairdresser.

    Take a load of speed before the interview...

    when the interviewer asks you "where do see yourself in five years?"

    dont give a Pink & Brain answer and say something like "half way to attaining world domination".

    Best of luck with your interview!

    Talk in riddles and when they question you announce your the lord jesus christ returned.....wait youre female. Defecate everywhere

    My boyfriend had an interview a couple of weeks ago, first interview since losing his job in December. They went through all the normal nterview procedure with him and when they asked him if he had any questions he asked where they'd be going on the Christmas party :rolleyes: Dickhead! He got the job though!

    As "Al Murray" says, there's only two jobs for a woman, secretary and nurse.

    "Accountant" ? That's just a secretary with a calculator.

    And it's a pint for the men, glass of white wine or fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 228 ✭✭omyatari


    pull a "basic instinct" on the interviewer,

    but seriously tho, grats on the job ;)

    Do that

    This guy is jammy, too full of s**t. The start and finish parts are annoying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    Ok, here's what you do.

    Go in, give a firm handshake. Look the lady in the eyes, smile and say hello.

    Take your seat when offered, and sit with your hands in your lap. Do not fidget, always remain polite, but do smile when appropriate.

    At the first opportunity, ask if her if you both can scissors, or if she wants she can sit on your face.

    A friend of mine when asked 'What did you do to prepare for this interview?' replied:


    Had a shower! :)

    Got the job too!

    Be confident, watch your posture, try not to fidget during the interview, if you can clasp your hands together in your lap, and try to make eye contact with the interviewer.

    What?! Wait a minute, that sounds like serious advice. Serious advice has no place in AH Ms Puddleduck. Take it back, take it back or else...

    * shakes fist threateningly

    OP, don't listen to this advice. Do anything else mentioned in this thread and you'll be fine.
