Group interview for a job, fuck

[guest]

Gonna be with a bunch of other computer nerds and it'll be fuckin gay.

Not sure if making $$$$ is worth it.... I'm seriously considering just quitting my current job and going on welfare. Bam comment?

 

[guest]

Wtf do you do in a group interview? Are you supposed to "alpha male" the other applicants? Sounds fuckin gay tbh. If I was going to hire somebody I wouldn't interview all the applicants at once because that would be awkward as fuck

 

[guest]

Never had a group interview. Had to sit in a waiting area with other applicants and stuff like that but I cannot imagine that a group interview means the company is worth it but I guess it depends on the type of work it is? For an engineer/dev job that's just humiliation shit, for help desk or something it might be a good first pass to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Yeah def it's fucking gay. I'm gonna just go for kicks and not really care. I already have a job I like enough. This is a gay ass job that asked for my ethnicity and lgbtq status in one of the application stages. But pay is way higher.

The way she goes in clown world. You're right to brave it out either way, the more interview experience you get the better off you are in the long run.

Most people don't understand them so you have an immediate advantage if you do. Just pretend to be a normal person for an hour.

Group interviews are generally about seeing if you're not a social retard. Don't assume authority but act as though it's a natural fit for you in the group, get others to see you're competent but not showing off, be a key player in getting the group to complete a task together even though they're strangers, make decisions, take input from others, delegate tasks to others, etc.

If they were worried about your expertise or skills they'd be testing that instead. Chances are you're already qualified in that regard otherwise they'd have not bothered.

Depending on who is doing the testing, they might have someone pretending to be a fellow interviewee who is there to throw curve balls so always keep focused on the goals and don't get distracted if there's a moron or asshole in your group.

This was all covered in Peep Show, so watch that for reference.

be the best dressed in the group...just wearing decent, professional clothes have kept me couple weeks longer at jobs i wasn't meant to be in.

After you're hired, take yourself seriously af, so that if you screw up, they won't jump on your throat...always look worried and have a sense of urgency.

I'm a cripple right now, and wondering if they may hire me because I'm retard. Like the seinfeld episode where they hire George cos they think he's handicapped.

if you got a limp or something don't even mention it...let them see it. Better a cripple in denial of his disability then them thinking "oh fuck, another quota-hire".

Also, always claim native American as ethnicity, never "white".

That's how I turned my temp job into a full-time position. An entire year of walking around with a constant look of concern on my face. Fawkin exhausting, but it paid off.

I think this is right on the money. But I also think you ought to wear dark shades and chew gum. So, what do I know?

My last job interview, I aced it because when they asked what my weakness was, I said "job interviews". Niggas was howlin and I knew I got it.

Could you ask them if they have in place any rules for streetshitters to wear deodorant in the office?

Go in a full tuxedo, stand out.

If it seems like a shady company or one you've never really heard of, it could be a guerilla tactic to bring in lots of people for one of those weird remote 'sales' type jobs.
