Definitely not my worst interview experience tbqhwy. Got the job and a 33% uplift in salary. RTBC thread for this pish, I know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to hire people with birthdays spread out over the year, otherwise office birthday cake comes along like London buses. Goes to waste at this time of year especially. ^^^ fails to see the real 'd.o.b.' question in the 70/80's..... Actually 90's as well come to think back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You play out your first roll in its entirety, then roll again. The only exception is a third double where you go directly to jail. On an earlier point, not only may you purchase property on your first lap of the board, but unowned property landed on at any time *must* be bought, either by the player directly, or by auction. You can't just decide you don't want it and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it, then read a few more pages and had it my head it was "end on Euston in your first go" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Oh yes. That job interview that got very heated talking about the rules to Monopoly. Tempers frayed, it all came to blows, the police were called in and we all got carted down to the station. So ended my attempt to join the Diplomatic Corp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The mother-in-law is over and was telling us about interviewing people for a website-design post at her work recently. The first candidate came in wearing an old tracksuit, stinking of weed and never took his beanie hat off for the whole interview. The second guy looked much more professional, spoke confidently and eloquently, and then took her through his portfolio...which was almost entirely porn websites. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charon Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 30 odd years ago I was needing a job so travelled 30 miles to a shithole near Livingston for an interview for one of those jobs delivering cars. Ie minimal wedge, but you get a trade number plate to hitch home hundreds of miles. Smug bassa gave it the big chin stroke at the end, "I really don't know how to read you" , ffs it a dead end job/clean license etc, but he giving it Large as if it was Chief of Security to Her Madje. I really am glad I never got the gig tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I understand why it wasn’t appropriate but what if the porn websites were really well designed? Seems a shame that someone with good skill wouldn’t get opportunities because he’s been working with dicks and tits 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Have you ever went in to interviews not giving a shit and being offered the job? That’s what happened to me the last time I went for an interview. Basically couldn’t be arsed as I was struggling with my mental health, really drained due to lack of sleep, just a really shitty time, but I somehow ended up getting it. The interviewers were about as nonchalant as me tbh, they must have been able to relate to me. I farted in an interview once as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy I used to work with only went to the interview to stop his Jobseekers Allowance getting cut and obviously ended up getting the job, much to his bemusement. He got killed while at work within about12 months of joining. On a slightly less morbid note, a guy came to my current workplace yesterday for an interview dressed in a suit and tie which the boss thought was hilarious and announced it to a few of us in the canteen as if this was the maddest thing he'd ever seen. Weirdo. (The boss, not the suit guy). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
