Just had a job interview

Wat voor werk was het?

My father always told me that shorter resumes are better. He is a manager for like 30 years now, and he instantly trashes any CV longer than 2 pages

zie

They are, if you have relevant things to put on there. Two or three high-impact items on your CV are way better than six or seven Mickey Mouse bullshit things.

Open a start-up and become successful and buy that company

It's not about filling it with bullshit, it's about being creative

can you give an example of what you mean by being creative, tio?

Nou, hop aan het werk met je cv en zorg dat je iets kan betekenen voor de maatschappij

Say you visited Czechia a few years back and starred in a porno

what if they ask me how bagina feels and I can't give a coherent answer?

My resume is one page. References available upon request.

I've only had two jobs for the last 10 years though and no unemployment, so it's understandable.

When i hire people, I usually don't read more than the first page.

Salty bags of milk.

I thought it was salty bags of coins

I got a really good job at an insurance company last week and yesterday they told me I was fired due to my background check having cannabis and coke on it. Absolutely rekt me. Oh well back to Jow Forums and drugs

You're a fucking idiot. You got the chance, and you didn't even take it seriously enough to get dressed.
I hope you end up as an actual janitor you fucking loser

I just read the rest of it, so you're an idiot and you know it.

you think I don't know that? I am a lifelong shut-in, I dont learn this stuff

Also I was high when I passed the interview and half of insurance brokers are high anyway I could have done the job easily

If they say 'don't call us, we'll call you' it means 'nope'. As for the suit, wear your fucking suit. I wore a suit when i went from Oxford to East Anglia when I went to a medical school interview. I got the fucking place, 1 out of 25, out of a list of thousands. Because the other plebs came in jeans. I didn't go, I got too ill and nearly died. I'm a loser but come on user, you're, I assume, relatively healthy and got a chance and you fucked it up. I'd like to pretend this is a troll, but you clogwogs are fucking autistic as fuck and think being slightly taller than average is all you need.

>wearing a suit outside of very formal events is for losers, wall street larpers and am*ricans

my brother got a job at an american firm and they're forced to "dress properly" according to some code, lol. fucking disgusting, could never stand it

what do you mean by having drugs on your background? Like, criminal background?

don't know why i greentexted that, oops

if they require certain clothes then i'm not interested. i'd go to interviews dressed as i always do. pathetic ellitist pigs.

well I know for sure they won't take me but tbf even before the interview they mailed me they'd make the decision on friday

Yea

it's their company, they can ask for whatever dress code they want, you don't have to work for them.
fucking communists.

>people actually elect to wagecuck instead of going their own way and starting a business
You'll never make it.

not only did they say I needed a suit, but it needed to be blue or grey with a white button-up shirt

Good luck user with that!

>75% of the interview was them giving me advice on how to fill up my resume
Well, take that advice. You'll eventually get employment as long as you don't repeat the same mistakes over and over.

yeah I will breh

Why did they do a background check after they hired you? Also lol gey.

It's bullshit unless your job is to deal with people in which case you are the representation of the company and should send the right message.

>Putting Jow Forums on anything that also has your name on it
Wtf? No.

all i had to do to get a job was to show my epikk gitlab repo to the boss and then i walked in while wearing jeans and a hoodie

Because they switched my role to one that needed an extended check. Normally only shit in the past 5 years is relevant but then 8 year old drugs shit fucked me. Oh well most jobs won't do this was fairly easy to get hired tbqh

one sheckel for you, mr. goldberg

Dude, I have an interview in an hour that I’m not gonna go to.
Under the “must-haves” section of the job description, I don’t have any of them.
This third-party recruiter contacted me, I went to his office yesterday and chatted. But I’m not a good fit for this job.
He gets a big commission if I’m hired, but I’m not at all qualified or even very interested in this job.
I fucking hate IT recruiters, they either bail on you or try to push you into some interview you’re not suited for.
He even showed me the feedback they gave on previous applicants they didn’t hire, and they all sound like me. It’s like this recruiter didn’t even read the fucking feedback.
He also told me to prep for this interview and make notes even though he arranged the interview 24 hours in advance.

hey op im studying accoubting at uni, do u wanna be my fren on discord?

Honestly dude. How do you go for an interview in a business setting and not wear a suit?
This is something you learn when you’re like 10.

What kind of things did you wrote down in your CV? It sounds like you didn't even bother to put all the details about your education.

dont have a discord account, bud
I've never worn a suit in my life
I thought I already looked fancy enough

my high school
my undergrad degree
the two jobs I have held
that's it
never did an internship
never did extracurricular activities
was a need for 3 years after my bachelor

What kind of jobs were those two?
What kind of advice did they give?

1. working in a supermarket
2. TA for some bachelor classes like intro to analysis and probability theory

they actually asked me a lot about my hobbied and told me to add some stuff I mentioned in my resume (e.g. that I used to run a gaming-related YT channel with 100k subs)

>told me to add some stuff I mentioned in my resume (e.g. that I used to run a gaming-related YT channel with 100k subs)

That's pretty obvious, you need to put every accomplishment

Working for a supermarket may not sound exciting, but you can legitimately say that you learned to deal with tight time schedules. It does not need to be false

These bachelor classes also sound very interesting.

Also high school is not worth mentioning if you have a degree

Go fucking kill yourself you cancer nazi homo

You can add some "family business" or a "personal project". For example: "Sales and Customer service at a family owned coffee shop" or "Sales and Customer outreach at a personal brownie and cupcakes venture "

This is normal for a professional job. A good rule of thumb is to dress how your potential manager is dressed.

you cant have autism and be self aware.

I got an interview as well and the Senior Partner was like "we usually don't hire people as young as you" and "I don't really see your motivation to work here"
Funny thing is that I got headhunted by them so why the fuck would you ask me that?

>it was a job at an accounting firm, pretty good one
Was it one of the Big 4? I got an interview with them yesterday and it went pretty much the same way. I think it's their modus operandi. Who was the rudest?

>75% of the interview was them giving me advice on how to fill up my resume
Well take their advice and use it when you keep trying at other places. At least now you know what employers are looking for.

Woah, yeah. Same thing here, knew the manager at Deloitte and he sent me the notes the girl from hr took. What a cunt she was.

EY here, the hr girl was actually pretty nice and the technical guy was nice as well
The senior partner was a bit of a cunt but I guess you don't become senior partner if you're not a cunt

>Be young some years ago
>First job interview ever
>Guy asks which days im free and how about weekends
>Told him that i go boozing on weekends
>Silence for 5 seconds
>Managed to process that he asked if im free on weekend and not what i do on weekends
>Tell him i can work weekends
I still cringe when i think about it, but atleast i got the job lol.

same
senior partner kept insulting me and then saying it was just advice, not criticism

They were checking out how would you answer to that if a client ever makes a similar comment to you. They told me the same during an interview to my current job.

In any case, if I still get offered the job (or a 2nd interview) I'll post a thread on friday for the few who care.
If I dont then I wont make a thread, will just play RDR2.

Btw I didn't bring my suit & tie as well lol
The website told me it was a "business casual" office so I was in a sweater too. Also nobody mentioned my attire but for the partner
Maybe they play the "good cop bad cop"
I thought so, it's very possible they tried to put pressure on me and see how I would react

What College? Also, is East Anglia a good school?

As long as they weren't condescending, it's nice that they gave you advice rather than just kicking your out of there after five minutes
