job interview

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Good luck with the whole interview thing.

I am just a worthless liar,
I am just an imbecile,
I will only complicate you,
Trust in me and fall as well.

@Esqy,

Hope you get what you want. Not clear to me whether you want that SQL job ... I remember talking about that the last time and you were, shall we say, underwhelmed at the prospect?

well im back,i arrived just short of 2 hours early, thought i would tell them id arrived, and i was going to be sitting in soho square till it was time. I was told to stay where i was, as the people interviewing me where coming down anyway.

i think it went really well, they even asked me if i was available for a trial day, something thats never happened before

Sounds promising. Well done ff!

The more you show in positive / eager deeds how much you want the work, the more favorably they will look at your application.

Just don't end up stalking them.

Well done, ff! I'll cross my fingers for ya

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

Post Wed Jun 02, 2004 12:16 pm

For some reason people always offer me jobs. I never have to apply for one. This has happened to me 3 times now! I guess I'm just a lucky bastard

ff - Nice work. All you have to be is patient... like me .

Indy - I don't particularly like SQL, but you have to start somewhere I guess. What I'd really like to do is write professionally, but it's bloody hard to get into, and I don't have any pieces of paper (apart from the Arts Degree) .

Post Thu Jun 03, 2004 2:23 am

ff, well done, i hope you showed some sense and immediately said yes to the trial day thang.

Esq, you need to make up your mind what you really want to to do. While you're more than good enough to advance your career in IT, if it's not really what you want to do, then you'll just make yourself very unhappy and end up like me - miserable and frustrated by imbeciles. Unless you're prepared to accept that there's a difference between what you enjoy and what you're good at.

..fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant..

well of course i did taw, ive never been asked that before

Post Thu Jun 03, 2004 3:49 pm

@Esqy,

What Taw says may be right but I would like to offer a slightly different spin:

No matter what you do, part of your work will involve dealings with imbeciles. Be they colleagues, clients, bosses, deans or what have you. You will have to suffer them regardless.

So, as imbeciles in life are a given ... a sort of goes with the territory known as life kind of thing ... the idea is to choose what you would rather do well knowing that whatever path you choose will be littered with morons.

Post Thu Jun 03, 2004 7:31 pm

Taw/Indy - Aye 'tis true. I work with imbeciles enough as it is (damn University), but I fear that I am still stuck in a very teenage mindset regarding my future career; I don't know exactly what I want to do. I guess that I'll have to take the first good job that I see in either the media-related or IT areas, and try it out for a few years. Still, one of things that my father impressed upon me before he died was to only do what you love doing, and that's part of the problem; my job standards are a little too high.
