Default Job interview - 10-17-2005, 05:09 AM

I recently decided to apply for some jobs in the local area based on computers. I just got a phone call asking if i'd like to come for an interview on thursday morning biggrin: Its for a company that creates and sells CCTV equipment. I'll be trying to sell the equipment over the phone and in person. A great career prospect aparently.

I'll go out and buy myself a suit this afternoon, i'll take pics later, so you all can see how sexy i am!! rock:

Sales isn't too bad, but it isn't easy...dealing with people = lots of shit.

I've been working on the shop floor type of sales for 2.5 years. This is slightly different as your having to try to sell a product to a company. Something new i guess. Besides that im pretty pissed off at my current place, seems my staff seem to be taking the piss! I'll be glad to leave.

I'm pretty laid back when it comes to my staff working, but they'll do things to me that they woudnt dream of doing infront of my manager/ deputy.

Rule the fuckers with an iron fist!!!!!
Find the weakest one and corner him/her like a startled wilderbeast and start shouting office/shop jargon at them like memo etc. Then go red in the face and scream arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Then pat them on the back and walk away.

fuck with you again? i think not!

Drink a lot of Japanese beer the night before your interview so you have bad gas the next day. Tell them it's a medical problem that runs in your family.

Good Luck...I hate those types of jobs...I can almost bet its gonna be all commission based. You dont get money unless you sell shit. Fuck that noise. Pay me for being there.

During the interview, the HR will ask you to tell him a bit about yourself: make sure to mention the voices you hear, and how they influence your actions. I'm sure things will go great!
