Poll of the Day > Have y'all ever had to interview for a job you were currently holding?

(+) Yeah! (+)

cuz next week that will be me~

My current employment is technically contracted until a certain date, so I had to apply to another opening for a subsequent contract during the academic year. Good news is I got chosen for an interview! But I've never been in this position where I'm potentially answering questions I answered back in March about why I'm interested in this role and the agency. I've been on the job for 4 weeks and have some documents and ongoing tasks I've worked on to attest to at least.

I guess I'm not sure how informal the interview may lean considering I've become acquainted to the staff members.

Yeah all the time...

It is usually the easiest thing ever, no pressure

Not really. We get performance reviews each year, but those are typically just to decide pay raises and possible promotions.

In fact it is actually pretty hard to get fired/laid off in my company. Last guy who got fired basically threw a punch at a co-worker in the office. The last guy to get laid off had 3 years worth of horrible reviews, and was put on "probation" for a year before it happened.

sup brodie?

Im speaking from experience..


11 times in fact

I'm hoping it's no pressure but since it's guvmint I think they have to go through official protocols regardless. So I'm going to keep my guard up going into it.

Offer the interviewer a blunt as a peace offering and just chop it up...

Always worked for me

Okay bye

LOL

RC please Im just playing with you... you under some stress recently? I really dont think its a big deal.... you already went through an interview before and now you have on the job experience... really should be a matter of just going through the motions

I'm just tryna make sure I keep this good thing going is all. I got nervous and anxious as fuck during the first go-round as well. Like rationally it looks like a good sign but in my experience, but I've approached each job interview as if nothing is guaranteed and I need to impress the shit out of the organization. It's usually worked; I've been offered a job after each one >_>
---

Then do exactly as you always do.. :)

I can't help but get anxious. I just don't want to get too comfortable. I may wear a suit to work that day.

Pick an angle to go in with. You think you're a good fit with the organization and you want to work to further its goals, something like that.

I have another job interview tomorrow (in person) and my record on these things like.... 40 percent?


Ive been turned down after an interview more times than Ive gotten the job.


It's because I'm short

I talked with my work team's assistant director and she gave me some tips for some of the opening questions, so I'll utilize those. My team's current project is scheduled to go until January 2018 so I may use that as reasoning to stay on board.

jk no but seriously you wear like a suit and tie like typical male attire or?

Nah no tie. I now have two suits (donating the 3-4 suits that don't fit that well). And of course I have blazers and dress pants and skirts I can mix into outfits. We'll see.

Kinda. Following a takeover, a company I worked for had individual one-on-one meetings with each employee to decide who they were going to keep. It was a weird situation.

Donate me the skirts that dont fit you anymore...

Im running out of dress clothing that fit me :<

I'm about to go thrifting + ebaying hardcore after I move. Getting rid of 4 bags of clothes and will replace them for half the cost >>>>

Ew used clothing

Better than used furniture imo
---

Just watch for bedbugs >.>


Dead serious


They got on my clothing when I was visiting a relative who for some reason just festered in them eating him alive every night without ever replacing his mattress.... and i literally had to get a new bed after they propagated in my room too much.

Completely shake out anything you buy in an area away from your abode....


Honestly the only clothing Ive ever gotten second hand were suits, but they were from uncles and my deceased grandfather.. and sometimes shoes from my dad. Dress clothing is really expensive so sometimes getting those things for free can really help

That's how I got those 3-4 suits I'm donating. Unfortunately they're getting too small and uncomfortable. I do need to invest in new dress shoes though; that's worth dropping the money on.

Eating well? >.>

Yeah man, I'm just taller than average and they're riding up. Not worth getting them tailored imo.
