    I've never had an interview before, no doubt I'd do terrible. Only one way to improve though!

    Next time I'm in town I'm going to walk around handing in CVs, I know for a fact it won't get me a job, but what the hell...

    Oh, S.O.G.? That's the most annoying level on veteran, along with the stupid tank section in Rebirth. Other than that, easy game.

    Only needing 1 intel out of 3 on a mission. Then you go into the mission and find out it's at the VERY END.

    Word.

    Let's discuss all the things not relevant to anything.

    Milling over my college transcript. That's relevant.

    Work history? Yeah, makes sense.

    The hell does anything going on in my personal life have to do with things?

    Job interviews these days. So silly.

    That's the funny part. One look at my resume would show that I've got positive experience in that sort of thing. One of the first things that comes up has me within arms reach of a shitload of cheques, a lot of merchandise, and tens of thousands of dollars on a daily basis. And me with the ability to walk out the front door with this stuff if I so choose.

    This job? None of that happens. And even if it does, it won't be for a while. After being hired and going through the basic motions of what amounts to basic office work I'll probably get involved in some sort of menial task. Heavy lifting, grunt work, and whatnot. Maybe some basic construction. All as part of moving towards a better job, on the job training, and/or getting me back into school depending on what direction I go in for this.

    To simulate a job interview, find a someone you completely dislike who hates you. Invite them to dinner. Now show up completely naked.

    In public.

    That's an interview.

    Luckily for me I've had enough of these that I'm perfectly at home in the nude.

    Ridiculous. I can understand intensive interviews if it's a job where the employer needs to protect their security. If it's something menial there is no need to get into personal information .

    Wild Arms anime arrived today . It's a shame that Hastings was charging separate shipping for each item, otherwise I would have gotten way more.

    Usually, they'll either skip the question, rephrase it, or answer it themselves.

    It's their fault for asking the questions .
