Need help ... quickly ...

The one thing that always baffles me, however, is why people don't bring writing samples to jobs that specifically require writing abilities.

I'll be discussing this with my director, regarding future job descriptions.

Otherwise, the young lass was quite pleasant. Answered her questions well.

Have another at 11:15.

 

Do you have pics?

 

No.

 

A good question now might be: Did you remember your writing samples?

 

This was soooo not the help I was hoping Flash needed.

 

Since you've got more coming...

Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years?

What are your salary expectations?

(And just for fun) What is the average speed of a swallow?

 

I asked that in an interview once and the young woman said, "I want to get married and move to Mississauga" (suburb of Toronto). I laughed out loud.

Interview ended shortly thereafter.

 

Doc, what does their sexual preference have anything to do with the job?
That line of questioning will get you in trouble.

 

Not bringing samples could be viewed two ways.

Those who don't may be good at following instructions to the letter (or could be stupid).

Those who do, despite not having specific instructions to do so, could be the ones who take risks, think for themselves and don't always walk in lockstep with management.

 

Ask them if they know what snorgle means.

 

If you had to come up with a marketing campaign to sell yourself for this job, what would it be?
