it was a phone interview so i dont know how much my cleavage helped the situation but i think overall it went well! i just dont want to wait the 2-3 weeks for them to get through the application process to hear anything about how it went

had a couple group interviews where they did the 'think of two truths and a lie' then share and the rest of the people guess.

then we made friendship bracelets.

yeah government takes forever it seems. i have a government contracter i've been talking to and they supposedly need to do a 10 year background check... seems like it's taking forever.

Yeah, it freakin' sucks. Have a couple of apps in with state jobs right now and the process is just crawling along it seems.

It took me 2 months once I started the interviewing process to get a job with the IRS. I finally got the job, but then never started. I didn't want to work there, and I found something better.

My favorite (read: least favorite) question is this series:

Where do you see yourself in two years?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Where do you see yourself in ten years?


This is the type of crap they should let you study beforehand. That's a tough question to answer, especially when they keep asking it again on a longer time frame! You don't want to say still in the same position, because then you seem unmotivated and dead-ended, but heaven forbid you say in a promoted position, because then you're cocky! And if you admit you might not be around in ten years, then why the hell would they ever want to invest their time in you if you already know you'll be leaving? Can anyone tell me what an appropriate response to these types of questions is?

if you were a food, what would it be and give three reasons why that food describes you

I like the question LISD threw me of....What race of students to you prefer to teach?

now i cant really remember what they asked me. first off was "tell me about yourself" which is actually pretty hard to do while trying to keep it as focused and job related as you can! another tough one was "what aspects of the job do you see yourself enjoying and what do you see yourself not enjoying".

what they get you on is asking a question thats a string of smaller questions! they asked me an overall question that was made up of several other ones and by the time i was into answering i forgot what my point was. ALL the questions were like that. kind of what i wasnt prepared for.

did they ask you about your views on single mothers and how they are all whores who can't keep their legs closed even if they were raped?

that doesn't sound like a legal question

A job interview is like any other conersation. Turn it around and make the interview about the interviewer.

Those questions are bogus, talk about the company, talk about the job, hell talk about current events. That's all you need to do.

lol... ok...

interviewer: "Tell me a little bit about yourself."

rabble: "Naw. You tell me a little bit about yourself."

its good to ask the interviewer questions.

ask them some detailed questions.

what are the company's goals for the next five years?
does the company plan to expand? if so, where?

another good one to ask about is recent stumbling blocks the company has run into and how they fixed that problem.

its the CDC, they dont stumble!
