Two words: Blow Job.



If he doesn't want to give you one then walk out and never look back.

Don't show up drunk. I wouldn't take about racing either.

Show up in a Starfleet uniform, and then act disappointed.

Edit
Okay, for serious: Is this a customer service job? You want to project positivity and customer service skills at all times. If you have an antecdote about how you dealt with a negative customer and turned his bad experience into a positive one, use it.

...and continually refer to the interviewer as Captain Archer... and when he corrects you and says his real name.. respond...

"sure John".

Learn as much as you about Enterprise, about that location. Wait until he reaches for your hand, shake his hand do not crush it and don't be too wimpy. Take charge of the interview, make sure you have your references handy, do not start to look for papers (it will make you look disorganize if you do); stay on subject, give short answers, give positive answers, look at the person in the eyes, do wring your hands.

Practice tonight with a friend.

You will do fine, good luck.

Don't wear sandals and don't use the word 'dude' too much. Wrapping yourself up in brown paper may help.

(btw - good luck)

They want to pay him money. That's my guess anyway. My ex used to work in their corporate call center and it's not the best place to work. Then again, it might be different in a branch.

You can buy the used cars at a discounted rate though, so if you are broke (and you will be if you work for enterprise) you can get a good deal on an old rental car.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Dress well, dont put on heavy cologne, shave, NO WHITE SOCKS, glance around the interviewers desk to get an idea of their personal likes, NEVER say your a 'People Person', always say your a company guy (willing to spend a long time and advance in the company, even if you know u wont) not a lot of hand gesturing, look into the interviewers eyes. smile but not a forceable.

If you want to impress them, tell them it only took you 3 days to get to level 60 on WoW.

So I take it since you completed the interview you got that blow job then…nice.

You know what... I'd honestly love to start an interview by offering oral sex to the interviewer. Like not that I'd do it, I just think it'd be hilarious. That said I have no job right now and really need one. I'd only offer (and then rescind that offer) if I didn't need a job.

Man apparently I've bombed all (both) job interviews I've ever been in. Although they did both result in job offers...
