I had a d... come interview looking like a hippy with a pro dem button on his shirt.
At an investment bank...
This was maybe 2003
I only want to here the word “like” if you are expressing fondness or making a comparison.
AOC like for sure.
As an alternative, you can utter “uh” after every phrase.
I’d at least wear a suit.
Noamsayin’, dog?
I have 3 nieces who talk like valley girls. One seems to have changed as she has become an attorney. I suspect the other two will be under employed the rest of their lives.
(I have to restrain myself from telling lawyer jokes.)
“PS in addition, another pet peeve is why would anyone go to a professional interview for a production manager in jeans?”
Even if you are applying for a job where jeans are acceptable (i.e. in a professional position in the agriculture industry), DO NOT wear those jeans that look like they are grungy. A pair of dark, starched, and creased jeans are the way to go.
blue jeans are perfectly acceptable for production engineers and managers. I wore blue jeans to work for five years when I was a deputy product manager.
Get a partner and both take turns speaking on whatever topic.
Every time one of those verbal placeholders like, like, you know, etc gets used, do 10 pushups or situps or whatever.
Keep doing this until you can go 5 minutes without transgressing. Then the habit is broken.
It is amazing how much smarter people will assume a person is if that person doesn’t verbal placeholder all over their talky talk.
Unemployment is at record low levels. Thank God and President Trump.
The downside to that is that all the good competent people are already working.
And Millennials don’t know (Obama).
Who would teach that? If that's not taught in the home, there's no way these folks are going to learn it.
I feel ya.
I hear you. I tell my daughters that it’s annoying.
Fact is we are just getting old. The young whipper snappers just annoy us. If they just acted like us it would be so much easier.
The problem I have with the kids is they do not know how to pick up a phone to get stuff done. They send emails back and forth throughout the day on a problem that could have been solved fist thing in the morning if they would just picked up the phone. I call it “playing office” instead of working.
Would you hire that guy? Of course not. Who needs a self serving pretentious look-at-me ass?
I went to an interview once....before the interview started I went into the men’s room. Turned out that the bottom of the door was just short of the height of my foot. When the door closed it ripped the top off of my shoe. I ended up with a sandal on my right foot. Made for a good ice breaker. Got the position and thrived with the company until I retired. It was a good pair of shoes too.
Without being too picky, there are at least 10 grammatical errors in your (mercifully) brief vanity. Physician, heal thyself.
I can tell by the resume whether I want to talk to this person.
I always specify interview attire, just for the record. Shirt with a collar and tie, dress pants and shoes. Jacket not needed and is often in the way.
If I don’t specify... then you get what you get.
As far as interviews, I *ALWAYS* interview in the nude.
I also go to ALL my meetings in the nude.
Of course, I work and interview from home, on the phone, so there is that.
