Um... no! It was possibly worse...

What I said as I shook hands and left the building was...

boxed

"I feel like I've come home"

How fucking camp! lol

How bloody "Scarlett O'Hara"... How excrutiatingly awfully camp.

I sometimes don't know how I exist in day-to-day life. I really, really don't. lol

Oh, well. Maybe my camp outburst will swing it for me. They might have a queer-quota to fill. rainbow

hug

And hopefully not a body bag. lol

Do you know what my worst interview response was ever? It sort of went like this...

Interviewer: ...And so, we're looking for a wide range of staff with different skills, levels and abilities - not just a "one-size-fits-all" candidate.

Justin: Yes, I know exactly what you mean...

Interviewer: [Nods silently]

Justin: You need chatterboxes; brainboxes; creative people - all complementing each other...

Interviewer: Exactly!

Justin: ...like Charlie's Angels!

Interviewer: [Stares at me for a very long time]

how did it go? batting eyes

It went really well. The offices were really swanky and futuristic - it made my current workplace look like like a concentration camp.

Just the fact that they have free coffee and tea made me realise how bad my current job is. They also had huge TV screens on the walls, so you can watch TV whilst you work! Every floor has a rest area with an internet cafe, pool tables, games consoles...

I did say something a bit silly when I shook hands and left though.

No, I didn't expose my penis. lol

What's it a job in?

An office. lol

Well, there is good news and bad news...

They called me today and said that I'd passed all their tests and the face-to-face interview questions but failed on the "role playing"...

As part of their assessment last week, I had to pretend to answer a phone call. It was a bit surreal. A lady took me into a small room and said, "I'm going to turn my back on you. The phone is going to ring four times and then you're going to answer". I mean - what the Hell?

So, she turned her back on me and started saying "Bbbriiing, bbbriiing. Bbbriiing, bbbriiing." I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. It was awful! I hate pretending to do stuff. Why couldn't she have just called me on a real phone? She had long blonde hair too, so it was like having a conversation with Cousin It from the Addams Family. I think I stammered a little as it was all very off-putting.

Anyway - they've asked me to go back on Wednesday and re-sit the "role playing" exercise as they're really keen to hire me otherwise.

sounds like they're keen so good luck!
I always laughed at the role plays too, a friend of mine said just imagine them naked apart from black socks, which just made it worse as that meant I was role playing with naked people at an interview

It's a mess, ain't it, sheriff?
If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here
