[Edited 4/21/10 19:09pm] I don't want to say anything wrong...like looking at Prince.org I guess I can say reading about the news or looking at the news, but I don't want her asking me questions about it that will leave me with a dumb look on my face. Watching CNN, going for walks, exercising...even though I look puny.unlucky7 reincarnated | |

But I'd think the usual reading, movies, music and such would go over without incident. | |

Bit of advice, don't list drinking and whoring. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

They want to get an idea if you are a loner or a team player.
Who knows maybe they have the same.

looking at my application form i clearly do not have to go on an interview skills course.
great. they mostly have you when your answers are abstract. Say, for example - retailing has been taken over by the internet and there is no future in your high street franchise. They'll love that. Also, make sure you show up reeking of cigarettes and booze. They surely can't mark you down for that! Cx | |

I was asked this question at only one interview and the interviewer's face lit up like a Christmas tree when I said, "gardening." He was an avid gardener, too. We spent 10 minutes talking about different plants and flowers. Needless to say, I got the job! | |

what your hobbies and interests are is none of their fuckin business. All that they should focus on is your skills for the position. | |
