well.

Unless they are some off the wall company they are going to ask you the standard interview questions. like:



When did you have to work under a dealine and how did you handle it?


Think of time when co-worker made your job harder how did you handle it?


Did you ever deviate from the standard norms in your current job? If yes, why?



Crap like that.

"if a co-worker made your job more difficult, what would you do ?"

"Kill him/her and stuff her body in the comunity bathroom, then resume my duties"

this will get you hired every time.. trust me

Try not to use profanities, even if you censor yourself it still looks bad. Most employers frown upon the use of them.

Other than that good luck man kick some ******* ***!

which company do you have an interview with?

It'll be nerve racking but just take your time when you talk, don't talk too fast and you'll do fine.

Relax and be yourself. Try to impress, but don't stress too hard about it.

Standard interview questions:
What is your best quality?
What do you think your worst quality is? (don't use the cheesy answer "I work too hard", but make something that doesn't make you look bad)
Do you prefer to work in a group or as an individual?
Say your boss is out for a while unexpectedly, what do you do?

etc.. and good luck tomorrow dude.

Here are some of the key questions they may ask you.

Why do I want this job?

What are your strengths?

What are your weaknesses?

What is one of your biggest accomplishments?

What are you expecting from this job?


Good luck

if you can bust out some names, we might be able to help, not that likely but one of us might already be working at the company you have an interview with....

Here is what I would do.

First of all, show up 15-20 minutes late - that way you do not look like you will take anything they offer.

Second, make sure you don't zip up your pants and have either a shirt weiner or your ball sack hanging out.

Third, pick your nose and wipe bloody nose goblins on the desk/table.

Fourth, blaze up a fat joint and do not share.

Fifth, ask if the interviewer has any loose daughters that you could bang as a side benefit to the job.

Last but certainly not least - racial jokes...

This thread reminds me of a recent episode of House. Dr. House needed to interview some people and he didn't want to. He was trying to offend this one chick but she didn't seem to mind.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to take a dump"

Is Dr. House the same as Herman's Head?
