Kicked Ass

Ok, boasting time .. I kicked their asses during my interview. That's not to say I got the job because someone else could, and probably does, have more work experience than me .. but, I knocked them off their feet anyway.

The interviewing area was open .. I couldn't hear anything being said, but had a visual .. two people were before me and neither of them could keep eye-contact while thinking about answers, they took far too many seconds to answer the questions, each interview only lasted about 5-6 minutes.

Here I come .. assertive, engaging, quick-minded, intuitive .. within the first three minutes, the HR manager stopped the interview and brought over the owner, who then bombarded me with questions, while I served right back over the net instantly with approaches about how I can overcome the obstacles, rather than focusing on the problem "itself" which would show them that my mind would concentrate on minimizing my avenues in which to take to find resolution.

For 25 minutes, the owner and HR person grilled me .. and never formally dismissed me, rather waited until .. I .. was satisfied that the interview had run it's course and then gave me phone numbers and email addresses for contact if more questions came to mind.

Well, well .. what do you think? It may sound stupid to ask, but, I haven't worked in a long time .. did I nail it? Did I do it right?

Maybe that approach was too forceful ..

I don't think so at all, if they were bombarding you then it was a good thing, if they took your email in case they had more questions, it's a good thing. The other two people screwed up right off the bat, but you didn't, I would say that you aced it and you will totally get the job. Just be confident next time you go in, and friendly, and there is no way they can turn you down 😄.

If they grilled you for a half an hour, that's a big sign, they aren't going to waste their time on someone if they don't think they've got what it takes. the other 2 people obviously didn't, but you did 😄.

Ah, it appears like a Pisces thing...

Old song P-Angel. I did that a month ago. They didn't called me back, but I had my fun.


Stupid people are everywhere P-Angel.

Arrogance is my big problem .. finding a way to be humbled would serve better.

But, thanks S702 .. I think it went well too, in comparison to the others and even if I don't get it, being able to sit back as I'm doing now .. realization of errors become apparant for future encounters.

"If they grilled you for a half an hour, that's a big sign, they aren't going to waste their time on someone if they don't think they've got what it takes. the other 2 people obviously didn't, but you did 😄."

Ehh you dont know what to expect from bored people. Trust me, they just sit on their arses and people come and go, only asslicker come speak and go. They get bored. When anyone is starting to defy then, they just say "fun time has came" and start to bitch you back. They do this not because they find you interesting, but rather it boosts their ego to see you smashed. They think it's worth of look this.

I agree with President Haffo - P-Angel.....if you had fun with it, that is ALL that truly matters.

Next! 😉

Keep us posted on any new developments lady

"Stupid people are everywhere P-Angel."


Yeah, sitting right here .. now that I look at what I just wrote .. it was a failure, my actions failed me. However, learning never stops, so long as our eyes are open.

Yeah it's difficult to understand who failed whom. You to yourself or they to you. I think the only thing that matters, what actually you think not they. For them, you are just one of houndred people they meet each day. You are nothing to them. But for you, what you think is the only one. You cant think like others do. Therefore you do not have a choise.

This experience was the main reason for why I stopped looking for work to work for someone. They wont get me that way. Faggots.

Congrats P! I hope that you get the job! Show them that fish mean business in there!

"When anyone is starting to defy then, they just say "fun time has came" and start to bitch you back."


Oh, no, it wasn't like that at all. I wasn't defying anything, rather, answering each question with ways to resolve an issue, rather than picking it apart .. they were very nice and smiled the whole time and just waited for more questions from me .. I just turned the tables around, is all .. and made it about why I should choose them as an employer .. such as, I didn't ask what my job duties were, rather, what makes their company value enough to me to be dependable, loyal and hard-working.

I know why I was doing this. And I knew right. They were offering money that wont even enough to keep your daily life. I asked wether the company can pay more? She said YES. I asked why you dont do it then? You already know people cant live on this money. Why you pay less? She says: "Well this is how people work here". This is where I just turned my attention at other things. I just started pissing her off and finally after I got my fun out of it, I just told "I've got nothing else to say". She just scratched the paper with a pen and I this is how I knew they wont call me again. And they didn't.

why do you say cookiemonster so much? What does that mean again?

Thank you, thank you .. want me to come off my stool now?

Funny, other signs can boast like this and it's great!! Like an Aries !!!

I'm sitting here, going, "OMG, how vain of me"

Sorry, to sound so cocky ..

P...

We are talking about same things. I just took it further and started blaming them and telling that they dont know how to make business and that they shouldn't be in this business.

Oh, Haffo .. I guess that was missed .. sorry.

S702 ..cookiemonster is us cursing, such as:

B I T C H = bitch
S H I T = shit

Sometimes it freaks me out.

There are people who earn about 20 times more than ordinary people do. What is the difference.

Actually, Haffo, I think they were intimidated .. I can be very frightening.

"There are people who earn about 20 times more than ordinary people do"


There wasn't any smugness on (their) part, though .. lol, lessons come when you least expect it, doesn't it?

"There wasn't any smugness on (their) part, though .. lol, lessons come when you least expect it, doesn't it?"

What?

"Actually, Haffo, I think they were intimidated .. I can be very frightening."

Oh this is absurd. You are a female. If they were men, how could you intimidate them? Naw, most of the time they just make fun of you.

Oh I see, well I think you are being way to hard on yourself P-Angel, I think they liked you and will call you back. Smile 😄.

Hey S702, that's what we do .. make a powerful stand and then sit back and look at how miserable of a job we did .. I'm just beating myself over tooting my horn because it's a bad quality .. not really about the job itself, because I KNOW they were impressed.

Thanks Lady .. that was how I processed this should be approached, and made it my mission to show them that I am the one .. look no further. We'll see what happens.

Haffo, in the States, things run a little different .. over here .. women Rule !!

"Haffo, in the States, things run a little different .. over here .. women Rule !!"

Like what? You force them to take you into that job?

It's probably not even woman thing. They just make fun of you because they are in power and you are begging for job. Anytime, they can pick someone else and you can suck your elbow.

See, Haffo .. I don't beg for ANYTHING and that is because I am an American female who has attitude. So, in a situation such as this, it isn't a matter of will they choose me for the job .. it's will I choose them.

Of course, that's not the case .. such as, I will have to wait to see if they pick me over another person .. however, they don't know that .. they don't know that I will now sit back and worry about it ..

Laugh? I think not .. men don't do that over here with females. They used to, until they found out that we women will simply inform the appropriate agency that we are being discriminated agaisnt because of gender .. and next week, we will have that man's job, making twice the money. Is that bad? Yes .. but, that is what happened, and so now, men know .. they aren't superiour to us in any way.

Thanks, pp .. hoping for the best. My last interview, I felt like I wasn't being aggressive enough and let them be in charge .. so, I did this from the opposite position.

That wasn't a derogatory comment about Aries .. sorry if it came out that way. What I meant was, to them being that confident is a great thing to have .. whereas Pisces will do it and then feel guilty about it because they looked concieted, instead.

Sorry, FB, if you're listening and thought I meant it that way.

Oh P,

How long have you worked in market? 10 days?

Let me clear you something. Nobody will openly laugh at you. No materr you are man or WOMAN. They don't do that openly, they do it internally.

Second, they can discriminate you against anything they wish until you aware of it and trust me, 99 out 100 situations you wont know ANYTHING!

So, since this all is cleared, take your cockyness to somewhere else and have fun with it.

Oh PP,

Please stop licking ass. It wont help her. I know you want to motivate her, but this is a bad game you and all like you are doing. I was being smoldered like that alot before and I have to say it only does it worse. She had her fun, it's over.

Ask yourself a question, would you like to see someone in front of you who is begging for job being acting like a smartass while you have other tonns of things to do?

Trust me,

Most companies do say they like confident people, but in reality they dislike them. It's just another manevour to look "civilised" for which my stomach is full of this crap. None of the companies would like someone whom they simply cannot "control". Confidence and arrogance is going to the same box.

Having faith and having confidence are different things. Please dont confuse them. People can have faith without confidence and people can have confidece without faith which is also stupidity.

I'm sure 99% she wont have this job under normal circumstances. Unless in America work force is in shortage which is what it probably is, she's not going to there. If you want to go to the company with "confidence" you will have to back up your confidence with an idea or somethng else that company cannot do without you. If you dont have that, forget about confidence or better than that, dont go there at all if you want to look cocky.

"I don't ass lick,but I can put my size 9.5 foot up yours."

Be my guest. Come to Turkey and I will show you how big my feet is..on your face.

Haffo, I apologize, for clearly you've been offended. I wasn't trying to show power over you in any way, rather, explaining to you how and why things operate different in my country. Secondly, it must be understood that people in the US are VERY competitive and over-achievers and if I don't exercise my strengths in an interview, my resume will get tossed as soon as I walk out of the door.

pp, don't worry .. my confidence won't get shaken that easily.
I live with a Virgo 🙂🙂🙂 I can take ANYTHING critical slung my way 🙂
Thanks for the support and I really needed to hear your words .. they always help.

archer .. it was great !!!!! This whole thing really picked up my spirits because they really seemed like they were feeling me .. when the owner of the company came over and started asking questions, I knew I had them interested. And when I left, they were smiling .. while when the other two left, the HR man looked discouraged.

Thanks for the support .. and you're right, being on here has helped me .. it has helped in being able to endure under duress.

* hugs bunches to all friends

"Secondly, it must be understood that people in the US are VERY competitive and over-achievers and if I don't exercise my strengths in an interview, my resume will get tossed as soon as I walk out of the door. "

Do you belive they were stupid enough to NOT understand that you were bullshitting?

"-of course they know you are bullshitting them. they are well aware of that lol."

Then whats the point? They already know that you are what you are not with saying...

Yeah, um, Haffo .. this doesn't work on Pisces .. you should know that, mate.

Thank you Sweet-P .. they said that they had a couple more interviews this afternoon and would email everyone with the result either way.

I appreciate your words in here of support .. I'm not a stupid fish, no matter what anybody thinks .. my radar skills are my best quality and when I see two people before me fail at an interview and then when it's my turn, the first questions of his mouth are ones asking such things as, "Have you ever fired anybody?", "What if you caught an employee stealing, what would you do?", and, "How would handle a problem employee?".

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that they are looking for someone who isn't afraid to step up to the plate .. someone who can make those tough decisions and not have any emotional attachment to feelings .. and so I mean, hell yeah .. this is me naturally 🙂 I'm the one they are looking for.

When I answered, "I would fire them on the spot", to the stealing question, the HR man got a pleased look on his face .. apparantly from how the interviewing was going, I was getting the impression that their employees aren't in check .. I have the ability to put them in check .. if they don't adhere to company policy, and refuse to conform, I have NO problems firing away.

Anyway .. I know I'm the perfect match for them, and it doesn't matter what anybody says, otherwise .. they want a woman with balls .. she's right here.

Everyone was very sweet with their input and I appreciate all the tips.

(( hugs ))

Sounds like you did great...but am I wrong in interpreting your first post to say that you're intuiting you *didn't* get it? You would know with a feeling, one way or the other, the most likely outcome.

But asserting yourself and strutting it up within reason -not egotistical, but knowledgeable, which it sounds like you did, is always good in an interview.

No, I sensed that I did very good and anticipate getting hired. I was just coming back in and saying that after I reviewed what I typed and how I was feeling, that I might have been a tad too sure of myself .. however, now hours later .. I'm thinking along the lines of, not so much my performance in the interview, rather, what I sensed and their reactions on the intuitive level instead of the logical one.

Perhaps, some people will just interview and then walk out without reflecting on the different aspects, but, I can't do that .. every question, every reaction, every look on their face meant something.

Good Luck, P-Angel.

Good for you!!!

Also, don't forget to send a Thank You note.

Congrats on your interview....But since WHEN you need a long ass interview for a strip-club?


Im just teasing.

Sweet-P

That what I'm talking about. Only they will decide who will do what. But people are showing P-Angel as some sort of "winner" or "hero" that kicked their arse, while nobody can kick their arse. What is the point in bragging of oneself if the outcome is unknown?

Alright, Haffo .. maybe this will shed some light on it.

The success of my interview wasn't in actually getting the job, for it is indeed their decision as to whom they choose to employ.

The success was in the fact that I've been a housewife, since time began, and have little to no experience in marketing myself during the interview process. The last interview I went on, I failed miserably and instead of just doing the same old interview again, knowing that I failed myself .. instead, I went with another approach to try and improve my chances. So, during this new interview, for the fact that I was able to get thier attention and interest that long, as well as, the owner of the company .. that is my accomplishment in that I was able to do a healthy interview.

So, the success wasn't in obtaining the job, it was in my performance in an area where I have weak skills and I went in and conquered this, I won .. whether I get the job or not. Because now I know that I can be a valueable asset to a company with what I have to offer.

And, yes, you are right, bragging is a horrible quality .. that's why I came back and said I was the one being smug, and that lessons come when you least expect them.

How it ended P-Angel?

Beautifully, Haffo .. I gained confidence and experience, and have since sent out many resumes. That particular job, I apparantly didn't get .. but, it was still a success.

Actually, he said he would contact me either way, and I've not heard anything, so it may be he still hasn't made a decision.

P-Angel,

I can smell miles away a job that is not going to happen. I think you can too, you are just in denial.

And that was the point of my whole topic.

At least this is the reason why I don't brag about my experiences.

(According to yourf, I fuck their arses then, not just kick)

Denial?

Uh .. ok, whatever you say, Haffo. 🙂

Yes denial.

As if with "knowing something, but choosing to ignore what you know". You see, life sucks. And so the job life. There are too many stupid people around. Most of people are stupid. And so do enterprise owners. It's a normal process to stumb on dumb people. Normally, people just take this with grain and salt (or even hot pepper) and find another job spot. Generally, you can smell dumb people pretty fast.

Sweet-P

Please explain your *own* reaction whenever you stumble on similar situation.

You really have no idea what you're talking about with me, Haffo. Perhaps, this is how you feel for yourself and your own life experiences .. but, there's no way you can even begin to know how life feels for me.

Really?

Tell me what am I missing?
