Flyfisher, I'm just giving you a hard time. I better stop before somebody gets their feelings hurt and I end up banned. I got a warning last night, so I better not push it.

  • Remember to interview him the sametime he interviews you to see if want to work There. Also ask if they offer any education and a 401k savings plan. Ask about medical coverage too. At onetime I h

    What Bigbill said. Take as much knowledge from this as you can. You would be surprised where you can find a use for it later in life. I worked at a Bed Bath and Beyond for a four month stretch after

    401k is a retirement plan. Some will hire you on the spot. Some will call you. Listen to your gut. If uou don't think your gonna like the job, then either politely decline it or ask them to let you

lol it's all good.  If my feelings got hurt over this i would have to hand in my man card, or since i am so proficient in online work i could probably just scan it and email it....

LOL! Yea, I can't ever say I have had my feelings hurt by a total stranger on the internet.

I disagree with the advice to ask about the various job benefits. What you are trying to accomplish in an interview is to sell the interviewer on your high level of interest in the company, your skills and how you can help the company attain its sales and profit objectives.

 

The time to talk about salary and benefits is when (and if) you get an offer. By showing too much interest in what's in it for you, you could possibly deter an offer.

 

Good luck.

I disagree. In an interview I want to get to know as much about them as they do about me. How can my skills help them. How can they make use of my skills. What are they offering me for my skills. How can I further and hone my skills while working there.

Yeah, it is all about me in that interview. Money is the third thing to be brought up. After the what I do, and what they do. If the money isn't there, then there is no reason to continue. Your time is valuable, and my time is valuable. I'm always polite and courteous in my interviews. I've never rudely declined a job in an interview before. It all comes down to benefits and money.

Marty is right. Generally you don't talk money until either 1.a second interview or 2. An offer has been made.

For a job at the mall they will probably tell you or your going to get one interview and inquire after an offer has been made.

After the interview, don't forget to write a thank you letter!

It probably a part time job, benefits don't exist for part-timers. Pointless in asking.

Do you do that on dates as well?

What's your occupation?

Might want to try googling interview thank you letters. Pretty common practice.

I'm joking. Might want to Google a sense of humor. Not a real common practice to have, especially on internet forums.

Its what sets you apart from everyone else trying to get the/a job. Before you try to be an *******, know your stuff.

You posted as I said this haha. my mistake.

Yea I guess your right. What do I know? I just see people struggling to find employment everyday. Might as well throw some humor and confusion into the mix for a young fella asking for advice.

Sorry, I sometimes forget that there are people out there who have their undies so far up their butt that they really have no sense of humor. I will be sure to make sure I never make a joke again when you are involved. Please accept my sincere apologies.

 

Now, carry on with your uptight life.

  • Super User

I just think it is funny that your "humor" isn't really understood by anyone other than yourself.....maybe it is time for some new material.

 

I just figured when I said something about a Thank You letter for a date, that most people would figure it was a joke.

 

I wouldn't expect you to get it either. You come off as a pants up the rear kind of guy too.

Apparently I'm the only one with a sense of humor. I got it right away. That junk was hysterical.

I only send thank you notes if I make it worth their while. Otherwise nope.

Places give second interviews?!?

I've never heard of such. Guess I learned something new today.

We all know you are a little "off" anyways :)

 

In a trade, yeah i wouldn't send a thank you note either.  in a retail or professional environment it is pretty standard stuff and could be the deal breaker between two pretty equal candidates.

I've always thanked them for their time. Shook hands and went on my merry way.

Just learned something else new.

Corporate people are strange.

That ain't bad for 41 credits. Least its going quick.

Nah and the last 12 weeks are student teaching which is 8 of those 41 that are left.  No breaks though which is gonna get old eventually but it's all good and will be worth it to do something i want and give me the time to hang out with my son more as he gets older.

Least your doing it for the right reasons. I see too many people languishing and hating their jobs. Yet they are too lazy or unmotivated to make a change. I respect what you are doing.
