Dorado Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 So I got a call today from Dell computers asking me if I can come in tomorrow for an interview. I'm so excited about this. Gonna have to drive 6 hours tomorrow but I think it'll be worth it. Got any tips I should know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Good Luck! P.S. I don't think your underwear will have anything to do with the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I've done a lot of interviews. Sit on the edge of the chair, be enthusiastic, tell them this is the opportunity you have been looking for, Say you can't wait to get started, ask when you can start. It is hard to turn down a candidate that is not only qualified but can't wait to dive in and get started. I used to tell my kids to wag their tail like a puppy that wants a treat. You can laugh, but it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 I wonder if I should shave my mustache. I've got a real nice and kept handlebar, clean shaven otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulshan 20262 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I wonder if I should shave my mustache. I've got a real nice and kept handlebar, clean shaven otherwise. I would say go to their website and see if you can find pictures of others with facial hair. It should not be an isue these days, but would be good to check. Prayers sent.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If your interviewer(s) make a political joke or statement, just smile. Try not to comment about politics or religions. And because you live in Texas, you better know something about high school football... Another thing... check out the office you are being interviewed as you enter. If you see a particular item that signifies a certain college, say something good about that college.....IF the subject comes up. Or something good about their football team. If you see a baseball, football, etc..... on the shelf/bookcase/desk, remember to say something positive about that sport, if the subject comes up. If your interviewer says something about the World Series and you know nothing about who is playing, just say "its an exciting time of year for sports fans". If a Lady interviews you and you notice a family picture on the desk, don't ask if its her family and children. NEVER comment on anyones clothes, man or woman. You don't want to give any outward impressions of trying to 'suck up'. And if possible, try not to say "YES MAAM" or "YES SIR". The person you are speaking with may look like one gender but actually another. Just say..... "YES". And SHINE YOUR SHOES and wear socks. Very important. And PLEASE, leave your pocket protector at home..... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorado Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 So, drove down there, about a 5 hour drive. Interview went well I think. I should be hearing back from them sometime next week. I really hope I get this job. I just about overloaded on loafing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Turn your cell phone OFF. Sell yourself, but don't oversell yourself. And for heaven's sake be interested in what the interviewer is saying. I used to eliminate people, no matter their qualifications if they didn't seem interested in what I was telling and asking them.
