folkinz.: some things.

folkinz:

  • Today, exactly 5 months ago, I was laid off.
  • Totally accepting job offers or tips if you have them.
  • I’ve started watching The Sopranos and am almost finished with season one. I have two more episodes to finish tonight and then maybe I’ll recap it or something. IDK. What I do know is that I…

I got a year (Saturday) on you so here are lesser known (yet still vital) job tips:

1. Always ask to use the bathroom after the interview. You don’t want to risk working somewhere with a gross bathroom that you wouldn’t feel comfortable shitting at. They don’t tell you this stuff in college.
2. Try to get an interview on a Friday. People are in better moods and you can check their attire and see if at the very least Casual Friday exists there.
3. Bring water if you can. Some places don’t offer any and interviews can go as long as 3 hours (or more, omg). One time my mouth got so dry my lips got stuck to my gums which made my fake smiles even harder to execute.

If anyone gets a job from this, please give me a cut from your first paycheck.
