You ever have an interview and not get the job?

[Bussy_Getta]

Every interview I've had with a woman I didn't get the job....

 

[b'mer...]

At the end of the interview, when they ask u " so...do u have any questions?" Sale this little trick by gasing them up and seeming very interested, then ask them what was the last book that they have read. Sale it 100% and ur in there. Good as gold!

Good question to ask your interviewer when they ask if you have any questions.

"What types of problems is the company facing and how would hiring me help you solve those problems?"

You can also ask: "Can you give me some examples of how I would be collaborating with my manager/supervisor?"

I like to stand up during my interviews as well. It's just always something I've done. If I'm not buddy buddy with my interviewers by the end of the interview, I feel I won't get the job.

I started my new career with the FDIC as a Bank Examiner last year...

1100 applicants for this position, only 50 of us chosen to be flown out to D.C. for a 3 day interview. They only gave 16 of us offers at the end of the 3rd day (less than 1.5%). Then we had to pass the Public Trust background check.

When I got my offer I straight felt like Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happiness when he got the offer from Dean Witter.

And I was the only nigga there too?

niggas looking like carlton out here.

 

[soul rattler]

I lie on all my resumes and applications

Whatever the job is..... I got years of experience

I just make shit up

Ever since I started doing that I aint been without a job

Shit I've turned down jobs, tf you mean

You might be joking, but seriously don't. Good companies do background checks and call references. I damn sure will if there is the slightest thing suspect on your resume or if your story doesn't sound right.

Meh, niggas are going to do what they need to do to feed their family, and of course he has the references on deck lol. The fuck you thought this was?.. Shit, maybe the companies should stop asking for outlandish experience, knowing damn well everyone that fits that description is already hired. It's almost age discrimination on most of that shit. They be like "20+years and a PMP", translation: old white male.

Side note: If you're a black person interviewing other black (qualified) people you need to "even the odds" a bit, and hire more so based on potential and aptitude. I know you're probably doing the exact opposite as niggas in your position stay scared to make moves SMH.

Project on someone else.

I promise you, you don't know what you're talking about.

 

[the dukester]

Hell yeah.

Shits just like going to court. Get all dressed up with a suit & tie, and STILL go to jail.

I've been on plenty of interviews, and never got the job.

Sometimes I think I was used as a "box-check" for these companies to show via job candidate data, that they're not engaging in discriminatory hiring practices.

You can tell when a interview is going South, when they ask you questions related to your behavior/character, rather than your skillset.

 

[G.Avant]

Fuck interviews...straight like dat lol

 

[lord nemesis]

Plenty of times. I hate the job hunt process

I just asked these 2 questions this morning. The panel of 3 were blown back and repeated how good the questions were. I want to personally thank you and am glad I looked at this thread last night before bed.

I had an interview for an internship and the company never called me back...as it turns out I actually had a class with someone who applied for the same internship and got the offer. Funny thing is...my grades are better than his are, my knowledge of the subject is better than his, my desire to learn is better than his (he's lowkey a dumbass), and my social skills are better than his. (We're both in school for information technology, so you know how lowkey and arrogant some techies can be, I'm pretty chill and easy to get along with though. He's the type that assumes you're wrong and talks over you, even if what he's saying makes no sense)

So he's white and I'm black...which leads me to believe that either

- I got skipped over because I'm black

- or he talked so loud in the interview the managers assumed he knew what he was talking about (even though he struggles with the basics of networking) and gave him the job. I'm willing to bank it's the first option tho.

To be honest I saw it coming though, during the interview I felt like the questions they asked me were a bit pointed than they should be...almost as if they were TRYING to prove I couldn't perform. It got to the point where they were asking me about specific port numbers, acronyms, and a whole bunch of it stuff that had nothing to do with the internship.

This is often the case. In many cases if you Black you really got to be in ya face superman at whatever you do..........they gon 0 always doubt you if...and when you're not

Ya boy had an interview at Target. I was sat down in the waiting room with the rest of the interviewees. Every single one of us was Black. I thought to myself "this is gonna be interesting." Then a White dude walked in to be interviewed as well, but he was a dummy cause he was dressed like a normal ass dude in jeans and vans and all he did was put on a button up shirt. The rest of us were dressed up with ties and proper attire and what not. We all got interviewed. After I didn't get a call, I had my homie who hooked me up with the interview ask the hiring manager what was really good and she said "oh we decided not to hire anyone at this time."
