Okay a little back story. I work at a legal office at the front desk. Beside us there is a large company that is constantly having interviews for new reps. Needless to say at least 4 times a week we have job interviewers accidentally coming through our door instead of the company doing the hiring.
Now…if you are going to a job interview:
…don’t show up wearing the clothes you wore to the club the night before.
…don’t show up smelling like you just tested every bottle of cologne or perfume at the local mall..at each and every department store.
…don’t show up smelling like you test every cigarette lot that comes out of Winston
…don’t show up smelling like you just unhooked your I.V. from the tap at the local bar.
…don’t show up smelling like you haven’t had a bath for three or four days.
…don’t show up with your 5 doorstep kids in tow and ask me if it’s okay to leave them here while you go over there. Do I look like Mary Poppins to you?
…don’t show up wearing your corner clothes…I don’t want to see your assets nor your twins. I can’t speak for the men who work in my office just for the heterosexual women here. I’m sure their employment ad wasn’t for a stripper nor personal escort and considering you can’t follow directions I doubt you’d come highly recommended as you probably can’t find your Johns either.
…don’t show up looking like you haven’t had any sleep for the last four days.
…don’t show up with your blue-tooth on your ear talking to it and me at the same time while I’m trying to tell your dumb ass you are in the wrong building.
…don’t ask me if you can use my phone or if I can call this number you’ve scribbled on a want ad.
…don’t tell me that you know you are in the right place. We aren’t hiring.
…The suit and tie was a good idea. If you aren’t going to wear a jacket how about you tuck in your shirt tails it ruined the professional interviewee look.
more to come.
