I gotan appointment for an assessment center type thing at a possible future employer in about 1 1/5 hours. Wish me luck.

Update: It was just a written test. More sigh. The questions were shockingly easy. Too easy..

Make sure you look them straight in the eyes and puff out your chest. You must establish dominance early to win them over. Peeing in the office ficus wouldn’t help your chances, but wouldn’t hurt them either. Good luck.

Thank you! I’ll hopefully do what you adviced. And I’ll also try not to pee anywhere except the toilet.

Standard recommendations: take a shower, comb your hair, brush your teeth, shave, wear a coat and tie (unless they specifically tell you not to), bring a notepad and a pen to take notes, bring several copies of your resume, and be prepared to answer questions not just about you but also about them (like why you want to work for them, what do you know about their company, etc.).

Source: watching candidates fail on one or more of these things while interviewing with me.

Here’s what advice I gave my gf:

Go up to the biggest, meanest looking person in the office, Give them a couple light stabs with a knife, throw them on the ground and stand over them while yelling “this one is mine now! I own this office!”

It doesn’t hurt to pee on everyone's leg.

I stabbed the boss. Can anyone here bail me out?

Check, check, check, check and check. I wore a striped dress shirt, jeans (really) and Timberland boat shoes. I think I was at least the 2nd best dressed person there. The others looked like they just came from school. To be fair, we all were about 17-19 years old.

If you got arrested you weren't dominant enough

That was the trick I guess. Should’ve taken hostages. Dammit

It matters not your age. just think how much more of a statement you would have made in a suit!

Seriously, when I got my first job out of college, my boss told me that everyone who applied was qualified and affable, but I was the only one who wore a suit.

I probably should have worn a suit. Well, it’s too late now.

Experience is the best teacher. If you don’t get the job, do a follow-up and ask them what they found lacking. It’s the best way to learn how to improve yourself for the next go-around.
