Mr B has some more interview tips for his loyal reader, based upon the interview he had on Friday. This interview did not go particularly well. Mr B came to a depressing realisation that he had not prepared sufficiently.
He did research the company, dress appropriately, and remember to shower. He was polite, non sweary, and had memorised all the lies on his resume.
However...he was asked to describe mistakes he had made in his last job, and what he learned from them. As the reader of this blog will know, Mr B has made many mistakes at work. But could he think of any he was willing to share with a prospective employer?
The infamous 'Discocunts' typo? Sending the flats with a left and right page transposed? Telling the production manager to Fuck Off? Mr B sensed these incidents would not help.
The interviewers then asked Mr B about Personality Conflicts. Mr Baskerville had many such conflicts in his last workplace. Again, with the production manager, the racist, homophobic production manager who once showed a photo of a naked woman to two of his female employees as an 'amusing joke'.
Mr B however wanted to appear like a model employee who never told anyone they were a Fucking Asshole.
He mumbled something about being a People Person, not even convincing himself. He doubts he will hear from that company again.
