Looking for a job

Quote:

7) Didn't have good answers to questions like: what are 3 bad points of your personality.

If you're going for a sales job the INSTANT WIN here is saying you're an impulse shopper.

Or you say "if I told you I was a pathological liar as my first bad point would you believe my next two?" If they dont laugh say you make lame jokes too often.

I've never had a job interview where I didn't get the job but whatever, I'm a suckhole. Just be a suckhole.

How ya doing, buddy?

So you're aiming for a PR position or something?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I see teenagers with face piercings and spiked hair working fast-food places all the time - so is it likely that long hair is really going to be shooting myself in the foot so much?

Employers are conservative by nature. Short cropped hair is tidy, makes the person look less unique and wont present a safety risk.
There are plenty of employers who wont care of course, shops that want to be trendy, labour hire companies that take anyone etc. but for your run of the mill manager who expects his workers to be coming into contact with the public reguarly OR operating machinery taht hair could be caught in, long hair isn't something they want to see.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
