Job Interview

No underwear is sexy underwear, right?

 

Wow a lot of sass in this thread. I don't have much advice but just be yourself and be prepared. Make sure you have a nice copy of your resume and possibly references. I know it seems standard for all interviews but I don't know how many times I've seen people being interviewed and say "well didn't I email you all that?"

 

Be prepared to answer a question about a situation that challenged your ethics and how you handled it. That one killed me once, never saw it coming.

 

know their products and learn their portfolio. if there are any beer styles you are unsyre of read up on it.
worst question ive been asked was what is my best trait, followed by what is my worst trait. i was very unready for the second question.
always get their email to send a thank you letter to, and dont use hotmail, many places filter that out. i had a great interview where i thought no way am i not getting it, sent a thank you via hotmail.... turns out they filter that and they never got it.
make sure your fly isnt down.

 

I agree. Know their products, their position in the local market, who their primary customers are. If it's publicly traded what the share price is, anything related helps. Let them know your a beer fanatic and it's a hobby as well as a job.

If the ask a bad trait or something you'd like to improve , make it a positive one. Not like I'm sometimes lazy and don't feel like going to work. More like I'm OC about being early, like 15 minutes early makes me feel like I'm late. I I'm OC about really small details. Everyone has a weakness just turn it as positive as you can.

 

also use the right your or you're. i wouldnt over stress the beer fanatic thing, you may come off sounding like an alcoholic but i would view it as a positive that you keep up with the industry already on your own terms. try not to say umm and uhh.

research not only the conpany but the responsabilities of the possition as well as going salary.
ALWAYS ask questions too. but it semms you know the basics and are lookibg more qt job specific details.
qnyway good luck keep us ipdated.
also dont type on your phone, you will get spelling like me and my fat fingers.

 

Take a printout of this thread and show it to the person who is interviewing you, then say nothing and see how it goes.

 

Does anyone really have an issue with this in speech?

 

I just say "youre."

 

Tell them you already know all the distributor's truck routes thanks to truck-chasing for KBS.

 

If ask about any tough situations in previous jobs or ways to improve yourself, ALWAYS have something to say. don't say "MY worst trait is that I am perfect" have somethign to say, and talk about your stratiges to improve it, or if asked when a time came at a job you had to handle a tough situation, have something to say. Talk about what you did and didn't do and How you've learned from the experience.

The Interviewer wants to see how you've grown from your experiences and that you're able to think critically about things.

 

I hope you let us know how it goes

 

So how did that interview go last week?

 

I'm surprised nobody gave the most important advice: DO NOT TALK SHIT ON BMC!
