If you are going for an interview soon, keep these foolproof rules in mind. They work very well in the health care setting, but you could also make it work in any situation.
- Do not show up late under any circumstance. The boss does not appreciate it. If she has to wake up at an unGodly hour of 5:50 in the morning, you better get your ass here by 11:30. Dammit.
- When asked what your weaknesses are, don't say " I cry too much" and then proceed to cry uncontrollably. It makes for a very uncomfortable interview and it makes the manager want to cry, too.
- When asked what strengths you might have, do not say "I'm not paranoid. Sometimes, I just think everyone's talking about me. But not all the time. Just most of the time." The manager will believe you because then you are no longer paranoid. She IS talking about you.
- When asked if you have a high school diploma, please HAVE a high school diploma. It's quite embarrassing for you when you have to go back to 10th grade and finish your Physical Eduation requirement at the age of 35.
- If you are asked how your peers would describe you, do not say "lazy and slow" because SURPRISE- the manager will believe you.
Thank you.
