  • how to GET an interview?!

  • @doctordoctordocism drop off a resume

  • @bebosaurus1 i was referring to the lack of jobs in the US right now. yes, i know how to "get" a job... but if there are no any jobs available..............

  • @doctordoctordocism go to a job center.

  • @doctordoctordocism kill somebody and take their job.

  • ... and you lost the receipt for that $300.00 suit and failed the interview!

    Better take more acting lessons, or watch "How To Be A Successful Industry Cocksucker."

  • "How To Ace a Job Interview"

    1.Take good acting lessons.

    2.Speak perfectly good.

    3.Dress like you give a shit.

    4.Fake confidence and several other personality traits that you don't really have.

    5.Maintain eye contact, as if the person you're looking at is worth trusting.

    6.Be prepared to bend over at all times! Disobey and you can be fired in a HEART BEAT even after you acted like you gave a shit in that $300.00 suit.

  • forget all these other tips, just show up dressed like that guy and u will get the job forsure!! lol

  • And If you have no work experience, how do you go about getting your first job?

  • @gacel92 Apparently, in the "work industry," you can't work without experience. BUT you need to work to get experience.

    You try and figure out the rest!

  • @gacel92

    I've just graduated from college and without any work experience I assume I'm pretty screwed. Anyways, life goes on.

  • I have a job interview @ Finishline what should I wear?

  • Going for my first job interview tomorrow. Thanks for these tip and wish me luck!

  • Ikea job interview tommorow, first job, wish me look tooo

  • just a question, can i actually ask them for the pay rates or is that a bad idea because it isnt stated and i wanna know if its worth it to work there.

  • They are round so they dont fall through the hole.

  • Thanks! XD I hope these advices work

  • lol @ step 5 he's trying to CQC the interviewer

  • I wasn't late to my first interview but I was late to orientation. Still got the job and has worked here for 3 years now. Ready to go.

  • This is hilarious and spot on. Techcrunch reported rumors of a 20% layoff coming at Yahoo. They should watch this for guerrila job interview prep!

  • Manhole covers are round because it the best shape for allowing a mans body to comfortably fit through it. Whereas a square or triangle world need to be alot bigger than the circle inorder to fit the average mans body through them.

  • manhole covers are round because it is the only shape that wont fall through or jam if it happens to be dropped accidentally.

  • I hope that receptionist speaks English well :J

  • I want one of those candy necklaces!

  • this doesnt help at all.. this is like a bad play.. horrible.

  • Because corners promote cracking and subsequent failure.

  • I love the fact that they said, "Firm and DRY handshake" Haha.

  • I guess if I put the interviewer into submission, he can be forced to get me the job.

  • interviewer: why is a manhole round?

    me: have you ever seen squared shit...

    interviewer: odd face

    me:thats not what you meant is it ok im out

    interviewer: thx

  • @felixcruzazul LOL! Nice one!

  • @felixcruzazul Hahaha, yea I think the interview would be busting his guts and telling everyone in the office what you just said.

  • The audio script was useful.

    The video was of no value.

  • I thought a manhole cover was a maxy pad !

  • Comment removed

  • whats a manhole?

  • manhole covers are round in order to COVER the ROUND hole in the road.

  • I was at an interview to be hired as a waiter. The last question of the interview was a point blank "tell me a joke, right now." So I had to think quick and I told a really racist joke. I got the job lol

  • wrong, all African-American people are not sluggish, rude, or lazy. I mean c`mon man really!?

    Why all the racism???

  • your right.. the slaves were very productive. i guess not all African Americans are not lazy, rude, or sluggish.

  • Look dude, i was being serious. Yes i know that some blacks today are lazy as all get out, but atleast those of us who try get where we need to go!

    So no matter how smart or disrespectful you get im going to be straight up^ with you even if you cross the line.

    I mean not all whites have something to show for thier selves either. No disrespect but its true!!!

  • lol dude im just messing with you, some of my good friends are black. everyone's racist, want me to prove it?

    im not white, but you assume i am since i made a comment about blacks.

  • uhh sure, I`d like to know how everyone is racist!!.

    yeah i did, soo what are you then??

    if you took anything i said the wrong way, my apologies man!!((i was jus being forthwright)) ya know so sorry!!

  • im asian. dont worry i dont take offense to almost anything.

    everyone has a preconceive image of how a person is based on their race. for example, you think im white because i made a comment about blacks. hell, you might even think im some hillbilly in alabama posting comments on youtube while taking a swig of moonshine. see thats racism too.

  • woooow, never thought about it that way!!!

    oooooooooowellum forget about the racism whats your hobbies...??((get to know eachother, ya know))

  • not so

  • it`s round because ninja turtles like it round. easy to throw like a freebies to shredder. heheheh

  • that sending thank you cards was too much.

  • I always talk shit about the horrible jobs Ive worked sometimes about my horrible coworkers,I wish to sound like a team player,but at some of these jobs I did all the work while idiots stood by and gabbed and the horrible management wouldnt do anything about it then I start ranting about how much better I am than all those pukes and how they couldnt wipe their ass without me and the company had to lay off and almost went bankrupt after I left

  • The thing that I stumble with is the Strength and Weaknesses part. ...GRRRR!!!

  • and don't have bad breath my girlfriend went for a interveiw with coffee breath

  • very funny

  • what is a manhole?

  • Lol really, you don't know what a manhole is?

    It's a round covering on streets and stuff that usually leads into the sewers and what not

    I'm not sure why they're round though, maybe easier access? hmm

  • Well, if you really want to know...

    Man holes are round so the lid cannot fall back down the hole when you put it back on.

  • its round because if you turn the cover any way or angle it won't fall down the manhole

  • that's too much of ass kissing!

  • you must ass kiss and turn off all your original thought or they will not hire you,they are not looking for creative people,they need someone just smart enough to do the job and is willing to work hard, but not smart enough to ask questions and they definately don't want people with high self worth,you must pledge allegiance to the company and take what they give you,you must give them years of your life and do everything asked of you including unclogging toilets until you are dead,and smile

    I ACCIDENTALY thumbed you down , everything you said is true, they want us to be a modern slave and be happy about it

  • never bad mouth former employers or bosses

  • good advice

  • Don't forget that the standard man hole COVER can not fall into the man hole itself. Unlike a square cover for example...

  • round = most area, least circumference

  • I think manhole covers are round because manholes are normally round.

  • @netruno whats a manhole?

  • If a manhole is round, it prevents the cover from falling in, turned either way.

  • @netruno Manhole covers are round because it is the only geometric shape that will not fit inside itself

  • @netruno 

  • Comment removed

  • not the pipes, the covers! its so the cover can never fall into the pipe.

  • idk about the thankyou cards. most people and hiring companies see that as odd. I know my companies do.

  • agreed, But you know what when i hired this one guy. Hes gave me a thank you letter. It was cute but still different. But for sure he stands out from the others.

  • Comment removed

  • i wish i saw this two weeks ago

  • For chirt's sakes, manhole covers are round because they're the only shape that can't fall through the hole if tipped on it's side, but can still fit properly in the hole.

  • Agreed

  • tut, they are round because a round circle is the most secure structure, A triangle or a square would have different levels of stress points and break.

    Same reason you get archways and subways are round, as well as marine shark tunnels you get in sea-world, its the only structure strong enough. :D

  • so why are man holes round?

  • man holes r round because if it was shaped like a triangle u might not b able to fit.eww sounds a lil wrong lol

  • MERCENARY!!!!!

  • lol give him a choke..

  • i want a job career for boxing

  • Microsoft probably ask that question because Apple did it 3 years earlier.

  • the covers are round for the same reason bottle caps are round

  • No. the covers are round because it's a lot easier to cover the hole once their done and it doesn't fall in the hole either

  • the covers are round for the same reason pizza pies are round. and for the same reason plates are round. and for the same reason buttons are round. and for the same reason goat poop is round...

  • I'm just wondering. How many of you guys out there who don't like this have had an interview for a job?

  • The manhole questin would have made me thnking for hours lol

  • Why are manhole covers round, anyway?

    Jk.

  • so that the covers can't fall into the manhole

    rectangular or square covers can fall into the hole if placed diagonally

  • Whoa, you're smart. :)

  • He said JK... You're an idiot XD

  • wow you're a genius aren't you, take a second look he didn't say JK and his logic makes sense.

    think before you speak, or just don't speak at all

  • damet she did die..

  • what a gay way to present this topic.

  • I know this is dumb as hell. This doesn't have a single good tip anyone who isn't a retard wouldn't naturally do anyway.

  • either that or graduate high school and be a mail man, making 20$ per hour starting pay, and your working in a safe secure company, the U.S.A !

  • hmm...wow...

    I didnt know that the only way of really BEING somebody involved killing people and/or being at risk of getting killed.

    I'll stick to supporting the troops, you ass.

    Have a nice day. =)

  • That is because you are a candy ass.

  • man your a tool dude...

  • i love howcast! it is a tutorial of an every ( or not) day life for people who arent sure

  • Ace the interview:

    1. Take any job they have in China or Vietnam for a 1.50 a day.

    2. When they ask this question; where do you SEE yourself in 5 years? say: If I knew the answer to that question I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you would I?

    3: Never stay with a company for more than 3 years. Make sure to take your client list when you leave.

    4: Never go into banking or reach the age of 45.

    5; Tell corporate America to go screw itself; Start your own business.

  • Pray first before you go to you job interview and have the affirmation..be confident enough,and think you can do it!

    That's it! ^.^

    Slot's occupied for others?

    the exceeds is Yours! ^.^

    GOOD LUCK and Congratulations!!!

  • So what you saying is don't be a retard like the retard in your video!!!

  • All of this stuff is just common sense.

  • that last step was hopeless! I've never heard of that before ...

  • Actually, it's a good idea to send a thank you note or card, and to be prepared to answer critical thinking questions. It's very well known by those who study and work on good communication skills.

  • I used this video's advice in my last interview...and it didn't work so well  :\

  • Man ive got my MCds job interview & I feel fucked & unlucky. Its my 2nd job interview 1st job if i get it.

  • The dude in the camo gear, isn't he the guy who used to be married to Jessica Simpson !?! NICK I think !

  • y r manholes round?

  • cuz ur gay

  • Maybe to save materials. Cutting corners off of a square can save money and can be recycled to form more manhole covers.
