  • Well, my weaknesses are that i like setting buildings on fire and having sex with every guy in the workplace.... not!!!!! lol

  • @keshalashay That would get their attention

  • I've gotten better at interviews, but I still HATE those questions. "Name a time you did this" I usually just say "Well, I did a lot of that in such-and-such job" and go into a little detail. FUCK trying to come up with just ONE example. What am I, super memory guy?? I was with each of my former employers for about a year on average. I don't remember every little fucking moment, esp. when the work is routine (not that that's a bad thing; routine is my thing).

  • @whoo689 They are very annoying

  • I see we're exporting our stupid job interview questions overseas....sorry you have to deal with that.

  • @TheExRepublican Some of them are disturbingly stupid

  • @AngryAussie There are few things I loathe in life more than job interviews....a major reason I stay at my current job is the thought of being asked these idiotic questions, or even worse...when they start asking "why" over and over well past the point of getting to the bottom of something....

  • I didn't get the job I interviewed for yesterday.

    Even worse, I won't be allowed to return to doing what I used to do. Worse b/c my overstressed reactions to certain conspiracy theorists affected my ability to handle stress at work.

    I have PTSD, stress-disorder related to watching my ex-husband die in the World Trade Center.

    But I'm so angry at those asinine 'truthers,' I'm going to make a video telling them to grow a life.

    I know what happened at work was my fault, but I'm sick of truthers.

  • My recommendation if you make that video would be to close off comments to it.

  • Fucked somthing up LOL i would have said excuse me...

    Ow thats what i thought you said hmm

    What was your answer?

  • My first response was to laugh

  • man the question " what are your weaknesses? i can not answer

    i dont know if he meant food or in the Job market... i was gonna say in an interview just recently " i nearly fucked my interview up because i thought he was referring to food lol.. i wish they can say is specific so you know what they talking about lol

  • Their questions are just stupid

  • I remember when i went to an interview for a tatooing apprenticeship, they basicly took down all my efforts and artworks and said i was a crap artist.

    I almost cried then and punched them in the face, I spent months working on that portfolio.

  • I don't think tattooists are renowned for their interpersonal skills.

  • I got asked a question like that... I can't remember how I answered, but I didn't get the job. XD

  • They're stupid questions.

  • They're trick questions, & I've been told that some are even illegal to ask.

  • They're ridiculous.

  • london job interview are so fucking mental and skanky

    how do you face and tackle rejection??? I punch people rejecting me staight in their faces!!!

    but at least some more jobs than in Poland.

  • Stare them in the eye and scream "NOBODY REJECTS ME!"

  • that's what i wanted to learn, exactly

    thanks angry aussie

    you know what, i met a couple of aussies in the uk and it happend i liked all of them unlike so many humourless english types

    and also my godmother, she lives in melbourne married with a scottish decended aussie :))))

  • I'm a scottish descended aussie :)

  • but at least you hopefully don't speak scottish english which is till date a mistery to me :)))) so funny to listen to

    we've got a scottish repat/expat or whatever in my home town in Poland and even though I understood 99% even of cockney when I lived in london I couldn't tell head or tails from what he was trying to say! maybe it was due to some beers he had downed :)

  • LMAO

  • You don't live that far north of me. I'm in Florida, too.

  • lol, nice... =P Still, i'd like to hire someone who I know can fuck things up a bit... it makes life more interesting. =P

    OMG, whats wrong with your face? ( I really should watch that 8 min vid to find out the answer. =P)

  • Indeed you should - although there's a good chance we actually discussed everything that in that video on the weekend.

  • =D lol, I reckon. Anyway, good to see you came out of the closet. =P

  • I found the coincidence of Thor leaving Melbourne Florida to visit Melbourne Australia pretty funny.

  • i hate job interveiws i had 1 the other day and 1 of the questions was do u have any drug problems or adictions. it was tempting to put well im adidcted to heroin in fact im completely out of my head right now...lol

  • That's another question I think they're actually not allowed to ask.

  • You're awesome, the idea of you doing this cracks me up. But don't get in too much trouble on my account.

  • lol lol lol nice

  • Good job!really sounds nice!

    congratulations !

  • I'm quite looking forward to it.

  • Nice!

  • I just got a job 2 months ago. The interview was with the CEO of the company. we spent 75% of the interview talking about the Tony Ferguson diet. Totally unrelated to a telco.

    Thanks for As One buddy!

  • Thanks for being part of the day!

  • XD lol I hate interviews! I hate the random questions to see how quick of a thinker you are....they're like, "If you were a Big Mac, what condiment would you be?" WTF. Hate it. Yeah, I think next interview, I should answer something about having some form of bodily issue, for my 'greatest weakness.' Haha. Like, "Oh, yeah...I've got this...ingrown toenail..." or something like that. Haha. Funny video!

  • I always like to make them look like dorks by saying "wouldn't our time be used better talking about things that might actually be of value?"

  • I did that once I went for a job with Radio Rentals and this chick was new at the game.She was so fucking bad she was reading questions off notes and it was all in the negative.I was like "is there going to be a chance to actually sell myself than tell you what Im shit at?"

    First time I ever got shitty in an interview.

  • That's when you know you don't want the job.

  • Haha right on!

  • My answer re the "Maccas question."

    If I were a condiment Id be the ketchup/sauce so I can fall on you and stain your shirt just to fuck your day up LOL

  • Haha I like that one a lot!!

  • Hows this for shit I just got an email for a position I applied for a year ago.How does go get your guts fucked sound I forgot all about your cruddy job that pays half of what Im on now.Fucktard recruitment agencies

  • Recruitment agencies suck

  • Id hate to start a job this time a year. I'm just hanging on for dear life just to get to the end of the year and vacation time.December is the most unproductive waste of space on the calendar.Well for me anyway

  • The life of a contractor is always thus

  • ergh job interviews blow... I got asked the most stupid question " How are you getting hurled abused at?" errr you know i never really thought about it idiot! id prefer not to get abused aimed my way you know sheesh and this interview was for a fish and chip shop, how often do people throw abuse at them *stares*

  • It all depends on if I'm wearing my estrogen patch or not.If I'm not I WOULD KILL THEM ALL!!

  • Apart from the estrogen patch that's basically my response.

  • Guess what my response to that would be?

  • see my advantage is i'm a musician. My competition for jobs is from people that either have drug problems or can't be organized enough to show up on time consistently.

  • hahahah way to recommend a career choice!

  • I had a job interview... i was all ready for it, i did the interview. After it i had plans for the rest of the day, and at the end of the interview my boss said "you start in 2 hours"

  • I start on Monday :) Just found out.

  • What was your answer? Getting caught at the last job? :P

  • Basically, not hiding the bodies well enough.

  • I could give some pointers on that!!

  • I hate going through the interview process. It doesn't matter which side of the desk you're on or how many times you have done them, it really bites.

  • Yeah, it's a real pain.

  • okay, So my question is.. Why is the mas- HA! gotcha!. No what did story did you tell him?... I would like to hear this story, i bet its pretty good.

  • OK I might do that in another video.

  • hahahaahaha it's become a catchphrase!

  • Ha Ha!

    Thats funny

  • what are your weaknesses- I have a bad habit

    of Fucking the bosses Wife !! ,but your not

    going to hold that against me are you??

  • The big question is does the boss' wife think this is a good thing?

  • =0...no mask?

  • Nope, I explained this in the previous video.

  • you're hired!!

    weaknesses.......let me think......2 girls 1 cup videos!

  • That makes me very weak!

  • I didnt even last 10 secs before I stopped it

  • You'll get hairy palms if you don't stop completely.

  • the video not the knuckle shuffle:P

  • Oh sure, that's what you tell us

  • I have never heard of that "weakness" question.Any job I ever had they ask,"are you breathing?Can you show up at 9 am?"

  • hahahaaha we work in different fields, obviously.

  • I am a contractor too I like the fact that I make the interviewers look like fools but in a professional way and they liked me and now I work for a major internet provider for the states making good money XD. The only down side is that I deal with some really dumb people.

  • That's the problem with working - dealing with people!

  • Haha, yes, believe it or not, some CEO type people are -still- human! Some ... I think I've met one in my lifetime -- I'm only 20, mind you.

    I like that question better than the "weakness" one too.

  • Yep, showing your human side is a sign of strength in my book.

  • no mask???

    mr safety rub off

    on ya mate

  • This was planned for a few months.

  • the one I loved was when a 300lb nerd asked me if I was married, when I said no he asked if I was going to get married... then proceeded to tell me how women get in the way of IT support personnel being responsible to on-call requirements.

    Fuck you Banque Nationale de Paris!

  • He'd be fired for doing that here, that line of questioning is illegal.

  • i once had a job interview where the guy was most focused on that i had placed the adress on the application on the wrong spot or something... kinda glad i didnt get that job. Ive also been on lots of inteviews where the person says "ok and now to the standard question" and they ask the question about ur weaknesses.. Its like they just ask it cause thats what everyone else do..but WHYYYYY...aaaargh i HATE that question.

  • It shows a real lack of imagination if they use that question.

  • fark put the mask back on thats horrible!!!

  • I'm all about the horror here.

  • that's a pretty gratuitously mean comment!

  • Well there this time i went into a room with a big red button that said "do not push" but I pushed it and the whole companys computer network crashed, losing the company massive amounts of money... so do I get the job?

  • It was their fault for having the big red button in the first place!

  • So much better without the mask :P

    You can express your expression so much better

  • Yeah, it certainly does give me a wider range of expressions.

  • haha, yea I hate when people ask you questions that you can't truthfully answer

  • For these guys I told the truth - they could handle it.

  • where is the mask!?!! lol and funny interviews again

  • I'm probably using the mask today actually.

  • Rofl, What did you say? XD

  • told a real story that wasn't too bad

  • lol i like

  • me too

  • haha they sound like cool dudes. lol

    Love you without the mask too, u look awesome! :)

  • Thanks you'll be seeing more of me maskless and occasionally masked.

  • Hooray!

    well either way, you're videos will still rock. keep it up. :)

    Tara

  • Thanks!

  • no prob...

  • Haha! That's great! You'll definitely going to be hired for that job.

  • It felt pretty good.

  • mikma was here

  • That particular question sounds like something I would ask. I mean, its short and straight to the point.

  • It was a great question.

  • lol!

    That reminds me about some psycological tests I did...

  • I HATE psychological tests for job interviews!

  • Here's one my sister had to answer:"do you see the devil in the room?" My sister looked at him and said nnnnnooo,but she was think,why yes I do I'm looking right at him!"

  • Answer: "When your elderly relatives came over last night"

    Actually I had shot a stupid job interview video myself, so job interviews are just stupid everywhere.

    I'll stop being lazy, finish the video and respond you with that.

  • That sounds good!

  • Awesome!

  • How did you respauned?

  • I had a story but I also had a solution.

  • Is something you can make a video of?

  • I guess I could actually.

  • I HATE job interviews. That is in no way a determinate of a persons ability, unless you are looking for a good BS'er. Interviews are so phoney, and people just lie and "sell" themselves. Complete waste of time.

  • It can really only work to give you an idea of if you could work with the person, not how good they really are at a job.

  • hehe, I at my education i actually have to learn how to have a job intervieuw.. ( in e few years it ll be me who will be asking the stupud questions :P)

  • It's a real skill - lots of people are no good at it.

  • I want the mask back lol

    good video neways x

  • The mask will reappear.

  • ormygodz no mask ;o

  • I explained that last vid :)

  • Sooo... did you tell him your 'f#6 up?

  • Yeah, but I had a fix for it too.

  • so. when Was the last time you Fucked something up? hahahaha.

    I think it is cool that someone was that honest.

  • Yeah, it made me think he didn't want to screw me around.

  • must be nice in an employer but a bit of a rarity though, and I am amazed by how every time I have commented you have given a reply.

  • I do most of the time - it depends on the volume of comments and what I'm doing. I'm probably back at full time work next week so I might slow down.

  • even with that in the case, I am used to leaving comments and then nothing. Tis a breath of fresh air and actually makes me want to continue commenting.

  • i like you without the mask

  • Thanks :)

  • i dont know what i would hve said lol.

  • I know how to admit to a fuck-up while still sounding good - always have a solution to the problem.

  • Lol!

  • That is a cool question! How do you answer it because to say you have never fucked up would be to tell a lie? I will have to try to remember to plan for that one, when I next go through the interview process.

  • It's good to have an example, but always have a good story about how you recovered.

  • ROFL

  • I like straight talk too, there is no pretensions.

  • It makes you feel like you can trust them.

  • now that is a proper interview question.

    Actually a mate of mine once asked an interviewee "do you you think you could take me in a hammer fight" which I thought was top notch, and this guy, cool as a cucumber shot back "depends on whether I got the drop on you" - got the job :)

  • Now, that's a good way to see if someone can think quick.

  • Oh geez I've been through that. One of the questions I got alot was, why do you want to work for our company? In my head I'm saying, because I need a job you idiot lol

  • Yeah, I WANT MONEY!

  • hehehehe! That is great! How would I answer that?... I have never fucked things up at work, however I did use "decommission" a computer off the network that was brand new.... Which means you can't use that computer again... So we had to re-image the HDD, aquiring a new IP and workstation name... Not a very funny story... :( It was a huge deal at the time though because it required us to do more work and we don't want more work........

  • Oh yeah, technical fuck ups are easy to do.

  • Why can't they ask normal quesitons like, what are you hobbies and do you collect rare skin fungi? Do you dress to the left or right? What do you use to make your breath: a. so minty fresh; or b. smell like week old goat cheese left in the Sun?

    Ah simple sanity the way I remember it - or do I?

    5*

  • To the left or right would be a good question.

  • Are you going to do many more videos unmasked?

  • Woops, already asked that question on the previous video. But then i just wanna say, that you look pretty cool, without the masks.

  • Thanks, I'm gonna be experimenting as I go along.

  • hahaha. gotta lvoe job interviews.

  • Love 'em to death.

  • wow... thats a tough question :P

  • For me it was tough to pick from among my many fuck-ups ;)

  • LOL! I'm getting flashbacks and a case of the nervous shakes just thinking about these types of questions.

    Good luck - and don't completely fuck it up!

    8-)

  • That's my main aim now - don't fuck everything up.

  • How aussie and down to earth is the Ceo thats crazy! I love it

  • He's totally Oz!

  • Good to hear!

  • i hate the question "So what can you bring to the company to make it better?" um i am awesome duh!

  • Another legendary question.

  • i hate those stupid ass questions at job interviews.. even shit jobs that pay 5 dollars an hour in the states ask you crap like that... i shouldnt have to answer stupid questions for a 5 dollar an hour job

  • I'm with you - when I was working at McD's they just needed to know I'd put up with the conditions and shitty pay.

  • from what i heard, mc donalds pays like 15 dollars an hour here.. but i could have been misinformed...

    i dont remember much of my job interview for mc donalds.. i was pretty under the influence at the moment lol, but it must not have been too bad seeing as to how i pretty much got hired on the spot.

  • it was closer to 15c when I worked there.

  • ouch...

    you arent that old are you? lol :p
