interviews

I hate when you think you did well and then don't get the job... and because its for serving and bartending so don't exactly need to be a rocket scientist, I usually get it. But anyway its the worst when you think you have it 100 percent and then don't hear the word!
dammnn!
don't put all your eggs in one basket i guess

Anytime you apply for a job, several people who are better qualified have already applied. It's just a case of making it seem like you are better qualified, then those who are actually better qualified.

someone has to be the most qualified, why can't it be you?

been there! have aced multiple interviews with a place even and still not heard back. it's kinda discouraging... but really think it works out how it should in the end. I usually hear bad things about the place afterwards.

wishing you better luck elsewhere, Court!

and don't automatically assume the person doin the interviewing is competent and qualified to interview and hire in the first place because most are not.

market yourself, don't rely on the business to make the "best decision".

hey atleast they didn't ask you how many pennies it would take to connect the floor to the ceiling or how many degrees a clock has turned at 3:45pm....fuck...

c'est la vie, just keep your head down and you'll be alright.

haha i love those kinds of questions.

usually they don't care about the answer -- they're just trying to get some insight into your thought process and resourcefulness.

i've been asked how many gas stations there are in the US and why manhole covers are round.
