5 Job Interview Tips

1. Do Your Research
  • Is this the best blog post regarding tips on how to ace your interview? 
  • Does the company encourage the use of potatoes for electricity? 
  • How often do wild pygmies feel the need to divorce their partners in exchange for shoes? 
  • If rainbows exist, where are the mistarrows?
  • What are the similarities between marauding pyjamas and hypnotic leaves of cotton candy?
These are topics you can research to understand better the strange world of the interwebs, and a little about the company as well. Once you are done with this, time permitting, you can head out for the interview as well.

2. Practice Your Answers
One thing interviewers look for are consistent answers. So make sure you know your answers like the back of your hand, regardless of the questions. The questions are just methods to hear your answers, and if you are ready with your answers already, the questions or their order are irrelevant.

3. Look The Part

If you've been unemployed for a few months, make sure you have a stubble, torn clothes, and you don't shower for a week in advance. Looking the part might drive the interviewers to hire you, after all, emotions are the strongest feelings that are evaluated in an interview.







If you are interviewing with another company while you are already employed, then make sure to look disinterested and morose (like you've been forced to attend this interview). Nothing screams quality like a disinterested potential employee.



4. Stay Calm
So nothing has worked in your favor so far. Pygmies don't wear shoes, and potatoes are more fried than electrified. All is not lost yet.


Stay calm and remember the adage,
Calmness exudes from within, so smile the smile that can be seen from a mile.

All questions from that point forward can be answered with a smile, and make eye to eye contact.



5. Ask Questions
The last part of the interview. This is the get-to-know-your-interviewer stage. This is when you get to ask your interviewer(s) about their personal life.
  • What is their exact address?
  • Do they live alone, and if not, who else lives with them?
  • Is security in their neighborhood lax? 
  • How about their doors and windows? How easy is it to enter the house through them?
  • What is their take on stalkers and people who watch them while they sleep?
Showing interest in them as a person brings out your inter-personal skills, and will impress them...eventually. You need to execute on the information you receive during this round of the interview.

That's it! You should be all set! And congratulations in advance on your new job as a 'Generalist Stalker with Random & Strange Knowledge'.
