Interview

[sufcintheprem]

Had an interview in the smoke today and just as it was ending the bloke tells me he's from Col******r and proceeds to mention how well they've been doing lately.

Presumably they'll call me not the other way round then....

Then again, I can't imagine an unintentional blurting out of 'scum' as he said which team he follows will have boosted my cause either even if he did have a sheepish grin as I said it.

Where's that foot in mouth smiley....

I think he will like you as you have a bit of charecter.

Personally I think once you get talking fooball in an interview you are basically home and dry.

Actually, from experience you might be on to something. Still, messed up two pretty large questions in the interview and reckon even football chat might not even have done the job.

Best get applying...

See mine was the opposite, the examiner got me so engrossed in talking about it that when he sprung a manouver on me I wasn't prepared and ended up getting it wrong!

On the job front though, as soon as the interviewer feels  they like you enough to talk about football, you're in!

Most of the interviews I have had over the years do seem to degenerate into talking about football - maybe putting on the CV that I am a season ticket holder kinda prompts it though...

This is, incidentally a perfect example of the other thread about political corectness of jokes. I find it funny cos it's witty. I imagine a lot of farmers would get offended because it's their livelihood.

Wow, what a dull remark. Sorry.

Or better still learn the masonic handshake.

No masonic handshake necessary though. The adage of "once you get talking fooball in an interview you are basically home and dry" is partly proved right as I've got the last bit of the interview stage to be booked in at some point.

From what I've been told the last part was mainly through HR whereas the next bit is making sure you can fit in with the team so I'm hopeful if not quite confident yet.
