Job interview Thursday

[sArA]

Got an interview for a 'proper' job on thursday...:)

Got to be there for 10.30 and my interview is at 5pm (I am assuming I will get fed and watered, and probably a bit of a guided tour sorta thing)

I have to give a 10 minute presentation on:

'my research, summarising methods used, and showing its relevance to the Policy Oriented Social Sciences agenda.' :stars:

feck!:huh:

:hic:

[Agrajag]

Given the timetable as outlined, one suspects there may be more to it than a 10 minute presentation and an interview.

12 month contract, good money but about 3 hrs + a day travelling :( ....which might be negotiable :cool:


I been a proper stonehead doley for 2 months.....:lol:

[100%]

What would this proper job entail, duties wise.

Public policy research...case studies, analysis using largely qualitative tools, literature review, write papers,reports etc. Contribute generally...which means a bit of dissertation supervision, the odd seminar and maybe a bit of teaching....which would be nice.

It is a public policy/social sciences project, something to do with examining the influence on society of central government's policy towards social control....amongst other things...


I have lost the fucking notes I wrote when I phoned them up for more info.....bollocks.... :hic: They were good notes as well, about 4 pages...bollocks, bollocks, bollocks....

To be fair your explanation was all but unintelligible to pretty much everyone else here.

[sArA]

But not to all, particularly the Scottish. ;)



erm...emo? :unsure:

[manker]

Not sure if it's relevant to this thread, but 'Emo' is often used as a kinder way of saying 'attention whore'.

Indeed, I'm quite sure that Big Les understood it.

Unfortunately, sans Liam, he ploughs a lone furrow in that respect.

With no disrespect to {insert Scottish member here}. ooer, missus.

[spenz]

Whatever you do, don't forget to b reak out some humor adlibs from time to time. It helps relieve a little pressure from you and may buy you some time to think more meaningful ideas during the presentation.

I usually do exactly that in these situations....although they tend to be based more on nerves than wit. :lol:

Indeed, mustn't forget to do the ad-libs.

I can post a few for you if you'd like.

[j2k4]

Farting will do the same thing. :)

[spenz]

whaa farting will make your job interview shit. don't do that. LOL

[thewizeard]

Even though I am sure you will do well and get the job..I will still cross my fingers for you

Wish you success sArA :)

[Mr. Mulder]

Gud Luk :01:

[sArA]

Thanks peeps :)

Spent the whole day writing the presentation, its too long I just know it....but I bet I will talk so quick it will be over in 2 mins!

fingers crossed....:)

[MrGuru2u]

Good Luck!! Relax and breath, relax and breath. You'll do fine, remember they need you.

[j2k4]

Good Luck!! Relax and breath, relax and breath.

I think you mean breathe.

Yes, sArA, do that, but remember:

DON'T SWALLOW THE AIR!

You'll either start burping or farting IMMEDIATELY!

And don't HYPERVENTILATE!

Passing out is not good, either...

Oh, what to do? :O

[DanB]

Good luck :D

[spenz]

Good LUCK!!!

[j2k4]

Well?

How 'bout it, Doc? :huh:

[sArA]

I think I buggered up some questions....they asked me some stuff about normative theoretical stuff that completely threw me! :lol:.

I won't know until Tuesday evening as they have 2 others to interview on Tuesday. What a bugger....:dry:

I've just got to sit and wait although I don't think I did too well to be honest. I am a bit out of practice after being a doley for 2 months :blink: :

[Mr. Mulder]

A good way to tell if its normative theoretical is to hold it upside down, if it sticks to the bowl, its normative theoretical :ermm:

I wish I had said that.....:lol: :lol:

[sArA]

Well, no call....looks like I didn't get the job.. :(

On the bright side...it was 1 1/2 hour journey each way which would have been a pain..... and its still nice weather....so I painted my front door frame and cleaned my windows...meh.

Bad luck, old stick. You seem like a very capable and well qualified woman so I'm sure there's plenty more where that jawb interview came from - something more suitable too, no doubt.

[sArA]

Hope so manky.....it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that we still haven't sold BF's house after that git pulled out 4 days before completion....hence one wage and 2 mortgages at the moment. :(

No holiday this year then..meh...back to the sunshine.

[JPaul]

You English and your mid evil house buying ways.

[sArA]

Yeah, I heard that in sunny Scootlund people aren't allowed to do that without paying some kind of fine or somat. I wish it was so here too, it really should not be allowed to keep people hanging on for 4 months and then to withdraw a few days before....it really is not Cricket at all!

[JPaul]

Once the deal is done, the deal is done.

There ain't no going back, no gazzumpin or any pish like that.

Series of events.

1. I'm selling my house for over £100,000

2. I'll gie ye £120,000 fur it.

3. OK well.

Sorry if that go a bit technical near the end. It's difficult to simplify.

[sArA]

Here it is slightly different.

1. Selling my house for over £100,000

2. I'll give ya £120,000 for it mate...I already have a mortage set up (honest)

3. Yeah, great.

4. tick...tock....tick...tock

8. You sure?

9. Yeah....honest

10. tick...tock...tick....tock

11. Nearly done now....few more days and all will be well

12. Great....(been waiting for bloody ages, about time)

13. Actually, I lied...can't get the money, thought I would just string you along to see if I could raise the cash, then thought I would avoid answering the phone to string it out a few more days.

14. Thanks for nothing Cunt you just fucked up my entire year.


As you can see, a smidgen more complex here in Ingerland.

[Mr. Mulder]

2. I'll give you £280,000 for it.
3. Fuck off.

Oh, you didn't say it was a shack. That's cash only transactions.

It's probably a really nice shack.

[sArA]

Its ok...a first time buyer type shack and the smaller of the 2 shacks we currently own, hence its for saleage.

[JPaul]

Yeah, you said.

Sweet you felt the need to reiterate tho'.

Insult a lass' shack and you'll never hear the end of it.

Shack's a good word btw. I'm really enjoying it.

[manker]

JP Going for the hat-trick.

I feel sARa will be a tougher nut to crack than the spinster from Sevenoaks or the Queen's ranger.

I really should stop posting obscure things that only JP will 'get' :dabs:


Not saying, like, you have to be of a high intellect or 'owt - but more than a cursory glance at about fortyleven different conversations spread over two different subforums is a basic requirement.

Do even you know what that means?

[manker]

:lol:

I must have a feckin' crystal ball or something.



To answer your question, yes - and I shan't be explaining 'cos I know you do too :kiss:

I think the ranger thing refers to hunnery, however Sevenoaks is a :whoosh:

[manker]

I see we've dropped the sincerity theme. However, I'm going with a taking words at face value theme for a while.

So, based on your above posts; I > you.

[JPaul]

You've gone from sincerity to non sequiturs.

Fan-tastic

[manker]

No contradiction, ergo I win :01:

You've gone and spoiled it now.

I was halfway to thinking you didn't get the 'hat-trick' post.
















Back to disingenuity for the night.

Ah, now I understand.

That was really rather clever.

Did I mention before that if it's too clever it really doesn't work.

Had you said the Kentish spinster it would have worked. But "Sevenoaks" ffs. I come from Croy, you know that.

[sArA]

As usual...I don't get it :unsure::stars:

But then you knew that anyway :P

fecking hijacking cnuts :lol:

[manker]

I tried to stay on topic, it was that h4r5h bar-steward JP who insisted upon taking this thread awry.

[JPaul]

As usual...I don't get it :unsure::stars:

But then you knew that anyway :P

fecking hijacking cnuts :lol:
manker's trying to deflect the fact that his harshness has forced people away, by making the ridiculous suggestion that it was me. Doing it in a particularly obscure way.

How mental is that well.

[manker]

I'm far too polite to discuss the matter in an overt fashion :snooty:

Far better just the cognoscenti know the awful truth.

[sArA]

cunning cnut that manker :shifty:

cunning cnut that JPaul :shifty:


Where's lilmiss when you need her? :unsure:

Actually, I take full and personal responsibility for hijacking my own thread :snooty:


however, there has been a slight upping of harshness.

Don't be like that, how the fuck would we know.

The two antagonists (JP and manky of course) were being so flaming obscure I thought only you could have any hope of working out their jibberish, or at least I thought you might slap em about a bit for me. :)

[Skweeky]

manker made up a new word!

condescenti cannot possibly be a real word :snooty:
