Job interview

[beloitpiper]

So Monday night I went to the tasting with their current buyer, Ben. It went VERY well. It was basically an informal "let's-size-him-up" preinterview with the company. They deal in only single-cask Scotch that they import themselves. After the tasting, Ben and I went out for a few more drams which concluded with a round at my apartment, cranking Battlefield Band from my stereo, and talking about how Celtic FC can't possibly be as bad this year as they were last year. Interview is tomorrow morning and I'm feeling very confident. Clothing choice for tomorrow is a pinstripe suit (thank you, MacMillan!) and my Gordon tie.

Updates as they come.

Well that's the first hurdle successfully negotiated, well done. I am sure you don't need some boring old duffer from Scotland to hand out even more advice, but you are going to get some any way! Put your brain into gear before opening your mouth and don't mumble! If you don't quite understand the question, then ask them to repeat it and if you genuinely don't know the answer---------then say so. Good luck laddie.

Good advice! I have a job interview with the American Civil Liberties Union on Monday, myself. In the phone interview, the fact that I'm in the Renaissance Scots came out, and the HR lady asked if I had a kilt. I of course told her that I wear them almost all the time, and she asked if I was wearing one to my interview. I said no, and she told me that I really should! So I'm going to. Let you all know how it goes come Monday.

Wow, I'm jealous. It's not every day that a potential employer specifically requests that you wear a kilt. I want a job like that!

Turned out to be a canvasser job with pay dependant on how many voters signatures I manage to get. Not so great. Frustration... Oh well.

It's probably a good thing, Nighthawk. Hope things go better in the hunt.

And congratulations to beloitpiper.
