A Conversation for Work and The Interview

Mad Gran Started conversation Aug 17, 2001
This all sounds terribly familiar! I had an interview today, it's been a while since the last one so I made sure I was prepared. Having no sleep the night before was not a good move, but at least I did not oversleep. After giving a stunning performance I found there was something I had forgotten - that deathly silence after "do you have any questions?" Not to be outwitted at the final hurdle, I replied that they had covered everything extremely well, but perhaps they'd like to find out a bit more about me.... I produced a snapshot album of my favourite hobby (my allotment garden) and took them on a virtual tour of the vegetable patch, while still trying to think up an original question to ask them! I do hope I get the job, but if not I will leave the photos at home next time!

I did get the job! photos are ok! well I am so impressed at my originality, I will try to be even more original next time! - oh yes, there will definitely be a next time. I...sort of omitted to mention at the interview that I can not stay in one place for more than 6 months - a sort of gypsy habit that I can't break. In fact the better the job, the more likely I will leave. I don't know why. Anyway I can always get another job....
my job!

Well, its day 2, and I am pleased to announce that I am about to apply for a different job..
Not because I have any problem with this one, but its a habit I can't get out of. Also I would prefer a part time job. I always seem to be working when I'd rather not. Am I lazy or do I have more to do in life than working? Am I alone in this attitude towards employment?
Anyone else have the same problem?
my job!

Yes I do. I have the opposite problem, I get the interviews but not the job.
