F***k job hunting Got rejected after a telephone interview yesterday, next time I'm gonna drink before one of them to chill me out.
In fact, it's nearly 2pm now and I've cracked open a tinnie. Welcome to the unemployed post uni life
Lol, that's an interesting idea. I've never thought about doing that, yet again I've never had a phone interview. All of my interviews have either been video interviews or in person.

Now I'm one of the people who conduct interviews, so the shoe is on the other foot. I guess being confident is seen as desirable by most employers but at the same time, being nervous is expected - at least a little bit. It's a sign that you want the job.
That **** is so annoying. Especially when you think you did really well in an interview and you're hopeful and then just never hear back from them. Very disheartening.
Honestly on the phone, nervousness tends to come across as maybe being a little aloof since you can't read someone's facial expressions or body language. Maybe having like two or three beers before a phone interview isn't a bad idea lol

I've had both phone and video interviews. Hate phone interviews. I mean, no one will hire you just from a phone interview so it's superfluous anyway.
I'd rather conduct an interview face to face. It's easier.
Back to Upstate NY...and this sucks ass! Going from the idyllic, sun blessed climates of Montevideo or Arequipa to the cold gray ****holes like Bunghamton or Trashchester. **** this ****

Russia makes up for it in other ways like culture, architecture, history, etc. There is no history of any kind in Buffalo or Syracuse
Although you do have Dinosaur Barbeque!
