Anyone actually say during an interview that the reason they want the job was because they need money?
  • An interview is an opportunity for both of you to decide if it's a good fit. Unfortunately the seeker is usually happy to accept anything. Lying is counter productive. They only want to hear any reason that you picked their workplace. Consider it structured small talk and focus on your energy.

    I generally say: "let's be realistic, I'm not passionate about what your company does. I am here to trade my time for wages and I have heard good ones about [company name].

    Elaborate by mentioning something from their website to appear engaged and interested. Say you were a perfect fit because you meet all the requirements, talk about a friend who works there, mention using their products or services, or just mention that it's close to your house and will be a short commute. Ultimately this is a soft question that is just to get a quick idea of each person applying.

  • Downloading IASIP at the moment
  • He's also in Mythic Quest; some of the same writers as iasip, but based in an MMORPG game studio. Him and Ryan Reynolds also bought a soccer team, Welcome to Wrexham is an entertaining documentary about that.

  • How do you improve your social skills?
  • Depends on which social skills. Regardless of the end goal, you need to start with empathy and consider the other persons situation. Importantly, that they might not be looking for new friends. Be ready to face rejection and that's nothing wrong with you.

    Your first goal is to Open or start a conversation, and hopefully keep the other person engaged long enough to let the relationship develop and grow. Typically this is as simple as listening, complimenting or "peacocking" or standing out in attempt to attract the same. Speak your mind, you are trying to find your people! If you comment on appearance be polite, indirect, and be sure not to objectify the person not ~"nice ass", aim for "I love your anime shirt!". It's going to take some attempts before it feels more natural. That works out because you need to engage with a lot of people. Note: If you can't find people, you need to start a hobby.

    Next goal is to engage the person and act interested, at this stage you should celebrate opening. Few things to try to keep in mind: Eye contact, questions, active listening, repeating to assert understanding, mirroring, match vocal tone/pitch. But most importantly "Yes and". This means, accept their addition and add to it. Shutting stuff down is easy, contributing is hard. You are trying to build.

    Lastly close. Did you have fun, did you share energy? Tell them! Validate that feeling and ask for a followup contact information. From here you will need to balance give and take in the relationship and try to make it mutually beneficial.

    My favorite openers:

    • What are you passionate about today
    • When/what really pissed you off recently
    • You made me smile, are you looking for new friends
    • Relevant comment based on location/accessories
    • I'm bored, got any stories
  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Atm Xbox is my most reliable media player. PlayStation isn't quite there, but would be a nice to have. My parents aren't very tech literate and they use their smart TV/cable box. I have a friend with an older Roku/smart stick that's incompatible. Have they added an app for Apple TV yet?
