Interview tips anyone? I have a bunch of interviews coming up.

I was in one today that I was ambivalent about and apparently it's a faux pas now to ask about conditions? I asked because my school has some criteria for recognizing your internship, including that it actually has to be paid (funny how they have to specify that), and I got received with "we do not talk about salary in interviews". I eventually got the answer I wanted, which was an OK amount, but from the looks of it it did not impress my interviewer.

At first I thought that it was a company policy or maybe even how that particular HR person did things but Googling it later on, it seems that it became somewhat verboten. I did a bunch of mocks and always asked the question and I never was told that it was inappropriate. Seemed like a normal question to ask when compensation is not specified on the ad (it almost never is) and as much as I like what I do, money matters up to a point and I'm not gonna work for a pittance. If all things are equal it's definitely going to be a deciding factor.

I dunno, never was very good with interviews, and there seems to be some fads when it comes to job hunting. They know the rules and so do I, and a full commitment's what I'm thinking of, but I rarely can play the game without some penalties. The interviews I have later this week are for places I'd really love to work at, so it's important that I don't screw it up. Got any tips, I'm all ears.

Tell them that they wouldn't get this from any other guy?

Isn't that the point of an interview?

But how many people actually come out and say it directly?

Sounds awesome!

Well, I got one of the internships I wanted. I just told them how I was feeling, and I guess I made them understand.

I'm sure you'll be fine. I doubt you'll need it but good luck. I hope it works out.

Ah gawd, I've put myself in a situation where the right/wrong words from someone makes the emo side of me I've successfully suppressed for six years want to come out. I really thought I was over this sort of thing. v_v

If you love it, you leave it
'Cause you hate that you need it
It's one thing you can't have
You're too self-absorbed to change
Always, "my way, my way, my way..."

^^Ich auch!!

Den Alles, was entsteht,
Ist wert, daß es zu Grunde geht
So ist dann alles, was ihr Sünde,
Zerstörung, kurz das Böse nennt,
Mein eigentliches Element.

Because of Kim Kardashian, President Donald Trump has commuted the life sentence of someone serving life. I have now officially entered the darkest timeline.

Man, Saudi Arabia got creamed by Russia.

I keep imagining Wintermoot making that face whenever I read his posts now.
