Job Interview!

<div class="IPBDescription">Getting off my rear and lookin for a job</div> So my name is usually associated with the words "bum," "lazy," "cheap," and "slacker." However, this could all change soon. I got an e-mail informing me that I have an interview with a middle school band director for a private instruction job.

So, I assume one is supposed to get dressed nicely for these things. And I guess I have to actually shave. Can anyone give me any pointers? I haven't had a job interview in a long time, and I need to get this job.

    Against the grain gets a smoother shave.

    Don't wear a suit. But don't wear jeans and a t-shirt.

    Wear a long-sleeved, blue button-down shirt. Wear black slacks. Wear anything but boots or sneakers. Shave. Comb your hair. Use a GOOD cologne or something, but only a little touch to your neck.

    The day before the interview and until after the interview, increase your water intake. (Drink as much as you can, try for a litre every two hours or something.) Eat no grains, drink no milk, soda, coffee or tea. Eat no dairy at all. Eat a lot of fruit a few hours before you go to the interview. (The goal is to look extremely healthy and have your breath smell nice.)

    Be relaxed, listen concentratedly, offer good questions regarding what you are asked.

    walk backwards the entire time, and squak like a bird every time the interviewer stops talking.

    What job is this? Aren't you a cop?

    For somthing like a private music instructor at a school, I'd say a blue button down shirt is fitting. You don't want to dress over what the person interviewing you is wearing. Most likley this will be the sort of thing that the band teacher would be wearing.

    Middle school band director?

    Walk in with a nazi swastika, grow a giant british officer mustache [you know.. just the type to send hundreds of men into enemy machine guns with], and the first words out of your mouth as you see the interviewer should be "I have absolutely no ambition in life, but I do enjoy lording it over people who have no choice but to be put under my control."

    You'll get in easily.
