I have an interview for my first proper job tomorrow >.> [Update]

Mr. Psychologist · April 19, 2015, 06:56:15 AM

Now that my crippling bone disease as slash puts it has faded¹ and I'm finally able to get out and about etc, I put in a job application form² at the local shop for a part time shelfstacking thing.
So aside from the helpful/unhelpful advice contained in this video³ which isn't really appropriate for shelfstacking at a corner shop, do any of you have tips/advice for howiscangetjobtogetmoneytogetgames etc.

Vitamin D deficiency is surprisingly bad if you let it get to that level, but hey a few tablets a day and walking the dogs sorted it out eventually

Do your best to smile.
I know, it's you, but try.

Be polite, etc, etc, a job stacking shelves probably isn't looking for a hour long spiel about how you're a psychologist in training.
Best thing to do is make yourself appear eager and willing to help, mention that you can read/write in another language.

Oh dear... smiling. Shit.

Hm... I could try putting toothpicks in the sides of my mouth to prop my face up >_>

But yes, I don't think there would be a need for much elaboration beyond the degree I'm studying and with whom <.<
That shouldn't be too hard, I hope >.>

List "mod at sep7agon.net" as a reference and ask Cheat to write you a letter of recommendation.

I somehow don't think that would work out too well >.>

Think of it as a conversation - nothing more. Unlike most conversation however, you are trying to make the best first impression possible.
Good luck and try not to be too stressed, its just a part time job in a shop - all they will be looking for is that you are friendly and able to talk to people.

I don't know many details yet, just that his crippling disease finally took him. No words can really be said about this, let's just pray that he's in a better place now. He was truly an inspiring individual.

Please, I'd rather not turn this thread into an argument about false accusations and such, let's just mourn our lost friend.

RIP in pieces.

You're in England, that makes it a paki shop by default.

Thankfully no, Waitrose or Sainsburys I could tolerate but the mongs that traipse around Tesco make me want to puke.

I don't mean to be haram, but you should do the following:

a) throw that, and
b) get your rat out

There wouldn't be much point in killing the people he's trying to work for,

Maybe if he found out who was gunning for the job alongside him it might work.

It's not like there isn't big fuck off signs above the isles or anything.
