tzijlstra   11 #13 Posted September 26, 2014 It would have to have been non-existent if I was interviewing, and someone came across as arrogant as that.  Difference between the Dutch and the English, we say it as it is I wouldn't use that line in an interview here.

Mr Bloom   10 #14 Posted September 26, 2014 Fair dos, tzijlstra. I know a guy who was interviewed by an all female panel and the first thing he said when he sat down was, 'Listen ladies. I guess you're wondering why I've called this meeting today....' - and he still got the job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

willman   10 #16 Posted September 26, 2014 I genuinely have used at interviews and corporate meetings in some format or other along the lines of: "We could talk about football interests, but i come from Sheffield so it's history not sport" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

savage86   10 #18 Posted September 26, 2014 I'm 28 from Sheffield, I have well over 12 pairs of socks , I'm fit and healthy. I once got off the bus 1 stop too early and had to walk 3 minutes to the next stop (I know, what a plonker). I have a modest appreciation for the exclamation mark!!! I have a recurring dream of being chased by a pack of wild boars but for some reason they don't want to kill me they want my autograph and are carrying pens and little pads of paper, every night I wake up in a cold sweat. My aspirations for the future, I'm planning on trying jam on toast for the first time soon just trying to build up the courage, I know its nothing major but when you've never done something before you're bound to be nervous. I would also one day like to manufacture and sell my own brand of balaclavas as I feel they've unfairly had a bit of bad press lately and I'd like to restore public faith in a once loved head garment. I know, I know, if I had a £ for every time someone told me that was a silly idea I'd now have £4. So that's me in a nutshell... Did I get the job?
