Well, confidence is the ticket. Good luck on that interview!

you may want to get checked out dude; so sorry you're living through that hell.

you could cut this irony with a loving knife holy stuff

i'm just saying, if you tell them you're a model worker and you and get stuff done, they'll expect wayyyy more out of you than other employees. you could do it your best and they'd say it's bad.
This isn't the case because everyone talks themselves up in interviews. That's the whole point. You'll be on the same footing as everyone else.

Don't tell them you have superhuman powers. Tell them you're hard-working and diligent. Say you'll show up on time and help wherever possible. The kind of stuff you'd want to hear if you were hiring people for a job.

When I went on my first interview, I made sure to dress nice yet appropriate for the job, and play myself up to make me look good for hire

If I was honest, I'd just randomly come up going "hire me i want money"

but yeah i have confidence in my plans for my interview so that will be the true test.

Until you decide to not go to the interview and do nothing instead...

im sure they are aware you are an unskilled, no experience person. they wouldnt have called you if they wernt cool with it.
just assure them you show up to stuff on time, and dont take tons of random days off.
pleasing a boss in an entry level job isnt that hard. thats about all they want.

literally this.

like watch a movie for no reason

lying will forget you always in the future. every single white lie i've told ended up screwing me later; of course i'm going to shoot down people who ask me TO LIE.

Is this some loving moral high ground bullstuff? Do you literally think you're better than everybody else because you refuse to go into an interview and not tell the poor guy something loving stupid like "I just want your money" or "I'm an autistic lazy friend who can't get along with anybody" just because it's '''the truth'''?

The truth is that nobody believes that you're sabotaging your own interviews because you un-ironically think that saying "I'm a functioning human being" in an interview is going to "screw you later". You're doing it because you're a lazy cunt who does not want a job, and you constantly post these sob-story threads because you want someone to justify your terrible behavior for you. No, hillkill, you aren't unemployed because you are ugly/autistic/a victim of something that's out of your control. You are unemployed because you have a stuffty victim mentality and these threads prove it.

I mean, ffs, is it really lying to walk into an interview and tell the guy you want the job because you want to give back to your community, better yourself as a human being, and hone your skills as an adult? Is it really that hard to convince yourself that that's the truth? The big misconception here is that you actually have to lie in the interview. You don't have to tell the guy you have a forklift driving certificate when you don't, you just have to answer vague open questions about yourself. These questions have no 'truthful' or 'dishonest' answers, they just have answers that your employer wants to hear, and answers that make people think your parents forced you to do the interview.

i mean if hill was really a nihilist he probably wouldn't care about being poor as stuff in the future

i mean if hill was really a nihilist he probably wouldn't care about being poor as stuff in the future

He's not even close to being nihilistic. The ideal nihilist wouldn't let morality hold them back from getting the things they want. He's just being pessimistic.

yeah, nihilism is just the idea that life has no inherent meaning, i.e. there's no ultimate goal. you can be a nihilist and still have a reason to get up in the morning

i think he just goes off the the handicapped 13 year olds definition of 'lol idk about anything ! xDDDD'

so yeah here's an update:

i did the interview yesterday. i was told that the position i applied for was already taken so i did an interview for another position. the interview went ok in my opinion, but there were moments where i got so nervous i couldn't think properly.

i'll know what happens by tomorrow possibly.
