How to get a job

With the feedback of our last "How to" being positive. We have decided to continue with another. We were told the last article seemed fairly tongue in cheek although, that was not our intention. We were entirely serious about our advice. Today we will explore how to get a job.

The first step is do your best to be remembered. The interviewer will see many people for a particularly good job, do your best to overcome monotony by doing something memorable; for example, show up in your undergarments. How could anyone forget that a person showed up to the interview pantless? Or alternatively, come in dressed as a clown or your particularly favorite character from Star Wars. He or she won't be forgetting that any time soon.

Step two is that you must be extremely rude, everyone else will be on their best behaviour and being rude is the best way to break that mold and show your future boss that "I'm no pushover." They'll see your burping in their face as a sign of character.

Step 3 is make sure you know your interviewer, or facts about them. You should, weeks in advanced, start following the person who will interview you, write down everything significant that they do. When you're interviewed bring up some of the things that you saw. For example, bring up that you know he or she is a Cubs fan or that you noticed he or she brushes their teeth every night before laying in bed and watching reruns of M*A*S*H*. They'll realize you are a very dedicated worker.

Step Four; you probably noticed everyone will tell you to come in early, follow this by coming in 2 days in advanced, leaving for absolutely nothing. And the final step is actually getting an interview, the best way to do this is to have a memorable application. Don't fill it out with pen or pencil, fill it out with invisible ink, cut out newspaper letters, or old paint peeling off the side of your garage. Thank you for reading this article, we hope it helped you in these harsh times.
