They're going to ask you why you want the job. Get a good answer prepared ahead of time. Actually, just go through the common job interviews and prepare them

they are going to ask you bullshit questions

give them bullshit but POSITIVE answers

dont point out that their HR position could be done by an automated robot and will be in the future

if they ask you" whats your greatest weakness"

if male- hookers and blow, hey you got any on ya?
if female- meaningless platitudes

I have generic interview questions typed up and currently working on answers. Stuff like where do you see yourself in 5 years, time i faced adversity, etc. I want to make it sound good but not like im reading it off paper.

>>17425750
I just find this hard because usually u can gauge your interviewer or ask follow up questions easier. I find talking in person easier.

Like how would I end it? in person its like you get up shake hands and what not. This one im just gonna be like "well thank you for your time, i look forward to hearing from you soon." and hang up i guess.

This profile screams "I'm a massive D-Bag". Make your main pic a smile and get rid of bathroom pics, jesus christ

If I saw that profile I'd think
>he's probably ugly
>he thinks a lot of himself
>why does he have no chest hair?
>I bet it'd be easy to get a free meal off him

It'll get you laid for sure, but maybe use your face in the first picture and then your abs in the second.

What did you get on the SAT or ACT?

When I took it, there was a strange emphasis on (essentially) asking if some function was true on the entire number line, and hoping I'd forget that you can't divide by zero.

Also, there was a lot of "what error does this argument make?" questions, with answer choices like "modus ponens" or "argument from authority".

Your brain will adjust.

I'm an American and spent 60 days in Seoul not knowing a word of Korean. Withoit any effort kn my part, my subconscious had begun to hear the spaces between the words. I could tell when my coworkers were talking about lunch. I got a girlfriend.

You can speak English, so the culture shock will be even less. Keep on keeping on, you can do it.

Kiwi here. Honestly, NZ is probably at completely the opposite end of the spectrum to most 'traditional' cultures. We just don't really give a fuck about anything, and as a culture, we're pretty liberal. If you feel like you can handle that, then you might be okay. I can answer some other questions for you so you can get a better picture of what it's like here if you want.

I know plenty of Asians who end up miserable after immigraring to the west due to cultural shock though

Welcome to the grind. Save money, invest wisely, etc and you can get away with maybe working part time instead in a couple of decades.

Or you could save up for your own business or something.

OR you could just try to do really well here for a couple of years, then focus on finding a job you really really like, so at least the grind is far more tolerable.

>I just wish there was an in between.

It's called being part time.

>but I won't make enough money then!

Tough shit. If you want money then you work a full time job like everyone else does, or you start your own business that works for itself, but to get to that point you'll be working way more than 40 hours a week which means you'll probably cry and quit well before it can give you good enough bank.

And just so you know, there's 168 hours in a week. 40 is spent making money and 56 is spent sleeping. There's no excuse as to why the other 72 hours isn't enough time to do your pointless video watching.

>t. corporate cuck slave

Thinking of ways to live a life where you can reduce the amount of pointless work you do for some fucking mega-corp with a shitheel CEO that makes 90x what you do for doing 1/90th of the work is a good thing

Y2K, 2012, etc etc.

Doomsday theories are all utter shit and you should feel bad for even considering them as possibilities.

Unless someone can provide some goddamn proof, just laugh in their faces and get on with life.

The entire world will discover that OP's a faggot

I'll find out she loves me back.

I'd go to school part time.

>>17425457
I technically haven't been to a real school since 7th grade. I hated school and went the homeschool/charter school route after that, so my degree means nothing to anything but a community college.

I also work full time and haven't been in a real classroom since 7th grade, like I said. Plus, I'd only study for a AA since I don't know what particular field of work I'd enjoy being in. I only know what I'm currently good at.

>>17425454
Did you go to school? Do you have a diploma or a degree? $15k saved up is a lot. I'd focus on thinking about what I want to do for a living (you have to pick something eventually) and go to school for that, then get a better paying, non-deadend job.

Also saying you are
>wildly unhappy and lonely

And then saying
>love my isolationist lifestyle

That doesn't really add up man. You either want to be alone or not, no?

>>17425452
Nice b8

>What else do I need to know?
Also this is very difficult for me I can't rate myself at anything. Like if we have standards or a ranking system that's great for me helps a lot. Problem is I have no idea what my physical appearance is, so i dont know who to hit on. People told me before go after what you like, ok thanks. Let me go find Emma Watson. The fuck?

I've never been on a date before. I noticed the few classes i had with girls that some were interested in me. I just dont talk to them because of above.

>Thank you
so much for those who take the time to answer. Im way too embarrassed to ask friends or family. I truly appreciate it, I dont know jack shit about this. Sorry for my lack of grammar/spelling.

>>17425420
Your reasons to not date now aren't real excuses. Most college students are poor, and it's common to live with parents.

You have a car right? (I assume that's how you get to school). I don't see what's holding you back.

>>17425604
Yeah I got a car. I'm not going to bring a girl back to my parents house lol that's awkward. I tried to explain what's holding me back but i guess I wasn't clear. I have no idea how to explain it better.

1. Get off your phone
2. Try sleeping
(3.) If that doesn't work, warm milk or sleeping pills

>>17425339
sleeping pills if you got em
if you dont have anything you can take (melatonin, magnesium, different shit i dunno) then try reading a little bit, meditate maybe, turn off all your electronics and when you're sleepy head to bed
not much else you can do

Get off the internet, turn off the lights, get in bed, close your eyes. That's the best I've got. Also a little bit of alcohol can help.

>>17425315
yeah, you're a dumbass. she's allowed to sleep with whomever she wants. you're probably jealous because none of YOUR female friends want to sleep with you. by slut-shaming her, you're the one being disrespectful.

:^) grats m8 u just screwed ur chance of being with her by being a virginal white knight

Its the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts.

She already knows this about herself. Hearing it from someone else would have just validated that.

Just act like iit never happened. You may ha ve actually helped her.

Autists gonna autist.

It could be either one really.

Usually people walk away from a massage feeling very relaxed. Massages often can stimulate sexual feelings.
So I'd say it is

>>17425291
sounds like a nice way of saying "i didnt cum" to me

If you want to try to help him, get him to see a psychiatrist. But this will only work if he wants to get help.

Otherwise, you are not responsible for him, but you are responsible for your daughter. If you can't/don't want to help him, it would be best to leave.

>>17425307
He wont see a psychiatrist.
Part of the whole immature mentality in my opinion he thinks the fact that they charge for their services is proof they are scumbags and he doesn't trust them.

He can be a really great dad and people often compliment him and tell me how great he is but they don't see the behind the scenes massive meltdowns that happen all too frequently and always in the exact same way.

It breaks my heart every time it happens and my sweet little girl has to bear witness to the most chaotic, disturbed behavior.


Is the life of a single mom something better for her? I am sure she would have a new father figure in her life at some point, but its hard to know whats more stressful for a baby so young.

>>17425321
If he won't get help then things are not going to change. I think that a life of absolute love from one parent will do better than a toxic environment and you having to leave her to handle his meltdowns all the time.

Only you can judge how bad it actually is.
