Interview Battles

at long as you come off as reliable and low risk you'll have a good shot at beating the other guys. Security guarding doesn't sound like it has much nuance beyond showing up and being dilligent, so emphasizing that you can do that without coming off as autistic is important

Sounds good to me, and i will try to follow this to the best of my ability but i want to know if anyone else has had a situation like this in their life.

Can i get some advice on anons who have gone through this kind of thing?

Did you get hired? or was it the boot?

Got 3 hours to go here, hope to get a better idea than what i have right now, been watching first time interview videos on youtube too but still gonna come back and check this thread constantly.

this is babby's first job interview as well?

try to minimize any things that could go wrong with discomfort on your end. Eat something decent and be hydrated before you go in, but don't have to shit or piss while you interview because you want to be willing to be there as long as your interviewer wants to talk to you. I made that mistake when my eyes were watering while my seasonal allergies hit me with the force of a thousand suns, so it looked like I was so nervous I was crying out of one eye.

if the interviewer asks you canned questions the where do you see yourself in 5 years, what previous experience do you have etc then you'll know they are a fucking retard who pulled questions off of google. answer the questions as best you can if they don't give you an opportunity to say more about why you should be picked. your time to shine is when you ask them a question about something like company culture/ work environment, which is just really a setup for you to say something positive about yourself and that you appreciate working with others who are also motivated and take their job seriously

don't undersell your door to door experience either. that kind of interaction where you're basically at someone's mercy when you knock at their door is huge because it shows you have some level of socialization under your belt, and that you're capable of approaching people and interacting with them in a normal way

In the face of 5 other potential guards, what's one way I can distance myself from the average and give them a real reason to look at me longer than the other 5?

Does anyone have any idea? I don't mean to get people to think for me I just want to see if someone else comes up with something different than my strategy of licking ass.

2 Hours left for me.

From what I have learned overnight, it seems that being very confident and concise is key to these kinds of interviews, if I can focus on what I can bring to the table and get them to agree that I'm not a waste of time I stand a chance even without that significant amount of experience. It seems like glorifying my volunteer experience is also a good idea like telling them that I am used to speaking with new faces no problem and starting a conversation and ending them without conflict as well as giving examples to come with this such as saying how I had troubles with few house owners giving me the finger or asking me to leave abruptly after delivering flyers but also explaining how I dealt with that.

On the other hand this may seem a little too hasty to sound like I gave it any real thought. if there's a way I can communicate this without dragging on and keep it clear and to the point, I would very much like to hear some interpretation from one or two of you.

I want to say thank you for your time giving me some advice on this and hopefully, I can pull through but with this little time on my hands, I can't help but feel like I need to find the answers fast. I will keep looking through videos on do's and donts while I wait for more advice.

watching videos after you've determined that you need to be confident and not sputter when you talk won't teach you a whole lot more honestly. You can watch videos of people actually being interviewed maybe to get a feel for the conversational flow, but looking for tips probably won't be a very good use of your time.

you have to be real about the door to door experience. It might not feel like much to you because you already did it, but you doing it says something good about you, and also allows you to comment on the experience which could earn you points. i honestly feel like an interview is like a date sometimes because the same kinds of strategies usually work in both
