Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joe" data-source="post: 152446" data-attributes="member: 909">Sometimes I apply for jobs just for the thrill of trying to pass their mind games. If by some weird chance you navigate the application stage, remember to wear the right colored shirt, shoes, perfect hand shake. Get your thank you letter in the mail no later, or earlier, than 8 hours and 36 minutes before the interview, and god help you if you don't remember everyone's name, and there will be a guy that goes out of his way not to give you any contact info. As far as eye contact, don't stare, and even it out within the room, left guy, right guy, center guy. Be sure to give the mystery answer that isn't really an answer, after the trick question that has no answer, and smile but don't smile.If you make it to round two, you're in uncharted territory. Just make sure after the interview, you make contact with a guy you never met, to let him know that "even though I just jumped through a thousand hoops, took time out my schedule, and wasted a thousand dollars on clothes, gas, and lost wages, just to have an opportunity to feel like fool, and never once let on I was in anyway disinterested, I guess I'm still interested?" The timing and frequency of these emails, and phone calls, are absolutely crucial and a heavily guarded trade secret.If you make it to orientation, this is where the real psychological games begin. Be ready for everything and anything, or nothing. I once knew a guy who made it 6 weeks, thought the job was in the bag, and was in the process of moving, when he gets an uncertified letter telling him not to bother coming back.also remember that 99% of the time, some friend or family member, or someone already employed within the company had the job 8 weeks before you even bothered with an application. Have fun, and laugh at the absurdity the hr community has created.</blockquote>
