Turns out I don't know the date and the interview is actually today. So if you're graduating in May and headed to WDSM today for an interview, you've been warned.


ask them if they poop at places they are interviewing at.


And if anyone is going to WDSM to interview...........don't poop while there. We'll hear about it.

The sure tell that it's WDSM, the weird interviewer who doesn't actually come into the conference room with the rest of the team, but stands outside and looks thru the window.
 
but my sister bought a DSLR and now she's a photographer. That's how it works, right? :jimlad:
My photojournalism instructor/advisor at ISU told me automatic mode on a DSLR needs to be renamed "Grandma mode."

If you want to use auto mode on a DSLR, that's fine, to each their own. Don't understand why you would drop that much money on a piece of technology and then not learn how to properly use it.

It just grinds my gears when someone posts one "good" photo online, that was clearly taken in auto mode, and everyone is like, "Oh! You should be a photographer."

I didn't report, because I didn't know how to. It was going to be his word against mine.

Didn't get the job anyway.


I'd have to do the google-dy do to figure that one out because that's tricky. From advice I've gotten, it seems like it's usually the women who get those questions, so at least that person was an equal opportunity discriminator? It's actually fairly common advice to younger engaged women to now wear their ring into interviews.

they'll call him "the behavioral analyst"

Did you put an "out of service" notice on the bathroom door?

Edit: should have finished reading the thread before posting. Cowgirl beat me to it.

I want one because I semi know how to do all that from a previous job. I keep telling my wife I am not buying one so she can feel better about the pictures she is taking that are the same quality as her phone.

Be sure to ask their religious affiliation and about their stance on abortion, guns, and gays in the military.

Oh, and if it's a female, be sure to call her "honey" and ask her if she'd ever sleep with a superior if the job demanded it.

...or even if the job didn't demand it, but the superior did...
 
actually, I think WDSM shouldn't say a word. He should just sit there and stare at them the whole time.

I did that once. Although that's because I didn't know I was being included in the interview until about 30 seconds before it started.
 
I actually had someone use the "open window blind" trick on me. After introducing myself and shaking his hand, I sat down and was blasted by sunlight. I immediately said, "I'm sorry, would it be ok if I closed those blinds?"

The guy didn't say anything, just stared at me. So after a moment I went ahead and closed them anyway. I had a decent interview, but I never got a second. I always kinda wonder if I failed one of his "tests".

I figured if he wanted someone to suffer through some BS test like that without saying anything, I probably wasn't going to be the man for the job anyway.
