Hello my name is (x) and I piss myself

Ok, just had an interview and I actually didn't get it.
Apparently I was 'over confident'
How the feck in Mugzs' name can you be over confident>

I mean what is the norm in confidence levels...
'Hello, my name is Barry Scott and I piss myself whenever someone come's near me...I am also a virgin as I run away whenever a woman is in the same town as me'

I mean, that's bullshit.

Has anyone ever heard of similar replies from a potential future employer.

I won't lie to people - I do probably portray myself maybe more confident than the average 'Joe' but if you didn't you'd sh!t yourself everytime you wanted a woman to suck you off.
But in no way was I that in the interview. Feckers.
I think it was a way of fobbing me off.

Barry your probably a really clever guy ... but as per most IT professionals probably have the social skills of a junkyard dog.

Try being a suckup next time and offer more limited responses with lots of comments like "I am keen to learn" and "I want to be part of your team" and "I want to update all of the Windows policies on every PC in the place manually after checking the system registry line by line".

Did you tell them you love helpdesk work and want to get out and meet all of the "users" at the site?

It is also all about image.

You should have covered the tattoo's up, trimmed the goatee, brushed the hair, worn a suit ... did you bathe prior ??

You might have also scared them with your superior knowledge.

Feel free to invite them to post here and we will retaliate ... just wait till wingy returns (in case we need a semifluid artillery barrage)

Commisserations dude.

I always thought most geeks/nerds were introverts.

Employers like someone with a flexible personality as they are easier at working in teams. At my workplace many qualified technicians were not keap because they were too smartass and arrogant , even though they may have been right about the subject in question. You need to show that you have a light side and do not take yourself all too seriously. Depends on the position of course. In sales it would be different and in a position where you work more independantly of others.

you know very well that is NOT good advice stranger!

Fixx0rd

And the person in question is a very naive 16 year old...you just have to help her adjust to her very first job.

I think mugz last post was brilliant.

If we can get him working on the cold fusion problem next ...

Someone track him down and attach some probes ... insert a few just in case ... then reinsert for good measure.

So that's why he's a hole-y man?

Meh. Only if you don't spoon him afters.

When um ... it is cold and raining.
