ISREAL63 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Today is Memorial Day for the Soldiers Who Fell in Israel's Wars and the Victims of Terror Attacks Seems like I'll have to lit a candle for the Palestinians, then. For who? To the terrorist that blew themselves up in name of Hamas or the PLO 2 Terrorist organization created with one goal to destroy Israel? To the solders of the Arab armies that marched to Israel trying to destroy it but died trying to kills innocent people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Almost ironic since Israel is in your name. I'm quite certain not all Palestinians are terrorists... Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 In fact many of them are destitute; 50% unemployment if you believe some people. Of course that and terrorism aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Anyway I'm sure lighting candles will fix the problem either way. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furah Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 So pissed off. I didnt get the tob at a phone company but my friend did. He already has a decent job and ZERO technology experience and HE gets the job. Australia really is the land of unfairness.Clearly he did something that piqued their interest. Maybe if you didn't whine all the time.... Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement. Quote of 2013. PCGamingWiki - Let's fix PC gaming!

Ginger_Warrior Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'd look at it this way: If they're going to pick someone who needs training up over someone who can already do the job capably, what does that say about them as employers? Not much. Keep going, the right job's out there. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obfuscator Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't think so. You need good personal skills to excel at almost all jobs. If you can't manage to be friendly and speak well enough at interviews that would severely hurt your ability to many jobs well.

But for many jobs, someone who is unable to do a half decent interview probably has attitude and communication problems.

Ginger_Warrior Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'm not doubting the importance of people skills for a job in telecoms. I mean it's in the name really. But you weren't at his interview so how can you call it less than 'half-decent'? Seems pretty derisive. For all you know he could have had a good interview, but his friend simply had a better one. He might have had a bad day when normally his interviewing technique is good--lord knows we've all had bad job interviews in our time, it's a skill in itself that needs learning. You're making all sorts of broad judgements on very anecdotal evidence. In a way, it's useful your friend got the job because now you've got contact with the winning candidate, as well as the company's feedback. You can ask him what answers he gave; what he was doing that you weren't and how you can improve your technique for the next interview. Most important thing is not to let your head drop. I've seen too many people I once knew from high school go to job interviews, get rejected and then not bother going for another one for fear of the same thing happening. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I wasn't there. My point was merely that having superior job experience is not a guarantee of success.

Giordano Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I think it's the over-glorified sugar-coating companies give out. How much experience or people skills do you need to say "May I take your order", count some money, and give change? I'm here to get money, not 'professional experience' and a 'lifelong career with MacDonalds' (that's lulz-y) and you're here to make money. Why can't we just get along that way?

I was an assistant manager at a fast food place for two years and I saw this every day.Yes, idiots ruining it for the rest of us. Just remember, not all of us are like that. I mean, I give off the "bad communication skillset" personality, but I just don't say a damn word is why. I talk when I have to, not in excess, so I seem a bit blunt and 'out of it' in interviews...not really. But, whatever. If complete [wagon] and mentally ill patients can get jobs I can too, somehow.

Maze Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 People are already organizing counter-protests and stuff for Westboro coming to our school tomorrow. I tell them to stop being idiots and just ignore them, but they HAVE TO do something. Some people are actually talking about violent acts against them. The WBC will sue their asses off if they lay a finger on them. *loud sigh* People just don't [bleep]ing listen. Stop trying to be "heroes" or "good people" and just ignore them if you really want them to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 My suitemate may go to one of the counter-protests, not to protest, but just to observe. I agree with you though. All they want is attention.
