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.

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?

Almost ironic since Israel is in your name.

 

I'm quite certain not all Palestinians are terrorists...

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.

Don't open that can of worms in this here. Make a new thread to pour all your hate of each other into.

I am not try to start anything i just posted what happen today for me as this topic is about what happen to you today

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....

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.

It was for Australia's largest telco, I'm pretty sure they know what to look for in potential employees.

Alcoholism, clearly.

 

As I said, keep it up Tim. :thumbup:

How are they supposed to know they guy is an alcoholic?

 

Work experience and knowledge is useless if you can't present yourself well in interviews.

Which is a damn shame.

Gonna get $140 bucks selling my first set of school books; gonna mail them today.

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.

I don't think so.

I can talk and be nice. What's the problem? I understand some jobs are based off your character, but not all of them.

I'm sure you can. But for many jobs, someone who is unable to do a half decent interview probably has attitude and communication problems.

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.

I never said he specifically didn't have a half decent interview. Of course I wasn't there.

 

My point was merely that having superior job experience is not a guarantee of success.

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?

Because someone with bad communication skills will undoubtedly run into problems serving customers and interacting with other employees.

 

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.

Счастливи День Победы, товарищи!

 

Today I celebrated Victory Day with some friends.

Pyro is spy!

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.

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.

There's not much they can seriously do against them, but trolling is always fun, if they get creative enough.
