Group Interviews

I recently had a group interview for an imaging editing job at a photo studio in my local area. I want to share my experience as I found navigating the interview to be... awkward.

Once sat in what looked to be the lunch room with four others with two long tables facing the front of the room. This is where another table sat three chairs. We were given a pen and an application. Everyone sat very far apart at first; not sure if more people were joining this group. After five minutes, our applications were collected, and no one else joined our small group. The next hour and 15 minutes went like this.

Simple introductions were made by the employers and we were asked to state our name and the position we applied for. I was mildly surprised to learn that more than one position was being interviewed at the same time. Each person went to state their name, their experiences and education, and why they wanted the job. The next 20 to 25 minutes were spent giving a very detailed explanation of one of the positions.

Then we had a fun question time, in which we were asked such questions as "Cat or Dogs?", "Favorite Season", "Do you sing in the car?". I felt it was odd to put it almost halfway through the interview and not with an introduction. However, it was a nice break from listening to someone explaining the job.

The second part of the interview was more of an explanation of the position I applied for. In the end, we were asked the most dreaded question.

Why should we hire you?

I was taken aback by being asked that question as I felt slimy explaining why I should be hired right next to the same people going after the same job. And how does one answer this question?

Each person went a different route. Two people went the more personal route, saying why they wanted the job and the parts they were excited about. The other two had a mix of personal, along with stating how they want the job to grow career-wise. And I went with... stating how I think I stand out and wanting more experience within my field.

The interview ended with a tour of the studio. Overall, while I feel confident in my interview abilities. I could not help to feel awkward throughout the entire endeavor.

What are some tips for being less awkward during interviews? Please leave them in the comments.

"nobody wants to work anymore" but a low paying casual retail job wants you to travel to a capital city you don't live in, which is a considerable distance and time travelled from you (when you actively have a branch of this shop in your LOCAL shopping centre, 15mins down the road); for a group interview assessment centre. they then make you CONGA LINE into the said group interview with party poppers and streamers. like ma'am. I don't care how "ironic hipster millennial and 90s nostalgia" and "life of the party" this brand is supposed to be. but I ain't conga lining into this interview like a fucking clown. fuck some hiring managers and HR depts, honestly.

people on iwtv twt play too much 😭. assad deserves every single award there is, and all the praises for his phenomenal performance in "Don't be afraid, just start the tape" (S2E5). what a gem of an actor, he really bodies the role and delivered mesmerizing scene after scene. the cadence, body language, facial expressions, and terrifying portrayal of an ancient vampire with unprocessed rage, contempt, and yearning all at once.

he will always be famous, and the episode will go down as one of the best on tv ever.

since the secret that the FDA blackmailed Colin with is that he is the grandson of Lucas Fontina, I guess you can say that Colin was......... grandfathered in

I wonder what Louis’s doing now that he's living alone for the first time in 145 years

So, in honour of finding a whole bunch of people who understand how appalling it is to use 'punah' in a sentence, I thought I'd open up membership of the ASAAD Brigade (A South Asian Armand Defence Brigage) to people beyond @quark4561.

We've been DMing nonstop about our headcanons and AUs and theories, and there are also long reply threads in the comments to various posts we've made. I might try to consolidate everything at some point, and add it to this post.

But till then, hi @rhaenyra-first-of-her-name @claudia-de-lioncourt @antiquititties @hozierplaying @shesgayfolks!

(And anyone else who feels like commenting! Like I said in a reply, a lot of us are just stealthing along armanding until its time to don our arun hats to play detective.)

To stick to the theme of beautiful gay Assad in period clothes being underserved by white showmakers, here's a supercut of all his scenes in what I have been told is a terrible British drama called Hotel Portofino. Where he is a Bengali named Anish Sengupta, whom everyone inexplicably calls 'Nish'. Yes, with the chhoti 'ee' ki maatra. Every white person needs to understand that vowels actually are precise in other languages. Enjoi.

Can't stop thinking about that one vampire who was going "que bonito es nuestro amor" ("how beautiful our love is" 🥺) when Armand was tapping into the Vampire Telepathic Group Chat to talk to Lestat.

Just a happy couple sending tender, love-filled messages to each other.

I like to imagine that when all the other vampires were all "kill him/burn him/hunt him down" re: Louis at the end, those two were still too busy doing heart eyes at each other to care about that whole mess - because their love actually was that damn beautiful.
