15 Sep 2006 01:20 pmJob interview for Christmas casualing at David Jones this morning.
For anyone who's read Don Watson's Weasel Words, at least half of the session was straight out of its pages, except they were taking themselves seriously. We got a solemn talk about the company's Key Vision Statement and their 5 Non-Negotiable Employee Competencies...honestly, it was all I could do to keep a straight face. It wasn't the concepts I had any objection to, just the ridiculous wanky material they were trying to sell us on. Anyway. Ice-breaker stuff, a group marketing sales pitch, a customer service problem solving thinger, why do you want to work for us, blah-de-blah.
I think it went okay. I give good interview.
