lovestruck234 Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I have to agree with allina on this one... No-one here was trying to be rude at all, especially me. That's the annoying thing about it sometimes, you ask a question you think seems perfectly relevant, and you get lots of responses you weren't hoping for. Hey, I'm guilty of getting defensive every now and then when someone says soemthing I don't really wanna hear, BUT you've got to understand that there are thousands of people on this site, some outspoken and opinionated and somewhat straight to the point, some are a little more conservative. Although I don't believe you are being immature. I think it's completely understandable when someone writes something on here you don't agree with or you find offensive, OF COURSE you first reaction is to have the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Maybe just try next time to sit back for a minute and understand that these are people OPINIONS, they are entitled to them, just the same as you are. You're never going to agree with everyone. I find the best thing to do is just keep my mouth shut. Just let it pass me by. Offensive or not. I'm not ganging up on you, I'm just offering a helping hand. I understand how intimidating it gets sometimes, but you gotta be strong!! Don't let people offend you!! K?
Guest Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 LoL... I'm done. I've had my share of laughs. BU-BYE! Damn, I sure wouldn't hire you!
Pink Amulet Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Not a horrible person at all! Sunconciously sabotaging his chance of getting this job... possibly. The fact that you have posted on here about something as seemingly simple as accompaning him to a job interview indicates there is something more going on underneth the surface... That isn't rude at all? This might be: If you are going to ask for someones opinion, be prepared to hear something you don't want to... the world is not full of people who are going to constantly affirm your decisions and choices. But, at the end of the day, you are the only one that's going to make them. So buck up girl, learn to take criticism on the chin, or don't ask for help.
Outcast Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 You are very young as is your bf and you do not understand the world of work. And I'm guessing your mom doesn't work either. NOBODY will hire someone who brings a friend, parent, wife, dog, budgie, teddy bear, invisible friend, or anyone other than himself to an interview. It is EXTREMELY unprofessional. You get a job to work, not to socialize. People want to hire a person who is going to do the job, not someone who hangs out with buddies when he's supposed to be working so to drag somebody along to an interview would give an extremely bad impression. Of course, you can continue to not believe anybody, go with him, and then find out why they refused to hire him because they won't. Fun is fun, work is work, and you really need to understand the difference if you plan to be a success in your work life.
littlekitty Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 You can work with a friend and no one looks down on you. You can deposit money at the bank with someone and no one looks down on you. You can go to a doctor's appointment with someone and no one looks down on you. You can go to an interview for a scholarship with someone and no one looks down on you. Don't look too much into a simple interview for a job. lol. Unfortunately none of these are the same as going for a job interview. You are obtaining a service from the doctor and bank. You are already working with your friend. Personally I wouldn't take a friend for a scholarship interview either, but again, it's not a job interview. At a job interview you are asking them to employ and pay you. You need to appear to be a confident, independant adult. Not someone who needs their friend there. It's just what is expected. Still, shame he didn't get the job. Hope he finds something right soon.
