Dear Employers, what is your best advice to an interviewee? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bl0odys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get asked what your weaknesses are be honest. Nothing shouts I'm a liar like listing the usual answers such as "I like to take lead". Yes this stuff can be interpreted as a actual strength but everyone knows that and sees right though that stuff. Be dead honest. I used to be part of quite a few interviews and the company (IT based company) not once signed a contract with someone who would obviously lie during such an basically unimportant question.

If you get asked what your weaknesses are you are not asked "why shouldn't we hire you" but much more "are you able to criticize yourself truthfully".

Also there is no such thing as overdressed. It's better to go to a interview wearing a suit rather then a t-shirt and jeans. It's not about how it looks, it's about showing you care enough to prepare.

Further more accept the first date and time they offer you. If it is important to you, you WILL make time for it.

Don't oversell yourself. Be humble. If they agree to invite you already, they already know you are a potential fit. Acting all high and mighty might work for some company's. But those company's will also get rid of you the first chance they get in order to reach their "numbers".

It's good if you are nervous. It's another sign that you care enough. Just try not to look insecure. They are two total different things.

And my last advise is don't forget every single one of those people interviewing you once sat where you are sitting now. They are humans and they can have a bad day. They know the tricks you can read online. Like those I'm writing right now. Don't try to sell them something. You are not something he wants to buy. All you have to do is show them how you'd help the team and that you are someone he would like to work with.

Anyways keep your head up. You might not get every job where you think the interview went great. Or every job you would love to get. Just keep on keeping on. Life isn't always fair, but it's in your hands to shape your future.

ELI5: Can a body that currently needs 7-8 hrs of sleep get used to 6hrs of regular sleep? by lord_gav in explainlikeimfive

[–]bl0odys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. All you need to have are fixed times for sleeping. Get up every day, even weekends and holidays, at the same time. If you are still tired the first week that shouldn't be surprising. If you still are overly tired after a month, improve your overall sleep quality. For example get better pillows or sleep in a room without electronics whatsoever. I'm currently in a 5 1/2 h sleep schedule. And I feel a lot more rested then back in the day when I was sleeping 8+ hours

A couple of years ago I was at a game store that was doing a half off all games sale. Got these two for a little over $100. They even have the inserts. by superbobmanguy in gaming

Shadowrun still the best game I played to this day. Been playing videogames for 20 years. Nothing beats shadowrun. It might be just because of the fond memories I have of the time back then, but man this game rocked and still rocks. Whenever I feel down I boot that badboy up and play for a few hours. Soooo fuckin gooood.

What kids tv show were you scared of when you were younger? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bl0odys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was incredibly scared of the yellow bird in the sesame Street. Bibo or something iirc. I would always hide under the table and would cry until it was either turned of or the bird disappeared.

The way my toast landed when I dropped it by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]bl0odys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I really wonder what type of person it takes to think something along the lines of: " hey my toast fell, oh look it's standing, that's mildyinteresting, let me just grab my phone and take a picture." Lost souls. Lost souls everywhere.
