Hi, this is Jeff, typing on my phone. The smart thing to do = research the company extensively. Know what they do, what they don't. Do your homework in advance. Take notes, even.

[Black and White]

Best of luck Niko, stay confident

[Rasheed1]

Make sure you learn something about the company you wish to work for and also the specific job you are interviewing for..

you are a smart guy


Good luck to ya... :cheers: you can do it.

this is some terrible jeffing advice

[niko]

Remember to whip it out.
Advice that fits so many situations.

[knickballer]

I'm sure a chap like you is experienced with interviews and the process. Just remember to be confident and in a talkative mood. Good luck brah

Here's a link that helps me with ideas for the generic questions they ask you

BTW, is this an accounting position?

[mr.big35]

Is it for senior analyst position Niko?
Good luck on your interview.

[It's A VC3!!!]

If it's not too personal and intruding, what position is this for? As others have said, just be yourself, confident and knowing the company helps. Also, tell them that you're a Nets fan. Since the Nets are the premier basketball team in New York and have more fans than the Knicks (as evidenced tonight at MSG), you will gain a lot of bonus points.:cheers:

It's a Finance Director at a Media company.

And what is basketball? I'm a football fan. My giants, and there many titles. :cheers:

[imdaman99]

Good luck dude, knock their socks off :cheers:

[knickballer]

remember if you start to get nervous whip it out. Experts usually say it's a good backup option to fall back to if you don't have good answers.

[Jameerthefear]

I wish you luck niko :cheers: Jeff is so much nicer than Steve and the other guy btw :lol

Two votes for whip it out. Hmm...

:lol So the Knicks have finally pushed you over. Can't blame you.
Cool, good luck with that job.

The Nets stink too (albeit much less than us), you've just rewritten the script on what is acceptable. :cheers: I find that hard to do. Maybe at some point i will and we'll slide into 8th and ill have a party.

I will do my best everyone...thanks...

Yeah, Jayda's a bastard.

The Nets record is bad but they are not a bad team like the Knicks. The Nets are a good team. Anyways, this isn't a Nets thread so no more rumbling about the Nets from me in this thread.

[Jameerthefear]

heh niko didn't acknowledge me....

[I<3NBA]

if you're running blank, talk about the Knicks and Nets.

[TheMan]

They interview at McDonald's now?

[glidedrxlr22]

Good luck ish brother! Keep us updated. :cheers:

[magic chiongson]

good luck, let us know how it went :cheers:

[imdaman99]

Updates Niko? Or they making you wait an hour? :rant

[rufuspaul]

Good luck!

[Real Men Wear Green]

luck to you.

[niko]

Hey. Just got home. I thought it went well, I was a very good fit for the position, and with the people I met with. There are more people being interviewed, then in 2 weeks (always takes long) they will call back for 2nd so I won't know before then.

Will update when i know...

[mr.big35]

Looks like you will get the job.

[niko]

Looks like you will get the job.
Not necessarily. Don't rush things...

[Budadiiii]

You're unemployed? :oldlol:

[KevinNYC]

You're unemployed? :oldlol:
Ass.

[niko]

You're unemployed? :oldlol:
Nope, I'm consulting right now. I have two jobs, about 30 hours though only total. Clearly a permanent position that paid better and had good benefits would outweight that.

BTW, the only way to avoid ever being unemployed is not to work. Companies go under, have problems, shit happens. Life is different once mommy and daddy don't send the checks or you don't work sitting at a pc in daddy's garage.

Oh the anticipation. hope you get it!

[cos88]

nobody cares about your interview niko :facepalm

[niko]

Me too. I think i have a different interview next week. Hopefully things start getting traction. Last year in the fall the positions just stopped opening and it was really frustrating sitting around.

You working part time at a fast food joint or something?

I'm surprised you don't have any connections. Hell, I'll be able to get by easily in life because of my parents.

Some just aren't as lucky. I wish you luck though.

I had so smack you down before, i don't recall why. :lol I see you hold a grudge.

We all got a little freak in us.

It's always like that. As you know, companies need to close budget gaps come the end of the year, so freezing the new hirings is always one of the first measures. The beginning of the year is always the best time to look for a new job. Anyway, best of luck to you.

buena suerte, muchacho!


btw, do you have an avocation that could possibly turn in to a second career? this is maybe, sorta working for me. maybe.

[Jameerthefear]

I hope you get the job, niko.

[magic chiongson]

keep looking for other interviews while waiting for teh next 2 weeks

[moaz]

Good luck niko.

and thanks for reminding me why I have 2 trolls on my ignore list :cheers: .

what... people who dislike ferengi...?

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah, waiting is definitely the worst. I'm actually waiting for a call back about a phone interview I had for a position in NY and it's torture. Sounds like you will have other opportunities to pursue that will help distract you.

I had an interview at Warner Music and they told me "we will get back to you in about 5/6 weeks. What? And everyone always says they need you to start right away, but the interview process takes weeks and weeks and weeks.

Wow, 5-6 weeks is pretty crazy. Don't think I've ever had an interviewer tell me anything beyond 2-3.

[niko]

I got a second interview! Don't know when yet, the HR person called really late and then wasn't around. Fingers are double crossed now (Or maybe twice as many are crossed, double cross sounds bad.) Back to preparation!
