You know when they ask "what's the hardest you've ever pushed yourself" as an interview question... what sort of answers do you lot come up with?

[Nidge Weasle]

5 wanks in one day

You come up with something smart like "I don't really note times like that, I constantly push myself and see new challenges as opportunities to impress"

Then you give more than one example of times when you've gone above and beyond

[Badman]

"my work ethic demands that I push myself hard to achieve my goals. However I do not push myself to the point where I burn out. For me its key to find the right balance to maintain momentum and consistency"

Lol @ trynna remember that for an interview. Mostly sprout the first BS thought that pops up in my head.

[Seymour Cake]

No point saying any generic vague bullshit.

You HAVE to use solid real life (could even be a lie) examples to stand out.

I've had a few. On one occasion I did wear jeans.

 

I had to rearrange my room a little though so that there was just wall in the background.

 

I can only think of standard interview tips to give tbh. One thing is make sure you look into the actual camera. I personally had to get rid of the screen showing myself because it was distracting. I've heard/read that you should keep it to make sure you are presenting yourself well. I figured though that you don't really see yourself in a normal f2f interview. Get a cam up and practice beforehand - make sure your laptop/camera is at a decent angle/level so that you can sit up right - I had to put mine on a stack of books - but work with whatever is most comfortable.

Got an internal promotion at work.

 

Did work in a medium secure mental health unit for prisoners, been promoted to work in the community mental health team. More pay, Mon-Fri 9-5 hours and will be able to get a decent car on lease. Winning.
