    Here's some advice - don't ask advice from a buncha degenerates on an Internet gambling forum who probably most have never gotten a job that requires an interview! Lol


    Use your computer, sit at a table/desk, wear a button up and maybe a tie, and no pants whatsoever.

    And check your background for anything embarrassing.

    Gotcha. I looked it up. Was just curious. My advice which isn't worth a thing would be the following. Look nice, let whoever it is talk without interrupting, be confident with a strong posture, wear a nice shirt but nothing too crazy, take a deep breath, and give yourself a few seconds before answering.

    Damn, that's a run on sentence if I've ever seen one. Just be you, man. You're good. Don't over think it. You probably already have the damn job. Smile, nod, and do you.

    I love that The Kraken rushes to the board with all his personal, life-changing moments.

    He is disgusted by most of the politics, but can appreciate our advice in other areas.

    His open-mindedness has led him to a life of bedpans and trannys. One of SBR's finest.

    Nice write up. I just called a buddy and chatted on facetime, its definitely different. The medium is somewhat uncomfortable. It'll be all good though. I feel pretty comfortable because I have a great job already. I'll update you tomorrow.

    Ya, I know its crazy, I dont agree with everyones political beliefs, but I respect them enough that I dont let politics skew how I view them as a person.

    Not your best analysis Giant.

    We all fight about politics, then we get over it and help each other where we can

    All u need is the top, could literally do it in underwear without pants. Might have to do another one and if they go well then it's in person with 3 or more people interviewing you at once

    Fair point.

    Despite our political differences, I still find you to be an above average poster.

    Good luck on your interview. I would advise you to do it with your pants down. If you happen to get interviewed by a hot chick, you can give your cokk a pull, and she'll never know. Nothing like a good mental fukking during a stressful moment.

    I've already done my research, she's a solid 6, soft 7. Will probably be posting on SBR during interview. I'm not entirely sure I want the job, so I'm thinking of how to sabotage the interview, some good ideas in here so far. Probably going to hang one of my ar15's on the wall behind me and have a bottle of oxy and Jack sitting next to me.

    Wear one level nicer clothes than what you will be wearing for the job. Make sure there is nothing awkward in the background, and make sure the place where you will be sitting will be quiet for 30+ minutes. Also, before the interview test your microphone levels on the device you plan on using.


    Oh yeah, make sure you are always looking at the camera and not the video/picture on the screen.

    Boxers and a dress shirt and tie. You have to make sure you're comfortable. Just don't stand up.

    Funny hats are a must.

    Pausing the interview and blaming it on poor connection a must.

    Fat guy eating stuffed crust pizza in the background is a must.

    Experience: Having a girlfriend and traveling a lot.
