OT: Interview Question

[GGL]

I am currently looking for a new network admin job, I count my blessing, but I always get the question "Why do you want to leave your current job".. the real reason is my job doesn't acknowledge I have a college degree or computer certifications and won't pay me more money, but that is not what a perspective employeer wants to hear.. What are some good responses to this question?? Thank You for any input

Greg

PS: I know this is REALLY OFF topic so kinda bear with me!! ;)

"I realize that there is no room for movement in my curent position. Because of this, I feel that I must move on"

[SevenStar]

you could take the brutally honest approach

"the money sucks and so does the management. I''m overworked, underpaid and it's just time for me to go."

[Serpent]

"I eviscerated my old boss with a spoon for not giving me the afternoon off to go to the match, so I don't really have a job right now."

[Serpent]

Or how about:

"When the CEO found me boning his missus on the boardroom table he told me to look for another position without delay. When I rolled her over doggy style he went ballistic and sacked me..... Are you married?"

[Serpent]

Or:

Employer: "So Mr GGL, why do you want to leave your current job?"

GGL: *opens eyes really wide, stars off into space* "Because it's all..... quiet.. there.. now..."

Then start picking at your teeth absently with your overlong pinky nail*.






*You'll have to grow your pinky nail first for this one, of course.

[Serpent]

I'm not really helping, am I......

[Serpent]

More seriously, a good one is always:

"Well, for a long time the job was very challenging, but the position has become somewhat stagnant and I don't feel challenged any longer. I think I've achieved all I can in my current job and feel it's time to move on."





But that's just boring as bat****.

[SevenStar]

messing around with the CEO's wife WILL get you fired - even if you didn't know she was his wife....trust me.....

[SevenStar]

test: bat****

why is it that you and MP don't get censored, but I do??!??! are you using ALT characters that look like the letter?

[Serpent]

I'm sorry, that's secret knowledge only ever passed down from sifu to his most trusted disciples.

It's called the Secret View Source Technique....

Ah, I've already said too much! ;)

No more suggestions for this poor fellow? Don't leave him just with my stupid suggestions and Seven's really boring one! ;)

[joedoe]

"I felt I had grown beyond that position and it was time for me to find one that would challenge me to fulfill my potential"

:)

Oh, BTW that is a load of bull****

Muahahaha. I now have the power!!!! :D

[Xebsball]

I got fired for downloading the sound file from the internet of Meg Ryan doing the fake orgasm on "When Harry Met Sally " and assigned it to all the functions of the boss's computer and cranked up the volume.

The man simply had no sense of humor.....
