Honesty . . .

Recommended Posts

Quote

A renewal coordinator position at an insurance carrier (group benefits). I was being 100% honest, which is NOT the thing to do in an interview. It was like I couldn't shut my mouth, though. :D

You, are the one in the right. It may hurt but, they can't seem to handle your honesty so, they probably aren't a company you would want to work for. They may not like your honesty but, they gotta respect you for it!;)

Wanna hear the funniest thing? They compared me to Peter on Office Space, because I was so straightforward with my answers. :D

As if I needed further proof of how cool you are.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

...but the problem is I'M the honest one...



Do us all a favor, and define honesty.

God always makes a rainbow. Accept that.

Don't tell them anymore than they need to know. Otherwise, you're not going with the flow (of people) that God has put you in. If you don't go with the flow, you'll never get ahead. If you don't like the flow, vote with your feet. Otherwise, you'll become a rock in a big river. Unless you're really tough, getting beat all the time starts to hurt after a while.

Become a reservoir of knowledge/energy by listening. You have a right to feed yourself and pay for your skydives, independent of whether you like the people you're working with or not.

And when you do it, please let me know B|

Then my answers would be something like, "You give me money, and we all cool. I'll do whatever you want, long as you don't ask me to sexually assault a horse or something".

If I found a job that would hire me after that, I'd work there until the day I died. :D

That is kinda funny... haha.. I think it should be a law that if you work in an office you should have to have seen that movie at least twice.

It was just a bad interview . . . like my social filter wasn't turned on or something. Their questions were weird and totally threw me off. I can't even really remember anything, except when they compared me to Peter. Too bad I wasn't interviewing with The Bobs. :D

I always tell the truth in an interview.
but NEVER under any circumstances would I volunteer information or opinions that could jepardize my job. Unless directly asked,

for example:
empolyer "If we give you $$ will you do some crazy shit?"
empolyee "As long as the $$ is right, you damn straight!" :S:D:D

kelly, you and I both know you know better! LOL.

Neighbors?:o

Many insurance companies have a very different idea of honesty than most people. Maybe you need to speak to them on their level :)

Seriously, if you're a really honest person, maybe it's best that you don't get this job. I've taken jobs that I didn't really care for from the interview ($$$), and they were just as bad as I thought they would be.
