1. what do you know about job interviews?
i didnt know you have to interview to get jobs. even if it's just at a restaurant!! regardless of whether the job itself involves talking to people at all!!? stupid

[ Guess who's been bombing interviews as a part-time busboy all over town. And who's only bothering to ask about proper employment beyond random quests, um, now, after several months of just getting by...? He must be getting tired of stealing hotchips from the cornerstore. ]

2. what do you know about going to school as a full-time student here?
i heard you can make a living like this
insight about going to school in other worlds could be useful too. i was homeschooled....

[ But at least he's thinking in terms of solutions. ]

I think most jobs that have an interview do it because they'd like to make sure whoever they're hiring are good at talking to people... They're not that bad, it's usually just a few questions to get to know you first. That way they can hire the right person for the job.

I did hear that you can get paid for going to school and classes here, though. I haven't checked in on it yet since I've been busy with quests and studying magic on the side. But taking classes for some money seems like a good idea. You get to learn and support yourself at the same time?

[rediscovering]

but whats it matter if youre good at talking to people or not if thats not even part of the job requirement though!


i spend most my spare time practicing my magic on my own and im not making the progress i want
if i can get paid to study magic full time by masters who actually know what theyre doing with it...... that sounds better than busing tables
especially if part of busing tables now suddenly involves making dumb chitchat with strangers i dont care about apparently
i just need money and to better my magic thats all i care about

If you learn anything about the school, could you let me know? I've been thinking about it to.

[rediscovering]

Can’t say I know much about interviews for a job per se, but I’ve had some knowledge forced upon me in how to sound more professional than I actually am in a political setting. Perhaps the skill may be useful to you.

Regarding learning properly, honestly I grew up on a wagon in the ass-end of nowhere. My education from my childhood can be summed up with “Don’t put that in your mouth” and “How not to set anyone’s eyebrows on fire when you sneeze”. I’m probably not the best to ask about that one.

[rediscovering]

go on.
what do you mean political setting?

then how the hell did you get that job back on Furry Hell?

[rediscovering]

guy named rin offered me a job at that teppanyaki restaurant my first day in lunatia
took him up on it a few weeks later

[ Pity. He got a job out of pity. Rin helped him put out an accidental trashfire he'd started in an alley in a fit of emotion, made him lunch at his restaurant, and gave him a job, every shift at which he continued to also feed him for free, nearly every day for the next half year. Even gave him extras often for his roommates and sister. Zuko had it easy in Furry Hell, more than he'd like to admit. ]

Interviews are not just about answering the question.

[ He's about to get into full-business mode here: ]

An interview is important because it's an evaluation of your compatibility with the other people who work in a business, as well as any customers you may end up interacting with. So it's necessary regardless as to whether or not you'll interact with the customers.

We don't only observe the answers themselves, but how confidently you answer, how fast you process information to answer, and your body language throughout.

It'd be a real shame if you didn't work out and they had to find someone else, right?

You only really can get better with practice, though.

[rediscovering]

so you´re saying as long as i answer confidently, quickly, and use the right body language, then i´ll pass the interview

[ That´s not what he said, no. And what´s ¨the right¨ body language mean?! This isn´t a quiz! ]

I've only been going to school here for a couple months but it's challenging! I was going to school as a professional hero before but that was almost only to do with my Quirk where here I have to learn a lot more language and manners I never knew for the locals too?

I'm a student here and I have enough to get an apartment on my own but I'm staying in the hotel and saving up. I wanna get a big enough place for me and roomies to do our things without getting in each other's way!

[rediscovering]

so you´re making most your money just from going to school, enough that you actually have savings??

[ Zuko doesn´t have any savings, what is that ]

you study magic and local language and manners....? i studied language and manners at home thats not so challenging

[ Yes, it was. Give him a sword, he´s second to none. Give him a chance for public speaking...? Up in flames. ]

whats the most challenging thing about school here

an interview? I had only really been considering a job here. I haven't had one either.

I hadn't looked into school yet. I wonder if the classes would be the same sort of thing as with Professor Sage back home or not. But then I also had classes with the church too, with being the Chosen and all. Learning the Angelic Language and about my Journey. What was expected of me. So I guess my education wasn't the most....normal?

[rediscovering]

ive have jobs before just never had to do an interview. i just got the jobs i had....

i dont understand half of what you just said. church? chosen? angelic language?
i dont know anything about normal education either though
my sister went to our country´s most elite academy for girls where they taught military strategy and combat as well as history and stuff but i just had tutors who came to our home.... but i dont think they teach the same kind of thing here that they taught in the fire nation

Interviews are an absolutely essential part of finding employment. Employers don't want to hire people who won't fit at work, and employees don't necessarily want to work for employers who won't give them a fair deal.

I run a few businesses back home, perhaps I could help?

[rediscovering]

ok what do i say
ive worked at restaurants before, i have experience
if anything im overqualified

[ No, not really. ]

[Oh! That's a username she remembered! Don't mind her just switching to her blade-anon persona...]

Don't know a lot about job interviews, but I remember undergoing assessments before taking on active duty to make sure that I was capable of carrying out combat engagements. Medical, physical, etc.

If the principle is the same I assume they want to assess whether or not you are capable of carrying out any assignments you would have as part of the job.

Been debating investigating the school myself. Recon so far unfruitful due to

unexpected reaction.

Will need to make more thorough preparations before attempting reentry.

🔪

[Did that mean he- she's assuming 'he' from the 'prince' part of the username- was a similar age to her? That made her a little happy.

...Still, attempts to look into the school herself had made her unexpectedly nervous, for reasons she couldn't quite place.]

[rediscovering]

hey its you again!!
right???

you'd understand this. like you were talking about feeling more comfortable on a battlefield than at a party. it's the same feeling.....
assessments would be better than an interview. i wish they would just ask me to bus a table as fast as i can as if it were a really busy day or something, instead of sitting down for a long intimate conversation which will never happen again, just have me do a demonstration of the actual skills needed in the job.....
i can tell it's only because they're asking me to sit and talk like this that i'm failing even though i know that's not part of the job, because i know i know how to do this job well. it's not like it's hard. i'm overqualified. it doesn't feel fair.

[ Did you ask for his feelings? No. But you got 'em. ]

what do you mean "unexpected reaction," "unsuccessful recon"
what happened when you went to the school?

Going to school full time is a lot harder than it looks! Especially when there's a lot of information that you're not use to!

Although, that is the point as you learn and know more things before you get a job.

[rediscovering]

that's true
i'm not making enough progress with my magic studying on my own though
i'm not scared of a challenge

What job at a restaurant do you want that doesn't require talking to people? Even chefs have to talk to everyone else.

1. Where did you learn this information? What sort of things do they want to know?

[ he's not planning on getting a real job when there might still be a perfectly good war happening but... doesn't hurt to ask. ]

2. I do not know what formal instruction in this world entails, but since you also ask about other worlds: we did not have "school" but had training modules to work through. VR training. Sleep-development learning. REM enlightenment. Then we had regular examinations and were placed in small groups according to our aptitude. It also served to provide experience operating as a unit. There would be more of this once you received orders as well, for specialised training. That is how you stay sharp, after all.

I do not understand why you would need to be paid for this though.

[ he is also living rent-free at the hotel right now because he doesn't think money is important. sorry zuko, he's not very helpful. ]

[rediscovering]

1. firsthand by asking around town......
first of all they all seem to want a résumé but most places will still talk to you even if you don't have one. i don't know how to make one of those either actually..
other than that "tell me about yourself" is an annoying question a lot of people have opened with, vague
questions about interacting with customers and what i think of people on the whole. coming up with all these scenarios and role-playing...... but the questions are all open-ended so i can't figure out what they want to hear

2. honestly all that sounds more my speed
are you in some kind of military program??
and what's "sleep-development learning???"

Well, the main purpose of a job interview is to make sure that both parties will benefit from the hire. Not just for the place of employment, but for you as well, and make sure that the job meets your needs. The interview process also gives potential employers a window to the kind of employees that they might be hiring, so it's important to make a good impression.

[ So says someone who has also bombed many, many job interviews before getting hired as an unpaid intern. ]

[rediscovering]

but wouldnt they want an impression of the kind of skills i have, if i'd do a good job at the necessary tasks, more than my personality or whatever
if they're not hiring me for customer service then what's it matter, right

Are you having trouble with job interviews?
If it were me, I wouldn't tell them anything they don't want or need to hear. You don't want to accidentally shut down opportunities to get them on your side.
But to be honest, I wish interviews weren't so common here. As long as we can do what the job requires without causing trouble, it shouldn't matter.
It's why I went back to doing quests.

[This particular case of fantasy setting sensibilities might be terminal.]

[rediscovering]

what do they want or need to hear??
im of the same mindset you are. if i can do the job, hire me. im not coming to work to make friends, im coming to work to make money. shouldn't the ideal employee be someone who just shows up on time, does the job well and focuses on nothing but working, then leaves, no fuss?
i do quests now but it's not consistent, id like to know exactly what i can expect to earn regularly.
plus structure is important to me. i need routine or it starts to affect my mindset poorly.
