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?

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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?

I work at the school here and I'm a teacher back in my world. What sort of insight would you like to have?

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?

[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.]

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.

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

[Nobunaga has a different problem with jobs. But now he's thinking he should just open 15 different businesses. Even if means becoming a dreaded landlord.]

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. ]

I'm a full-time student! Would you like to ask me?

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. ]

[Lightning isn't one for checking the network often—only when boredom strikes—and today just happens to be that day. When she comes across Zuko's post, she makes a face at her phone. Talk about entitlement... She isn't feeling like starting an internet argument today, but she's curious...

Mostly bored.]

Did people just hand you jobs where you're from?

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.]
