I have to give an interview in 45 minutes. Any advice?

**EWG** · 04-28-2021, 10:21 AM

I actually do a good number of interviews for various things - not like CBS news or anything, but for press/conferences/lectures etc within the industry. I'm prepping for one right now, and kind of numb to them at this point, and decided I needed to get it new and fresh again. So I thought "you know, who better to up my interview game than the TGR collective?" Perfectly sane and not at all a stupid idea.

So, what's your advice? Up my game. Or get me back to my TGR roots. Or fuck with me. I'm open. And bored of these things, so I need something to spice it up.

I can't wait to see what you maggots come up with.

Go.

Steve Young has a local radio show. They give him a word to work in during his weekly national TV broadcast. It's funny to see if he can do it. I think you should work in the word "obfuscate".

Sweat pant boner behind the lectern.

I had a coworker that was laid off and 'allowed' to retire that would play the word of the day with me on our daily team meeting. It usually got out of hand and turned into 'how fast can you mute your line'. We were terrible. I miss her. It's not the same without her.

try not to stare at the interviewer's tits-

**EWG** · 04-28-2021, 10:42 AM

Part of me thinks this may have been a bad idea. The other part of me is trying to figure out how to use $37, obfuscate, and box fan in a sentence about my new cane.

"We expected some problems, but we didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" Look around nervously, shrug and continue.

if it's a zoom interview, buy some eyeball stickers for your eyelids and do the whole interview with your eyes closed. Only open them when you sign off and say 'thanks'

One of my favorites during marathon interview sessions later in the day:

'Part of our company culture is enjoying each other's company. You have 30 seconds to make me laugh.' Then start a timer.

Watching socially awkward college engineer types short circuit on this one is always amazing. Usually makes me laugh anyway.

Combine it with the super troopers cat game for the most "meows"

**BmillsSkier** · 04-28-2021, 10:54 AM

Wait, how can we trust this guy^^^

He's clearly not DJSapp.

**Conundrum** · 04-28-2021, 10:57 AM

Just don't send him money.

**Meathelmet** · 04-28-2021, 11:02 AM

Rub a quick one.

Just because you can.

**Danno** · 04-28-2021, 11:03 AM

If you can work in a reference to husky latin women, you will be my hero.

**riser4** · 04-28-2021, 11:18 AM

Littering and???

**Cruiser** · 04-28-2021, 11:25 AM

New cane? Perhaps you can stroke it lovingly but subtly while you're describing it, all the while keeping a nice steady but ever increasing tempo until, at the very end of the interview, you sigh mightily and set the cane aside with a forlorn expression of the sort of discontent you only feel after you've deeply and sincerely committed yourself to a thing only to come to the crushing realization that ultimately you'll be unsuccessful
