Topic: Job Applications are serious business!
TheSheep !kJ.A4PF7.k started this discussion 15 years ago #4,268
So well, I actually like my job here in Croatia, and everything, but I strive for better and better all the time, so I applied for an IT consulting position.
So among the qualifications needed for the job, there was a list of colleges and it said something like:
"-the candidate must have finished one of these"
On the list, the college I quit, but also the college I'm atm. going to here in Croatia.
So I'm filling out the application, and next to "-the candidate must have finished one of these" I write the college I went to and write "I surely am finished with that one" ...
I got a mail yesterday, and went for the interview today, passed the first elimination, even tho they now know I don't have a college degree. Next week another interview to check my knowledge on the subject their doing business with, and then decision time if I got the job or not.
I'm still laughing :'D

That's funny, eh. But won't they think that when you said you were finished to mean that you graduated? I don't know aboot you, but I wouldn't want to have this come up when I've finally settled in.

As an IT Consultant, I guess I'll need to shit talk their costumers the way I shit talked them... I pulled quite a show off, fully suited up (even shoes, yes I'm still TheSheep that will go to his own wedding in Vans) and such confidence, an awesome answer on every question they asked... was quite a laugh...
EDIT: I think I translated the job title a bit, all in all the company I applied for offers IT Solutions, and I'm the guy potential clients talk with, suggesting them what to get...
