mcjeff215 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I've chatted with some of you regarding my soul-sucking job. I've been interviewing at a place for a couple weeks now, made two trips in. I'm meeting with the CEO tomorrow. If he likes me, it's a done deal on the spot. He wants to meet me because I guess my compensation requirements were higher than most of their folks. Company is privately held, very profitable. Goal is either public push or stay private and continue to rake it in. I could use some tips here... never had a CEO in the interview chain. -Jeff

IDBillzFan Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Two things: 1) When you tell them what you can do, make sure you tell them what it means to them. "I have the ability to blah, blah, blah...and what this means to you and the company is blah, blah, blah." 2) Tell him you want the job, but do it a part of the conversation. "McJeff, we're a profitable, private company with plans for growth." "And that's why I want to work here, Mr.CEO. Growth means opportunity, and I want a job that has plenty of opportunity." Oh...good luck.
Alaska Darin Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Wish me luck, TBD!, Final interview tomorrow... tips? 308378[/snapback] Wear pants.
Thailog80 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Wear pants. 308392[/snapback] Why? At the fag bar you work at you don't.....fuggin' hypocrite.
Tux of Borg Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 This should help you in your interview. http://www.in-actionheroes.com
IDBillzFan Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Why? At the fag bar you work at you don't.....fuggin' hypocrite. 308393[/snapback] TECHNICALLY they're not pants. They're actually chaps, which have no back to them. Easy access, I suppose.

Surfmeister Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 You got this far you're going to get the job. Be 100% positive. You can do he job. What you don't know on the first day you can learn right away. You would like to be a aprt of their family. Hours? You do whatever it takes to get the job done. When the CEO taps his stack of papers the meeting is over. Good Luck !!
Deanster Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Be direct. Ask questions about the company's plans. Ask how you can participate in the success you help to create. CEO's like to hear that people plan to be on board for the long term. If they are hiring you in a senior role they expect you to go above and beyond.

I've always been amazed by your ability to dance so well with that fist so deeply "deposited." You're obviously an athlete.

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Be yourself and show interest in and about the company.

Remind them that you'll be an asset to their company. Just stay away from Ludes for a couple days prior to the interview Seriously, good luck
RJsackedagain Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Bring some weed and offer the CEO a little "Peace Pipe" puffing before you sit down to chat -- I bet he'll go for it.
millbank Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Head up, shoulders back, look him in the eyes , good firm handshake. As stated before use the "we" word and leave the "I" at home. Good luck to you

RJsackedagain Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Dude, I don't think he's trying to get a job with the Dolphins. 308454[/snapback] Are you suggesting he go in with a bong instead???
