Mutt vrs Ice Tea - Success thread

“NONE OF YOU HAVE ONE PIECE OF LITURATURE TO PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!!!!!

I've reread this thread and am confused. Exactly which of your points are you expecting people to prove wrong?

You've made the following points so far:

*Research
*Dress appropriately
*Have confidence/faith
*Visualize
*Put time and effort into it

I've already argued these are common sense suggestions and available for free on the Internet. I seriously doubt anyone is going to disagree with you on these; in fact other posters have voiced their agreement.

That leaves one point you made which should and has been refuted:

if you take my advise, luck will have nothing to do with acceptance to your new carear. If you get the job, it is because you where diserving, persistant, determaind, and had faith, not because of luck. Luck is the foundation the losers build their house on

This has some comedic value to be sure. However, I thoroughly refuted it and you agreed with my refutation: I do understand you point, that it is luck if you wined up with an interview that is on the same wave length as your self

Then you contradicted yourself, explaining away this factor of luck as a "6th sence." [sic] This in turn brought up the point that practice (at actually interviewing) is the best way to learn how to connect with interviewers. You agreed with this: I do agree practice helps alot.

Lastly you make a lame appeal to authority, citing your contacts and books again. But it's been pointed out painfully clearly: you're not a credible authority on the subject because you don't have professional experience, you haven't gone through professional interviews, and you've never interviewed anybody.

So what is it you're actually defending? Because it seems like you've already agreed with the most of the refutations leveled against your arguments, and the others you've ignored.

As far as I can tell you're trying to justify spending $200 on books and tapes by pretending your common-sense suggestions are rare insight into interviewing. There's no point in refuting that since it's self-apparent how absurd it is.”

“Lyra,
You want that in metric or ASE?”

“Hi Dork.”

“Priaprus, next time you're new here, you need to start a thread on that theme. it's the only proper way...you wouldn't want to miss out on everyone calling you a troll, would you?? sheesh.”

“Hey! I resemble that remark. *”

“oh, really? * ”

“Limpy is a colostomy bag?”

“alrighty then! nice to meet you. i'll refrain from shaking your hand, if you don't mind...don't want to get that close. LOL!

and...you must be around 45? and your social security number is...?"

“Violin, where the heck did you come up with that? (someone needs to take his medication!)

“I think it has something to do with pledging to a fraternity or sorority.”

“it's never a good idea to get into a fight with a kid. Tea's exuberance is praiseworthy - hopefully his capacity for critical thinking and his insight will grow to match it. There is plenty of time."

Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.”

“as long as I wasn't naked in that picture then that's ok limpy”

“You were behind a shrub, but you were shirtless. Strange though, you had an "A shirt" tan and a Blue Oyster Cult gimme hat.”
