drug dealer or casino? rofl

I'd just recommend you look clean, hair kept well, dress pants and shirt, nice shoes. Body language means a lot, I'd act as interested in talking to the personel person that is going to interview you, or boss(whomever)
and ask questions.
I see alot of people each day in the personnel directors office at work, some sit cross armed and defensive looking. Others lean in toward the interviewer and talk more,I think the more you look interested the better you chances are..
You probably will have several interviews, a drug test, and perhaps a aptitude test.
Many times a prospective employer will ask you what you're long term plans will be within 5 years, so be prepared to have a good answer
(example is moving up in the company, taking on more responsiblity, buy a car, a home, get married, etc.) good luck!

First impressions are key... With my parents who want me in Harvard or something, you have no idea how tough it is. Make sure you act really sure of yourself. For fishing dept, I don't know if suit and tie would be the wisest thing. Just anything clean (NO JEANS AND T-SHIRT!) Strong firm handsahkes. no crossed arms. As JB said, act interested. Make sure your hair is looking good. Smelling good would also be nice... Try Cool Water II love the stuff and a 2.5 ounce bottle is like 30 bucks. Its a beachy smell though... If you want something along the liens of citrus, try Curve Crush. And woodsy, go with Verace Blue Jeans. Those last 2 are like 25 dollars.Being social is a science I have no idea why I know this.

Khaki pants, white or black shirt, and a tie. Have a nice knot in the tie, and button the shirt ALL the way to the top. Firm handshakes, and be sure of yourself. No hesitation is the key.
Be confident!!

Note to self. Dress for success is a good TRICK and TECHNIQUE for catching bass.

Why was this posted here and not the non-fishing related page? I know it says a job interview for the fishing department, but come on guys. Try to follow the rules of the board.

wear your hat on the side of your head, sagging pants and size XXXXXL shirt with some sort of team logo, or tennis shoe brand. Also, say "word up" and "fo shizzle" alot. That way, you can play the race card and definitely get hired. It has to work...I mean, look at all of the "playas" workin' in your local wal-mart!

SHEESH! not a team shirt, go ecko. And with shoes, black airforce ones never lose. Do not say foshizzle that is snoops thing. Go with fo sho or straight up. Call ur friends brothas or dawgs. grab a DuRag and stammer on big words (over 2 syllables)

Talking

cranky, let me rap for you and if you get lost heres the translation


First things first, I poppa, freaks all the honeys

Dummies - playboy bunnies, those wantin’ money

Those the ones I like ‘cause they don’t get nathan’

But penetration, unless it smells like sanitation

Garbage, I turn like doorknobs

Heart throb, never, black and ugly as ever

However, I stay coochied down to the socks

Rings and watch filled with rocks

TRANSLATION:

As a general rule, I perform deviant sexual acts with women of all kinds, including but not limited to those with limited intellect, nude magazine models, and prostitutes. I particularly enjoy sexual encounters with the latter group as they are generally disappointed in the fact that they only receive penile intercourse and nothing more, unless of course, they douche on a consistent basis. Although I am extremely unattractive, I am able to engage in these types of sexual acts with some regularity. Perhaps my sexuality is somehow related to my fancy and expensive ..
as p n j says HOPE THAT HELPS rofl

Haha JB was that you or did 50 Cent drop by for a visit? The hiphop name was ruined by a few select people.

I just hate the ignorant (or should i be saying "Ignant") fools runnin their mouthes glorifying the ghetto, and how pimps&hoes are the newest things to be. I mean there is great rap, its just that this generation is really into this whole thugged out gangsta image. Rap could be used in much better ways, but instead it promotes drugs violence ect. The best is the "wigger". I see white kids from my town which much be like a higher middle class, and they walk around dressed all hood and talking like they have the education i had in 1st grade. Rap needs to change for the better... And all the "beefin" is tearin it apart. I mean seriously... I've battled a few kids an am sick of hearin how many girls they get or they fact that they win fights and can rip me to shreds. I bet I could write a whole damn rap about school, and make it even sound good.
Im off the... um tom what is it called? soapbox?

the two most popular and inspiration rap songs would be
Nas- I can
Changes- Tupac
And R. kelly isnt really considered Rap, But I beleive I can Fly was fantastic, and had nothing to do with pissin on girls.

tupac although he is my favorite artists, a few of his tracks are a tad detrimental, and he did contribute to the whole gangsta thing. Dr. Dre with NWA was a big movement towards gangsta rap... Just went downhill as their success soared.
As to pac being alive. Optimism is onething, reality is another. I wish he was alive, but I still enjoy his new music. As intriguing as the 777 theory and all is, It just doesn't make sense if he was still around. Check that thread about music... there was some info on it.
