Just got back from a job interview and I think it went pretty well. I want to stay on their radar without appearing too desperate, do you have any good tips? - Abigail (Gromore, WA)
List Generated:
-Send over a nice basket of kittens with a card thanking them for considering you for the job.
-Make polite follow up calls once a week for two years whether the position has been filled or not.
-Photoshop yourself onto the cover of Time Magazine with the headline "Your Future Employee!" and slip it into your prospective employer's mail.
-If it's been over a month and you still haven't been given an answer, stand outside of the office building on a rainy night screaming "COWARDS!" School Ties style.
-Follow the person who interviewed you around for a couple of days and "coincidentally" bump into them several times. They'll think it's a sign to hire you.
-Casually mention to the company's receptionist that there is a bidding war heating up over you.
-If you find out you didn't get the job, it's never a bad idea to have your mother put in one last call on your behalf.
-Interview for the job with as many of your alter egos as possible. It's a numbers game.
-Always send a "You're Welcome" note.
