    Have porno BLARING in the background. Interupt the interview every now and then saying that you need to get more hand cream.

    Good luck! I think phone interviews are awesome. Much better then putting so much time into a face to face if the job isn't right from the get go. My husband has a phone interview tomorrow. He's nervous, but it allows him to write down key things he wants to make sure he hits on, and not forget them, which he probably would if he was nervous face to face.

    I hope you get the job if you like it!!!

    the lady starts out asking me questions about my employment history history...

    i ask her why she is asking these questions because she has had a copy of my application for 2 weeks...."Havent you already done a background check??"

    "well we like to make sure the application matches what you have to say on the phone"

    "well its for a truck driving position....dont you have a copy of my DAC report"
    (which is basically what a credit report is to a consumer) all truckers have one and all employers can get a truck drivers work history in a matter of minutes).....

    "we have your DAC report but again we want to see if what you say over the phone matches that do"

    "so basically you want to see if i am a liar????"

    "well ........yes".........

    and thats when i FLIPPED OUT....

    after a couple minutes back and forth with this lady is when i started laughing at her and told her to fuck off........
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
