It really hurts me when you say things like that Nebs. :cry:

No need to point out my crippling social awkwardness.


EDIT: And three days until Nebs is unbanned.

^^Aw, do I spot a fellow introvert? Or just an Honours student about to submit their thesis?

Haha thanks :) Any extra tips for phone interviews? I've never had one before so I'm extremely nervous. I'm terrible at talking on the phone, and really need to get over it asap. Good luck to you too for your interviews!
I worked in a call centre for 3 years and found that acting like a salesperson in the interview (by my standards, you're selling yourself remember) worked really well. I would be really friendly and always talk about what I can give them as a grad/intern.

Best ways are to be really friendly and take it slowly, dont rush at all.

So far my 3 phone interviews this sem have been in:

Malaysia
Redfern Station
In a lab at uni

!

I am an introvert, so it's hard but you learn eventually.

No. I suspect our social and psychological problems could be solved by some warm friendship.

how did you last in a call centre for 3 years. seriously, how. i couldn't bring myself to do it over 8 weeks
Because the company was good and let me do whatever I wanted to do. I did business analysis projects, marketing stuff, got to go out with distribution etc.

I worked part time and full time in uni breaks.
