Taking pre workout before an interview a good idea?

Trying not to spill spaghetti here.
>>
Don't
I tried it, I was sweating uncontrollably
Wearing a long sleeved dress shirt, with a suit, silk tie, tight pants, and face full of sweat.
Luckily I was friends with the people interviewing me, and I went to the gym after and had a work out

Look each person in there eyes for a solid second, one by one, before the interview starts. Have an air of confidence about you and be knowledgeable enough to talk of the company and the skills you are being interviewed for. It will also help to be aware of news developments in the field, and you can ask them if the company plans to incorporate any of the stuff. In fact, after you introduce yourself and do the song and dance routine of maybe answering a few problems, you want to flip the script and make it seem like youre interviewing them.

Take control of that room and let them know that they aren't trying to see if you're any good. You're trying to see if they're any good.

Employers have better things to do than read thank you notes from unsuccessful applicants

>>37650650

do a power pose for 2 minutes beforehand. i know its tedx bullshit but it does lower cortisol and raise testosterone (temporarily)
>>
>>37651188
I've never done that and I've never heard of anyone doing that. That poster just sounds like someone begging for a job instead of showing why they deserve it.

Maybe its dependent on field but in IT, academia, and health its been one of the things that's gotten me the job. I've worked as an IT specialist, Academic advisor, Resident Advisor, Programmer, research lab manager, and Research analyst. Every single time they have commented that that was one of the things that made me stand out. It was extremely common place back in the day and the older generation really really appreciates the sentiment. It doesn't come across as you begging for the position, it comes across as you being proactive and detail oriented.

Like I said, it might be dependent on your field, but anyone who says this is bullshit in these fields is clearly just some spoiled undergraduate who will be whining they don't have a job 2 years after graduation.

I think at best it's probably fields related. I'm in civil engineering and never hard of that happening in my industry at all. I also got kinda scared cause I thought that be the reason why I'm not getting a job, kek.

>>37651838
Can't hurt to try anon. Give them a call or email or letter a day or 2 after the interview and see what's happens
>>
>>37652019
Yeah I've been thinking. I just don't want look like that desperate loser or someone unattractive (in respect to jobs). I already give the companiesa call a few weeks or a month after I apply if I don't get any response but that hasn't helped much.

Did you also find it tough getting your first job? I think the lack of experience is a big problem that graduate engineers in Australia are facing.

>>37652172
I didn't have too hard a time getting my first job after uni. Like I mentioned though, I'm not in civil engineering. Here in the states I know a lot of people complaining of the same thing in engineering. Good luck bro!

Thank you letters are pretty much standard for non autistic high paying white collar jobs. Apply for a sales position, marketing, management etc send one. Apply as an engineer or software developer maybe not.

You should always do an internship in uni so you have experience. I'm a mechanical engineering and all my engineering friends in all fields who interned had a job within 2 months of graduation. Some who did not intern never got a job in their field of study and this was before the recession hit.

>>37652341
I did 12 weeks of work experience before I graduated. It was also compulsory to do it.
>>
>>37652605
Best advice I can give is move to where the jobs are if you can't find them where you live.
>>
I'm back lads spilled spaghetti all over the entire interview. Neet for life
