Help /g/
I have an impromtu phone interview today for a new web dev job and I'm afraid I'll spaghetti all over the place. Any advice?

Have the correct mindset. Assume you are talking to a friend, and don't be afraid to laugh about yourself. You'll seem much more relatable and won't be as nervous.
Bonus info: I'll be doing mainly JavaScript dev

That's actually really comforting advice, thanks!

don't sweat it, be yourself, be a tad bit awkward
if you're applying for an IT position then the interviewer most likely won't care, and if he's a dick about it, you don't want to be working for him anyway
chances are he just wants a competent worker

Just be yourself :)
Define yourself as a "10xer"

>JavaScript dev
You mean JavaScript jujitsu? Don't use boring words, no startup will hire you! Be creative. You're a JS Ninja throwing deadly shuriken functions() - much higher chance to be hired if you talk about yourself in this way

Having a few drinks before the interview usually works for me

Actually just had a phone interview yesterday.
Make sure you are prepared.
>Research the company.
>Research the person calling you for interview.
>Be prepared to answer questions like "Why do you want to work here? What are your strengths/weaknesses?Tell me about your previous work experience. What do you do in your spare time, any hobbies/ interests?
It's okay to be and sound nervous so long as you can get across all your info to the other person.
Also have a cheat sheet of your resume and answers to questions written out in front of you.
If you really think you'll spill your spaghetti take 2 shots of vodka, smoke half a cigarette or invest in phenibut.
Drink a shot of Jager beforehand

(You)
Practice breath control and always remain more calm than the interviewer. Do not act like this is the only position you can get. Act like you have a shit ton of interviews lined up right now. Do not be a bitch.
just bee yourself
I kill adrenaline by doing squats or pushing my hands together as hard as I can.
Also, go somewhere private and stretch arms and legs as far out as you can. Taking up as much space as possible makes you feel more confident and comfortable. Fake it til you make it, faggot.
Have water handy so they don't hear your dry mouth snaking when you speak. Most awkward shit ever.

You'll be fine. Just don't spill the spaghetti.
