Why do this. If you need that kind of motivation, maybe you should be flipping burgers or getting your ag dev major.


What are other things people like this do

Wash their hand before getting in the shower?
Put a condom on to masturbate?

I have to tape a picture of Laura Bush to the back of my hand when I masturbate

i put on a condom before tipping at sonic

j/k... i don't tip at sonic... but I've always wondered if i should... hmmm

I am always out in the hall or something at some other job.

Why the hell would you need to stand up and dress nicely for a phone interview that is just stupid.

macks you have yahoo mail

you have crappy electronics store mail

Brennus, standing up and dressing up nice (not in mesh shorts and tank top) for a phone interview might not be the thing to do for engineers because their not judging you for your personality, the way they think you will sound to customers/clients, or your overall attitude. You're being judged for your smarts.

if you have to dress up and stand up to come across as having a good personality you need some help as well

Or if you hve to post on an internet message board instead of dealing with the ******* customers all day (because you have people skills) -

you're probably about to have a meeting with the Bob's.

But here's the problem with what you're saying, there's research out that that shows you're more likely to be more punctual, attentive, and coherent about what is going on in a conversation if you are in that position. For folks who work with clients or customers, this is obviously needed. So even though you sit down in a face-to-face interview, if you have to do a phone interview first, you have to do what is necessary to get to that face-to-face. Whatever helps.

ok you explained standing up, what about the dressing nicely?

IF you look good, you feel good

if you feel good, you play good

maybe you. If i feel comfortable, I am comfortable. I am not as vain as the frat daddies on this site.

Well, this one I understand for an interview, but not once you've been hired. I work in a job where I do a lot of over the phone interaction. Therefore, why would I need to dress nicely to talk to my clients over the phone. Especially when they are thousands of miles away.

Again, according to the higher-ups, there is data showing that you feel more professional when you are dressed nice as opposed to jeans/short (JORTS), t-shirt, sneakers, etc. They say it makes you talk to the client in a more professional manner. I can see it during a phone interview because I'll probably be acting lazy or tired if I'm still in my mesh shorts and t-shirt. But it's hard to grasp once I've been hired. I BS with my clients all day, so why would I need to be professional?
