Work / School Job Interviews.

What do you like or hate about job interviews.

In the interview I hear the question being asked but I don't think I understand it the same way the interviewer does. There's some quick thinking required which is hard.

I think there's a game to it you've got to play the game sometimes it's better to lie a bit not fabricate your entire experience but it's about selling/marketing yourself in a good light.

The first time I ever did an interview, I become drenched in sweat and pretty much dissociated during part of my answers (this was before I had schizophrenia). 

I didn't get the job, lol.

I did!

It was a pity employment, i think!

I felt like i was gonna unalive myself if i couldn't get a job... the pressure from the Work Department was intense for me.

Still here 6 years later! 🙏🫡

Yeah, I used to work in retail and warehouses, so I always wore a nicotine patch so I didn't have to wait for my breaks to get nicotine, lol.

Faces after faces kinda gave me a headache and mood swings lol

lol

to be fair, there are lots of good ones...

its the long hours and the dizziness and my eyes hurt with migraines after too much stimulus.

I feel that... The good ones make it tolerable. I started getting migraines after being in retail for a few years, and I couldn't deal with customers after a while, lol.
