Job interviews

[SMOKEU]

I don't see the problem with turning up to a job interview wearing full riding gear. After all, it's for safety, not because you feel like dressing up like a clown. A potential employer shouldn't judge someone for their chosen mode of transport.

If the employer is so close minded that they refuse to give someone a job just because of that, then fuck working at that shithole anyway.

last job interview i had turned up full gear, sat helmet on the desk during the interview. they offered me the job, didnt take it though cos the pay was less than my current job.
its your transport choice, own it.

What happened, did you ride into someone?

Nah, he pulled out as I was going across the intersection, he clipped the back, denting the muffler and bending my exhaust. I didnt come off, just shunted sideways abit but kept her going. Not as bad as I had orginaly thought, just got the pry bar out and semi straightened it back up. Its useable again, went straight back out once I finished it. Needs to go to the exhaust shop anyway to get some things done to it, so its not really a major, I was just rather annoyed.

Nah, they took off. It was a silver car, and as I was on the side of the road a guy in a silver falcon stopped behind me asking if I was alright, so I start yelling at him, hes like "I didnt hit you, I was driving the other way, I saw it happen", fuck I couldnt say sorry enough. : all he wanted to do was make sure I am alright and here I am abusing him. Oh well, shes a tough old girl, that likes it rough.

My thoughts exactly.

[BuzzardNZ]

I did, but left the helmet attached to the bike ( don't think I wore my leather jacket ),so there was no indication
that I turned up on a bike.

Problem is, I got rear ended ( by a car ) at an intersection on the way home. I was a little bruised, but otherwise ok.

The GB400 was written off ( bent chassis ) and I got around $700 insurance for the bike, but the suit I was wearing was trashed and was worth $800

Oh well, I got the job!

I went for a beekeeping job for a laugh when I was 17, soaped my mohawk up to its full length put my cherry docs and bondage trousers on and my studded leather jacket. Turned up in my v6 anglia with no muffler. Worked there for 10 yrs.

You fucking tripper.

ha ha, well done guys. It turns out they were looking for someone a little different, and I had an awesome attitude they reckon. I thought my attitude sucked big time back then. If I would of turned up there all spic and span I may not have gotten a job. Another good idea, one that I use myself is find out as much as you can about the company before the interview. Worked wonders for me once when I applied for a job as a 4x4 driver(where the nick name unstuck came from) for a bunch of soil scientists, I went to the library and read as much as I could find on soil science and data logger temp units.The guy at the interview was most impressed. If you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

You fucking tripper.

Only triple dips.Dont waste my time on shit acid.

Turned up for a job as a newby dispatch rider in London in my "civi" MC gear and they gave me a cursory knowledge test, a very brief radio briefing knowing I wouldn't last the day. Survived the first week - just. Next dispatch company I turned up in sopping wet riding gear leaving a trail of water everywhere and got the job probably to get me out of the office. Last and best DR company I turned up in traffic soot grimed riding gear, grimey face and couldn't giving a fxxk attitude and they gave me a knowledge test leaving the room with me facing a dirty great map of London - Got the job. Stayed with them for years.
