:p

I've already had a pop at Screechapova on the Wimbledon thread. A while ago, I thought umpires were under instruction to clamp down on this, but apparently not :(

Way back in time, Jimmy Connors used to be a "grunter" - quite loud at that. John McEnroe was getting increasingly pissed at it all, and started mimicking him with his own little squeals and grunts. Connors took little notice and carried right on. McEnroe's grunts got louder and louder, the crowd picked up on it and started cheering. Connors finally twigged, and we ended up with a rally of comedy yells and groans. Even the umpire was forced to break out into a laugh.

And Connors grunted on. Tennis used to be FUN back then. :)

People who end the call one nano second after they deem the call to have ended so they say 'goodbye' and then you say 'Goo.... (terminated by a loud crackle down the earpiece). Works best when dialling someone in your admin office or company that wants to make a point of how unimportant your call was to them.

As I walk into the kitchen, out of the corner of my eye I see the box crumpled up in the bin. I'm absolutely furious, but there's no one here in my apartment to blame. And I'm far too lazy to put some shoes on and buy more dinner. And now I've got no food to eat as I flick between the Ashes, State of Origin, Yohan Cabaye thread and an essay for uni.

Sorry, i've been doing a few interviews recently and have the STAR technique firmly in my head. Have you heard of the STAR technique? It's quite simple...

Step 1 – Situation or Task

Describe the situation that you were confronted with or the task that needed to be accomplished. With the STAR approach you need to set the context. Make it concise and informative, concentrating solely on what is useful to the story. For example, if the question is asking you to describe a situation where you had to deal with a difficult person, explain how you came to meet that person and why they were being difficult. If the question is asking for an example of teamwork, explain the task that you had to undertake as a team.

Step 2 – Action

This is the most important section of the STAR approach as it is where you will need to demonstrate and highlight the skills and personal attributes that the question is testing. Now that you have set the context of your story, you need to explain what you did. In doing so, you will need to remember the following:
Be personal, i.e. talk about you, not the rest of the team.
Go into some detail. Do not assume that they will guess what you mean.
Steer clear of technical information, unless it is crucial to your story.
Explain what you did, how you did it, and why you did it.
What you did and how you did it
The interviewers will want to know how you reacted to the situation. This is where you can start selling some important skills. For example, you may want to describe how you used the team to achieve a particular objective and how you used your communication skills to keep everyone updated on progress etc.
Why you did it
For example; when discussing a situation where you had to deal with conflict, many candidates would simply say: “I told my colleague to calm down and explained to him what the problem was”. However, it would not provide a good idea of what drove you to act in this manner. How did you ask him to calm down? How did you explain the nature of the problem? By highlighting the reasons behind your action, you would make a greater impact. For example:
“I could sense that my colleague was irritated and I asked him gently to tell me what he felt the problem was. By allowing him to vent his feelings and his anger, I gave him the opportunity to calm down. I then explained to him my own point of view on the matter, emphasising how important it was that we found a solution that suited us both."
This revised answer helps the interviewers understand what drove your actions and reinforces the feeling that you are calculating the consequences of your actions, thus retaining full control of the situation. It provides much more information about you as an individual and is another reason why the STAR approach is so useful.

Step 3 – Result

Explain what happened eventually – how it all ended. Also, use the opportunity to describe what you accomplished and what you learnt in that situation. This helps you make the answer personal and enables you to highlight further skills.
This is probably the most crucial part of your answer. Interviewers want to know that you are using a variety of generic skills in order to achieve your objectives. Therefore you must be able to demonstrate in your answer that you are taking specific actions because you are trying to achieve a specific objective and not simply by chance.

It's the old question. Should you be allowed to murder a burglar and Chelsea supporters in your own house?

tasty_snacks 09-07-2015 08:29 PM

Call centres.

Specifically, the part where they say, "can I ask you some security questions........are you the account holder?"

That'll deter the crooks, won't it?

And it gets worse. When I call up to discuss my wife's car insurance policy, which I bought online, and for which I'm a named driver, they ask to speak to my wife. Even though I know all the details. Passing the phone over to a woman so she can confirm that I can speak on her behalf achieves what, exactly? And what if I'm the woman, and I have a deep voice, or I'm mute, or have cancer of the larynx? It's a completely ******* senseless policy, rolled out by one moron years ago, who's practices have since been adopted by subsequent morons. Nobody has bothered to consider whether it makes any sense.

I have to call the car insurance people later this week to change my car. When they ask to speak to a woman, I'm going to tell them that I am one, at the moment, but I'm midway through by sex change. Let's see how they react to that.

One of my most disliked phrases.

Specifically, the part where they say, "can I ask you some security questions........are you the account holder?"

That'll deter the crooks, won't it?

And it gets worse. When I call up to discuss my wife's car insurance policy, which I bought online, and for which I'm a named driver, they ask to speak to my wife. Even though I know all the details. Passing the phone over to a woman so she can confirm that I can speak on her behalf achieves what, exactly? And what if I'm the woman, and I have a deep voice, or I'm mute, or have cancer of the larynx?

People giving me dirties for eating my dinner on the train esp those who I've had to ask to move their bags for a seat.
Do they really think I would be in work clothes at this time of night completely sober out of any reason than absolute necessity. I got in at 8.15 and have barely stoped for 13 hours so f**k you if my burger king chicken premium smells

You've admitted you've just robbed me, why should I come back?! All that shit should just work automatically off the nectar card anyway so I don't have to stand behind some wanker who spends two minutes finding his 10 extra nectar points against his value fish fingers coupon :veryangry:veryangry:

I wouldn't mind if the coupons could be used online - we do all our shopping online & get vouchers every week for either extra points or money off, but can we use any of them? Can we bollocks!

Right click the back button. It brings a drop down menu and you can select the page you want and it will take you to it.
