Speaker 2: You know, it can be can be very disheartening and

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: also strange, like you're putting yourself out there. And if

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: there is the added pressure of actually really wanting the job.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: I need this job. I've got to pay for X

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Y and z ed, I have a family, it can

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: be quite excruciating.

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: When did the mock job interviews at school where they

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: would prepare you for real life, they always said you

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: might get a question what's your weakness, And a good

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: answer is tell them you've got a short fuse. But

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: that's only when people don't live up to your expectations.

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: You're going to say, like, young men are my weakness?

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't say, isn't that Kate?

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Sobrano Ka Kat.

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: The other day I ran into a woman who I

21
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: did a job interview with and failed miserably at She

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: worked at Cabri Sweps, and when I was younger, I

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 3: went for this job as a salesman for Cabri Sweps,

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: where I would go out to stores and service them

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: if I needed to. And I was so excited. I

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: really wanted this job. One of the main reasons was

27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: because you got free chocolate bars. But at the end

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: I thought I did really, really well Kate. And at

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: the end she said, hey, just before you go, what's

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: your favorite chocolate bar? They had a bowl of their

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: chocolate bars in front of me in the job interview.

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: All she had to do was pick one yep.

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: And I instantly as soon as she asked it, I

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: instantly went kit Kat. She went, ah, that's Nesle.

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: Damn.

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Don't you just say classic Cadbury. I mean, I couldn't

37
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: possibly choose. Have you ever been asked to move like

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: a cow?

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: What?

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: In a job interview? That's what this story is about.

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: It's come out of the UK. But of course when

42
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: these things happened, people get online, they share their experiences

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: and the stories just keep flooding through of the weird

44
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: things that people have been asked.

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: How to do in job interviews. Thirteen twenty four ten.

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: If you've got a story for us, how could.

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: It lead to being asked to move like a cat? Well,

48
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Ask mus Fou. This was her name, she went to

50
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: a job interview for a university student ambassador.

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: Move foo now, God' not bad? You're right? Yeah? Good?

52
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: She said.

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: It was a group interview. I mean that's tough as well.

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: How do you place yourself in the group? Do you

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: try and do you try and be heard?

56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: Or do you sit back?

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: You're trying to second guess what the interview is thinking.

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: And at one point they were asked to get on

59
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: the floor, crawl around on the floor on their hands

60
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: and knees and move like a cow. Now. Apparently the

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: reason for this was that they wanted to see whether

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: people were fun. But I think it's it's like a cat.

63
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: What can I possibly make these people power play?

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't for the role of the cash cow on

65
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Channel seven.

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 3: It's also to see what you're like in a team environment.

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: That's also what happens at our No Christmas party after those.

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Cookies come out.

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: It's a lot of people that.

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: It was a blow up horse, not a cow guy.

71
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: Did you as a blow up? Where do you? How

72
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: do you google for wow? Did you get that costume?

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: No?

74
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: I think it was like a costume box or something

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: or snack the frog or something. And then it was

76
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Darryl braith I was Daryl Braithwaite's horse, So yeah, it was.

77
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: It was a weird. Now you got the job, Thank you. Guys. Know,

78
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I did a job.

Speaker 2: Did I do an interview for this job?

80
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: What was my How did I get this job? But

Speaker 3: down with KF o Connor, she was our CEO.

86
