F**K telephone job interviews.  Probably just torpedoed my chances because: (a) I had less than 24 hours to prepare (b) I struggled to hear and understand the questions being asked on an international phone line and was unable to see the interviewer's reaction to my responses.  Next time lets just do the interview inside the "Cone of Silence" and the results will probably be less comical than what just transpired.

I'm really stinging right now.

Yeah, Paula had to do one when we were on holiday a few years ago. She told then it would be bad, but they insisted.  They postponed it 3 times, thus fucking 4 days of our holiday.  We were in middle of nowhere, Skype would not work and the phoneline was shit.  She did not get the job…....Better luck Qinhan

had one as well last year for getting the spot for my internship in switzerland…I was able to get the job but the interview really sucked imo. I somehow felt lost for whatever reason that was. I really hated not seeing the guy/girl on the other side of the line, the one you have to answer all the questions to, the face expressions after your answers were given and all in all the person you might need to spend a few months of your life working with.
I was lucky since after getting the job everyone was cool as fuck and I really enjoyed that time and that experience...

for future job interviews, I wouldn't wanna go that route again though...

We should have it set up that you need to have X amount of posts before you can sell in the B&S section..

I see where this is coming from…;)

But...Strongly backed.  New peeps should first "prove" themselves before being given the opportunity to benefit.

think my 1st post here was a sales thread, so i don't agree, but i do understand the frustration with some of the sales threads . . .

[Guest]

Then you molested that sales thread, you molested it real good 

[madmonday]

what's wrong with molest?  my first sales thread was a f^cking mess. . . to think of it not much has changed.  the forum folks are just used to me

looks like my external hard drive is fekked…with ALL of my stuff (pics, music, movies, vids, etc.) on it!

anyone ever had problems with the computer not "finding" your external though it is plugged in and running?...
IIRC it dropped on the floor the other day and now, it somehow doesn´t work anymore!

is there any chance i can get it running again?...

[Finn666]

owning this one from WD btw.!

[Seul]

I have same one… Well, a couple of those... If it's still running, I wouldn't be too worried... Try plugging it in another computer, perhaps?..

[unharmed]

Trusting all your backup to a single external drive is a recipe for disaster, mate. Personally, I would supplement it with an off-site service. I use both of these and think they're both excellent:

Definitely try it on another machine though.
