    No, he's yelling because once these questions need to be asked, we're all screwed!

    Yes, online all caps lok or shift caps means YELLING.

    If he's doing it because he cannot see too well, then he needs to get a bigger monitor or a larger font like i do. Im fixing to go from 24 inches to 32 in a few months with 4K believe it or not.

    ALWAYS wear skin tight leather pants. If need be, stuff a sock or two in and really flaunt it. I generally keep 4-5 buttons undone on a dress shirt. However, I don’t really have any chest hair so I don’t get the same effect. I’ll throw on a gold chain now and again to compensate. Not a bad idea to keep a spray bottle of water and get in a few mists when possible to really glisten. Employers like mojo. Show em what you’ve got.

    Going out on a limb here.... If, hypothetically, Flava Flav were a truck driver, I'd bet he'd never be late.

    You didn't mention when your interview is scheduled, Kingpin. My reply might be too late, but it's possible the suggestions could be helpful for others.
    That being said, .............

    Interviews are a two-way street. Looking well groomed is a good idea, in my opinion. But that may not be the most important aspect of the interview. Going in, you know you'll be interviewed, but take opportunity to do some interviewing of your own.

    You should at least be familiar with the company. Knowing more details gives you a chance to ask the interviewer questions and make them aware that you're more familiar with the company than the average applicant. If you can strike up a conversation as though you're already employed there it will impress most interviewers.

    When you go in, you're hoping to be hired, just like dozens of others. You need to stand out, make them remember you. When you ask them questions, --- they'll remember. Many applicants go in for an interview with that deer in the headlights state of mind.
    Relax, (as best as you can).

    Good luck and best of success.

    Well it's apparent what employers in our industry must prefer these days !
    Me ? Being pretty quick on the draw and hip I show up fashionably late ...say 20 minutes or so.
    In a ratty car that hasn't been washed in years .
    Don't shower or brush your teeth 2 days prior or wash your hands ! Smoking as much as possible ! ...an employer wants to see a hard runner !
    Proper attire depending on the season will range from sweatpants , flip flops , sandels , ratty jeans and a shirt that looks like ya greased the 5th wheel with it .
    No time for laundry gotta go !
    During the interview fire up a pall mall and offer one to the interviewer and offer to buy him or her lunch at subway .
    When the interview concludes use some charm on the receptionist as you depart .
    This works for me every time !
     
    KillingTime Thanks this.

    You seem like a cool guy. I’m guessing it’s crucial for the leather pants to be exceptionally high and tight to show confidence and coolness.

    That’s bold for sure, but acceptable in most instances.
