/biz/ - Business & Finance

What sector is it? Food or healthcare etc just tell them you tested positive for covid haha

>>54901066
I’m interviewing for a middle management position in the logistics industry.

>>54901080
Covid excuse could work.

The earlier you let them know more they'll appreciate it. Even just ring now and say something's come up, they most likely won't even pry.
If they do just say a family emergency.

Ring them the night before and say you're stuck due to a flight being cancelled, are we able to reschedule?

>>54901121
Does it look bad though? Like would I jeopardize my chances of getting the job by postponing? Or would it be worse for me to show up looking like I got beat up?

>>54901056
>Unfortunately, I had an accident earlier today that has left me looking less than my best and I likely will for some time
Anon, what the hell is that supposed to mean? It sound rather ominous...

>>54901159
He got beaten up by my BWC

> I had an accident earlier today that has left me looking less than my best
If you still show up, it'll make you look good. You can do it! Report back!

>>54901140
Longer you leave it the worse it looks IMO. Ringing is better than an email.

Write yourself a script if you're worried about the call.

Also share what happened I need a laugh

>>54901175
I was in a rush about an hour ago trying to get out the door. I was hopping around trying to put my socks on and rolled one of my ankles and smashed my face off my tile floor.

>>54901056
I once went to a job interview wearing a t-shirt and looking like I crawled out of a dumpster. Needless to say, I did not get the job.

>>54901232

Oof yeah desu its not even that bad, I'm in the trades and I'd just rock up to an interview with that lol.
Probably crack a joke about it.

Do you know whos interviewing you? If its a male he'll love the "should see the other guy"/

Dono where the fuck desu came from I typed desu

>>54901292
I’m just worried that it’s going to get a lot worse. I mean it’s only been an hour and it looks like I have a golf ball underneath my eyebrow. I’ve been icing it, but I’m worried it might be swollen shut pretty soon

>>54901315
Assume you've been icing it on/off for 15-20 each? Wait and see how it looks when you get up. Sleep works wonders

>>54901300
>where the fuck desu came
>I typed desu
desu I don't see the problem anon

>>54901232
jesus. Definitely don't tell them how it happened, they might think you're retarded. Tell them you and your wife got into an argument and you fell down some stairs

>>54901292
Tbh i don't see the issue desu

>>54901347
I have, but I was gone for like an hour because even though I smashed my face off the floor, I still needed to get out the door. It was during that time that I wasn’t able to ice it

>>54901347
This is swelling really fast. Should I be concerned?

>>54901515
go to the doctor dude.

>>54901592
I was thinking about going, but it’s past 10 where I live and I have a $500 co-pay for ER visits. Do you really think it’s that serious?

>>54901056
You won’t get job nigger.

t.chad that owns business and only gives people one chance to make good first impression

>>54901607
Ice it and take some anti inflammatory meds, if it’s not better in the morning, yeah go see a doctor. It will *look* worse in the morning, as in a much larger bruised area, but if the swelling doesn’t go down at all, like I said. See a doc.

>>54901642
Is it worse to show up with a black eye or is it worse to postpone until my black eye is gone?

>>54901663
Call ahead and say "I tripped over and hit my face on the wall while I was running around with my son/nephew/playing sports/whatever so my eye does look a bit messed up, just want to give a heads up because i'm really not looking my best."

>>54901686
This, your wife's son beat you up and then raped your daughter

>>54901646
I’ll definitely keep ice on it and I already took some aspirin for the pain. It’s getting pretty gnarly though. How much larger do you think the bruising is going to get?

>>54901692
I suppose these things happen

>>54901716
Just put makeup on other eye and pretend it's normal. They are trained to accept it or lose their job kek. Embrace clown world

>>54901686
So you think postponing the interview is a bad idea? It’s happening on Wednesday morning

>>54901716
Don't think it'll get much bigger, probably change colour and may even deflate over night.
Yeh some anti inflammatory would help, even aloe vera or moisturiser.

But what happens if you ask to postpone and they say sure how's the day after?

>>54901759
Just do the sports with son thing. Boomer bosses love hiring people with kids because they will be trapped

>>54901759
I think it's unnecessary, if you explain what happened and do it while having a laugh at yourself for being a bit of a klutz it will be fine. Might even get you some sympathy points, people get hurt playing with their kids and playing sports all the time.

>>54901515
>>54901607
Looks like a sub dermal heamatoma clot, are you vaxxed OP? Seek medical attention immediately you have a few hours left if untreated and you may lose the eye
T. 7 years med

>>54901763
> But what happens if you ask to postpone and they say sure how's the day after?

That’s not ideal, of course, but I bet my eye will look much better on Thursday morning than it will on Wednesday morning. Also, would sunglasses for work tomorrow be a good idea?

>>54901232
>>54901056
>>54901515
>>54901716
what the fuck is this a big pasta i swear to god i read this same exact thread last year

>>54901759
This only works if they are going to reopen the hiring process later on, if they’re looking for multiple candidates. If they’re just doing one hiring wave, with one set of interviews they’ll hire the man they’re looking for within this wave and not bother to rearrange an interview with you, they have other jobs to fill.

Just go for it and do your best …… and take ibuprofen

>>54901790
Get some concealer and look up some tutorials on how to cover up bruises if you're getting self conscious about it

>>54901780
> Looks like a sub dermal heamatoma clot
Is that not just a normal black eye? I am vaxxed although I’m not sure how it’s relevant. Are you sure it’s that serious? That’s a lot of money. Also I took aspirin. That should be just as good as ibuprofen, right?

>>54901790
Yeah and go in with a hoody up
This is some tech job right? Do this you'll be golden

>>54901790
Nah just rock it, fuck sunglasses.

Make up some excuse and stick to it.

>>54901772
I like this idea, or your neighbours/sisters kid did it.

>>54901802
Don't do this

>>54901056
lil bro gets fired without even starting his first day lmao
why don't you just do like everyone else and gamble while you try to get a job? it helps me to use things like Poolparty for extra cash, when I'm lucky ofc

>>54901852
Lol, does my face tell you that I’m a lucky enough person to try gambling? If I show up with a black eye, how badly do you think this is going to hurt my prospects of getting the job?

>>54901793
How was biz last year

>>54901829
Is the truth about how I got the shiner a bad idea?

>>54901933
Nah theyll respect ya honesty and probably even have a laugh with you.
But still the kid/sport excuse is easier and makes you seem like a normal sportball goy

>>54901971
I actually play rugby, but have never gotten a black eye from it before. I’m a big fan of playing sports, but I just kinda clumsy sometime, as my eye can tell you lol

>>54902028
You look like a fag, anon. Do you get up to mischief with the boys in the showers?

>>54902028
Just go with the sports excuse. Got it over the weekend playing rugby or whatever. Don’t delay the interview tho. If it’s middle management like you say, you could always call them and give them a heads up that you’ll be looking a little dinged up, but they’ll appreciate you being the kind of person that shows up regardless of what happened.

>>54902099
Fair enough, hopefully I don’t look too ugly on Wednesday morning. Looks like sunglasses to work tomorrow though

>>54901056
Depends on if they hqve other interesting candidates or not.

If others got the interview before you and nailed it, you might be fucked.

>>54902028
Better be fucking rugby Union

>>54901515
>>54901716
>>54902028
sorry bro but you have ligma

>>54902156
Of course, what kind of HEATHEN plays league?

>>54902167
That’s horrible news. Is there any cure?

>>54902241
Easily curable. You just gotta go talk to Yuri.

>>54901056
i interviewed one guy with heroin rotten teeths and i let him pass cause he was technically capable

>>54902591
That’s good to know although I don’t think that will be the case for me. Unfortunately, I’m interviewing for one position with other candidates and I need to stand out from the others

>>54902601
of course you keep the interview you retarded nigger.
Just say you punched some guy in rugby last week-end you make a joke about it like "I look like a boxer" at the start of the interview.
Actually it could even favor you because they'll think instinclty that you have a life, you have up & dows etc etc but you still show up. Also they will remember you way better.
Emotional intelligence

>>54902629
Do you really think it’ll work in my favor? I’m sure I’ll be the only one showing up looking like he lost a fight with Jon Jones. Given how my eye is sealed shut from the swelling now, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to see on Wednesday morning

Say you were mobbed by recruiters and headhunters on your way to the interview, but you fought them off, with only a minor flesh wound to your face to show for it, all because /this/ is the job you want.

>>54903275
Well hopefully they believe that because my black eye has only gotten worse since I went to bed. This is as far as I could open it, even when stretching my face

>>54904424
In the last 2 hours I’ve achieved the full panda look and my eye has turned really purple. This is gonna be ugly tomorrow

>>54905891
Is this a trollbread? There's no way you haven't gone to a doctor yet if this was real. I'd be shitting and pissing myself as soon as I read the medfag above saying you might go blind in that eye.

>>54901232
You total retard, I hope your face heals fast. In fairness just get an eyepatch to cover it up make some excuse about eye surgery and go to the interview.

>>54905957
No, I went this morning, I’m actually still at the urgent care right now. I was scared shitless last night. I’m waiting on my X-ray results, but the doctor was very confident that there was no damage to the actual eye itself. He does think there could be a fracture which has led to the bruising I have

hey, arent you the same indian guy who got blackeye before his dinner with the ceo?

>>54901056
>Unfortunately, I had an accident earlier today that has left me looking less than my best
KYS you cumgurgling faggot, which man talks like this?!

>>54906005
>the doctor was very confident that there was no damage
The doctor is a jew and he's lying. They've already started photoshopping the evidence when I try to make documents on my phone.

Although God might save me, I think what they're going to do is give me some retarded plastic surgery that lets them take a picture of it looking normal, and then that plastic surgery will look completely retarded in the future after they have already absolved themselves of the culpability in their crimes.

>>54901056
Alright losers I'll give you a protip.

If you have something to offer it's always good to respectfully show that you are in need/required/busy. That is called an honest signal, you are all fucking retarded and probably never heard of this thing, but that's low key stuff that shows you are a real one.

If you are needed and currently providing the services someone else wants to buy from you (or hire for this matter) to someone else, that means you care about your clients (employer) and you prioritze other stuff lower.

This alone should elevate you above 80% of the wagie fucking retards out there.
