How Not to Sound Arrogant for a Job Interview

Posted by Thor on July 16th, 2008 39 Comments

So apparently this dude sent this video to UBS for a job interview and someone took the liberty to post it on the internet. I hope this dude gets to sue UBS for billions of dollars.  It’s awesome in a “I kind of feel bad for this kid because he’s going to get a spot in the internet hall of fame” way. Even if he gets billions of dollars, he will still be that guy. Guess you deserve it when you make a video like this…

    I found this really funny video the other day where there are these guys sitting around, drinking beer, and one guy is like “Wassup!” and the other guy is like “WAsssup!” and then a third guy calls on the phone and says “WAAA-SSSUP!” and it kind of goes on like that for a while.

    It’s hilarious. I’ll have to post it for you guys.

    Ooooh… I know of one where this strange kid with a really deep voice sings a song called “chocolate rain”.

    If only there were some sort of search thingy so I could find it, but AltaVista hasn’t been invented yet.

    @5 i guess you could try searching for it on Archie.

    now if I could figure out how to post some ANSI art here, that’d be something cutting edge.

    How about this? It was #1 on the German charts for a long time. There is something wrong with Germans.

    I’ll check for it on the movie bbs on The Well later tonight. Of course at 28.8, it may take three days to DL. Totally worth it.

    @12 when did you get a 28.8? i’m still on 2400 baud.

    ah, the memories of when i ran a BBS, and had the 14.4k callers all pissed at me for having a 2400 baud modem. damn elitists!

    My first “ISP” as it were, was the well (where UNCUS seems to gank a lot of its back cover articles from), but I started out at 14.4. Lite Ning Fast, bucko!

    Shen, I got that the other day from my cousin and he said that it happened to his friend in LA. I believed him. I’m an ass.

    That’s the audio equivalent Rick Rolling.

    “Rick Rolling”? That must be some new thing.

    @25: The best part is the caption underneath the picture: “This is the original tape Troy made to his girlfriend Melissa on their 6 month anniversary. She left him 3 days after.”

    This is kind of hilarious:

    An April 2008 poll by SurveyUSA estimated that at least 18 million American adults have been rickrolled.

    I’ve been rickrolled at least 10 times!

    i was thinking about getting a desk/day job so i could get paid to blog and snog around the internet all day and play at night, but i think i just lost some IQ points watching this thread, while realizing i have to sleep off not only the stupid, but also the horrified look on my face.

    /and if i got a day job, no more middle of the night scoriole postin’s to decipher.

    that wouldn’t be a bad thing.

    @28 - i’m amazed it took her three days. although it might have taken her that long to stop laughing after listening to troy’s tape.

    34: noooo! I think of scoriole like a half vampire, half ghost… like our nightstalking other half, reflecting back our day’s worth of comment nonsense with some mysterious words from across the river styx. I like waking up early and catching up on what happened in the netherworld while I slept.

    @36: thanks mc, i like to think of myself a bit more like1/2 ghost, 1/2 vampire slayer- but even Buffy had trouble keeping the lines clear.

    @34: orchid- as soon as my tech team has the decoder ring ready i’ll send one over to you.
