Penchant Lama Reveals Top 6 Interview Tips

Greensboro, NC

After securing a serving position at McDonald’s and subsequently being promoted to lead greeter, Penchant Lama has released his top 6 interview tips. Penchant Lama would like to credit his mother on Mimjellia, Mama Lama, for a few of these tips.
(Note: Penchant offers no advice for how to keep a job; in fact, he was fired from his five previous jobs.)

1. Don't eat because of your nerves or gorge yourself prior to your interview because you might stink up the place.

2. If you don’t know the answer, say, “I’m not comfortable with that question.” For example, if the interviewer asks, “do you have any previous experience in the food industry,” simply say, “I’m not comfortable with that question.”

3. Wear your church clothes on your interview, even if you don’t go to church.

4. Instead of focusing on your answers during the interview, be thinking of a compliment you can give the person interviewing you. You can give anyone a compliment, even if they are as ugly as a dog! People love compliments, and the right one will land you the job.

5. Embrace at the end of your interview, and say, “Thanks for your time, energy, and effort.” TE2…That TE squared.

6. Instead of a resume, bring an original piece of art for the house of the person
interviewing you. College posters with profanity and not a good idea.

Penchant expects to be contacted by Stephen Covey with a "career tips" book project collaboration request in the near future. Penchant says he will offer Mr. Covery 5%of the profits for his name recognition power. Penchant will take 95% for directing the content.
