So I just finished up a job interview. They asked me about my experiences managing financial resources.
First thing that came to mind was Ozbargain… and… before I could stop myself… there I was boasting about the top deals and my (platinum, of course) membership…
So, will I get the job?
Self employed OzB commentator? Like most of us?
Education 😂 Went as well as one could expect for a 11:30pm interview (Sweden time!). I guess I was hoping for common ground and a bit of a laugh 😅
Not sure what managing financial resources has to do with being a fluffer, but I reckon you're a shoo-in.
I reckon you're a shoo-in.
Yes, thanks! This is the kind of unsubstantiated (expert opinion) encouragement I needed!
What did their faces say?
Edit:
Based on the wording "financial resources", approaching it from just the point of view of 'spending' does not quite cover it. Obviously dependent on the industry but did you touch on debt leverage, economic or business risk around keeping old equipment vs buying new, cash flow management, etc.?
They were confused and concerned 😂
Did you tell them how many times a day you refresh the front page?
and how fast your finger speed is when checking out a bargain
please tell me the job was for HN
Nah, too low end for me. I'm aiming higher - Crazy Clarks - their new international strategic resources manager/brand mascot.
Do you prefer viewing front page or deals page?
Do you find yourself unable to resist commenting on the posts of alt right regulars?
Do you submit deals?
In Sweden?
Yah. Dis in Sveeeeden.
Nah, coming back to Aus, potentially! You get both of my extra Ozbargain platinum upvotes for knowing I was in Sweden!

Did they give you the secret handshake at the end?
No, but I did blink (in morse code) a link to my user profile.
I've tried this before. They just look at you like you're a loser.
Jokes on them, they don’t get the thrill of staying up late on a Saturday night trying to get free kayo and having it taken away from them the next day.
Who’s the Loser now! …

If I was interviewing someone and they mentioned Ozbargain in the interview I would be torn between helping out a fellow OB family member but also knowing they would spend more time on OB than doing actual work. What a dilemma!
But no job offer from you means one less deal poster due to no money! Take one for the team..
Ok you got the job, you start on Monday!
I think all interviews should have some element of light heartedness.
Shows a human side rather than some robot that gives Top 3 google answers to questions.
hook a brother up with that platinum membership.
So … Did you get the job or they had no appreciation?
I got the job! It worked! Ozbargain is the secret sauce!
congrats, hope you love it!
LOL! What's industry is the job you applied for? (And how did the rest of the interview go?)
