Did anyone take a shot of whiskey or vodka before they walked into the interview?

yea that's what i was thinking...i was actually wondering if this thread was a joke. An interview, although nerve-wracking is nothing in the grand scheme of things. if one needs a shot for an interview, what about for more important life issues?Revolution #9 said:Take a shot? Why, so you can stink of liquor and turn red? No thanks.

Fusion said:Actually, on second thought, yes - please do take the shot. As soon as the interviewer smells alcohol on your breath, your rejection letter will be signed, sealed and delivered faster than you can say "bottom's up."![]()
Come on, help me get off these waitlists!

now the gunners come out. 👍
but seriously what are people thinking? how would it go over on an interview to have alcohol on your breath?
Ross434 said:I dont think the interviewers are going to be sitting that close to you. And its not like you're going to be drunk. I dont think it would hurt applicants as much as they think. I mean, it'd be really detrimental for some, but, other interviewers might not even care.
Fusion said:I absolutely, wholeheartedly agree! Everyone should carry a three ounce flask of Grey Goose in their pockets. It's smooth and goes down easy - won't make your face pucker up like some of the cheap stuff. Take a swig right before you walk into your interviewer's office, and you'll be feeling good in no time.
Is it time to clock out yet? I can't wait for happy hour tonight.

at least someone gets the joke.
Ross434 said:3 Ounces is a bit much for an interview, you think? Is gray goose 80 or 100 proof? I dont drink much vodka.
Ross434 said:An interview is a time where you have one chance, and one chance only, to be completely smooth and outgoing in about 30 minutes. This is not the same as doing surgery or dealing with your life issues.

NPursuit said:Why not just offer your interviewer one, too?
Seriously, do it with some class. Get some good Scotch or Irish whiskey and bring a pair of tumbler glasses in on a drink tray, preferably dark hardwood.
Make sure you pour your interviewer's glass first. Maybe bring a little bucket of ice with you.
Just walk in and don't alter the wording a bit: "Care for a drink, Dr. Zigglebutt?" Well, aside from the name of you interviewer.
Talk about upstaging all of your competition. I predict great success with this method.

DianaLynne said:Speaking of movie references, this thread reminds me of this one from Michael Keaton's early oeuvre:
Michael Keaton: "Hey, you wanna beer?"
2nd Guy: "It's 7:30 in the morning!"
MK: (pause) "Scotch?"

favorite drinking quote: "I drink to make other people interesting.." That said, there were a number of occasions in hindsight where I coulda used a shot or two before my interviews!
