Got Called Back

Post Reply New Topic

Alright, so I just got a call back from a job I applied to. I applied to the Home Depot about a week and a half ago, and got a message on my phone that they wanted me to call back to get "more information about me, my application" etc. Thing is, I was sorta surprised by this, since my application is far from spectacular. But the only problem I have is I've always had issues with interviews (as I'm sure a lot of you guys have as well). I was wondering, what would be something I can do to make the interview a little easier on me? Should I mention the Asperger's flat out, or will that narrow my chances of getting the job? What advice can you guys offer me? I'd really appreciate any, if you can.

do not tell them your aspie. go in be calm and formal yes sir no sir.

Calm is hard enough for me, haha. That's what I'm most worried about. Every time I go in for interviews, I always don't know what to answer to questions and I just end up looking stupid. That's really what I'm worried about, I can usually sort of put on an act and keep eye contact, and not be figgity, but it's hard to come up with responses to questions they ask, even simple ones like "Why do you want to work here?" "What do you like about our establishment?" etc. :/

Calm went out the window. It was apparently a phone interview, which totally threw me off guard, because I thought I'd at least have time to prepare for it. At first it was fine, she was just asking questions like if I'd be willing to work a flexible schedule, which I said yes to (helps me out) as well as working on weekends (which most people don't want to do). And that I'd be willing to start for what they said the average salary was, so that helped. But me getting nervous during the questions she asked and rambling/stammering and not knowing how to make my words come out clearly didn't really help me. Though I told her I was nervous, so I hope that she realises that and doesn't like... hold it against me.

They said they'd call back if they were interested in hiring me, so I guess I'll have to see. :/
