"What would you say your weaknesses are?"

-"You mean aside from job interviews?! "

"Hahahahaha!"

-"Hahahahaha!"

"We're done here."

[–]Demented_Hedgehog 4 points5 points ago

This is now going to be the first answer for that question everyone reading it will think of in their next job interview, you monster.

[–]Hounmlayn 0 points1 point ago

We're done here.

[–]SirFancyMcFancePants 27 points28 points ago

Please link to the website of the creator. It was quite tricky to find this one, since the search results (when searching for the source) were dominated by links to "DAMNLOL" and other websites involving caps and any abbreviation of "LOL" in the title.

Anyway, here's the source. This guy is great!

http://domics.me/post/22218098026/have-a-seat

[–]dafuqdidIwrite 5 points6 points ago

It fuckin' says DOMICS right therein the second panel!! IN A TWO PANEL COMICS!!!
But good that you linked nonetheless. Upvoted.

[–]SirFancyMcFancePants 3 points4 points ago

You're right, but that doesn't drive much deserved traffic to his website and the search terms "domics please have a seat" don't exactly lead you to his website either.

Regardless, the imgur rehost it should've a link to the source in the first place.

[–]KCintheOC 1 point2 points ago

It's on the first Page of results from Google using those exact search terms

[–]Hounmlayn -1 points0 points ago

We all know if it wasn't imgur we wouldn't have clicked it. I went to the site and read a few though. He's quite funny.

[–]PenorMcLong 0 points1 point ago

yup it would have gotten 10 views if not imgur. some people insist on being faggots about it though even though nobody cares.

[–]SirFancyMcFancePants 0 points1 point ago

The reddit post is the first result, the original site is on page 3 for me (and I'm certain it wasn't there before)

Oh google, you're so silly.

[–]UlyssesSKrunk 0 points1 point ago

First link searching "domics" is his site...

[–]tresser 9 points10 points ago

what part of the rules of this subreddit are difficult for you to understand?

Please submit a link to the original comic's site and preferably an imgur link in the comments. Do not post a link to the comic image, it must be linked to the page of the comic.

and in the 5+ hours this has been up, this imgur link has received over 2,800 views. that's 2,800 views that the artist isn't getting from any ad revenue they have in place.

edit: the tally is at 15,000+ pageviews from this link that the artist didn't get.

[–]TheRealFender 1 point2 points ago

I think he meant it shouldn't have been "quite tricky" to find it since the comic says where it is from, not that posting a comic with "domics" in the panels is proper attribution.

[–]PenorMcLong -1 points0 points ago

the tally is 15,000+ fucks that were not given

[–]RawberrySportcake 2 points3 points ago

I know the artist (he's my ex-SO, actually) and he's quite fond of Reddit. It'd be very disappointing to him and if he saw yet another person, especially from Reddit, not giving him his deserved credit.

[–]PenorMcLong 0 points1 point ago

downvoted for being a little bitch

[–]SirFancyMcFancePants -1 points0 points ago

Me too ;)

[–]umbilical_suicide 10 points11 points ago

IKEA job interview

[–]RexPunchard 2 points3 points ago

Though the candidate was James Holmes. Another useful jobhunting tip: don't be James Holmes.

[–]TheGrandWarlock 1 point2 points ago

that would be a great ice breaker if you're a funny guy.

but people like us doing that, well, it would be awkward and crippling silence would ensue.

[–]rarrrr10 1 point2 points ago

but people like us doing that

Us? Naw man! I've got an interview tomorrow and wanted to try it out...

[–]Hounmlayn 1 point2 points ago

Video or gtfo.

[–]rarrrr10 0 points1 point ago

Otay

[–]TheGrandWarlock 0 points1 point ago

well aint you precious.

so innocent...

well good luck honey, tell us how it goes.

[–]yev001 2 points3 points ago

It's hard to get a good seat on public transport...

[–]TheThingToSay 0 points1 point ago

I'd probably laugh if I were interviewing someone and they did that...and if their interview went well it would be something that would make them stand out from the rest.

[–]Hounmlayn 0 points1 point ago

"If their interview went well" Ithink is a keypoint in your comment. Don't do this unless you're 95%+ sure that you're perfect for this job which doesn't require precision and professionality.

[–]conley46 0 points1 point ago

why would you fail at interviews while you only do what the interviewee says :D

[–]OutThisLife 3 points4 points ago

No individuality is a bad sign.

[–]TheDudeAbides420 -2 points-1 points ago

Here, take this upvote for your cake.

[–]Hounmlayn 0 points1 point ago

Upvote candles.

[–]fapsters_anonymous 1 point2 points ago

Are you sure it not because of your lack of pants?

[–]Ebbing 0 points1 point ago

or maybe your lack of soul?

[–]manlord 0 points1 point ago

SIT DOWN FRANCIS!

[–]Winnson 0 points1 point ago

The bolo tie's a nice touch.

[–]SpottyGiraffe 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes I would get so nervous that I would do something stupid like this.

[–]nikto123 0 points1 point ago

When I went to an interview for a job (actually my current one), instead of shaking the HR woman's hand, I gave her the access card, because I misheard her greeting me as 'give me the card'. And no, not even in my language (slovak) does greeting sound any similar.

[–]JxSxK0420 0 points1 point ago

I should try this at my next interview.

[–]stevetwotheo -1 points0 points ago

I don't fail at job interviews. The manager just goes for the hot girl applicant.

[–]_kemot 0 points1 point ago

This made my day! It's so simple but true. You are so tense in this kind of situations and wanna make EVERYTHING right and your Brain just snaps to "do what ever they tell you to do".

[–]BillyBreen 0 points1 point ago

Seriously, can I use this chair?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]irishgeologist 1 point2 points ago

This is true. I tend to be too honest.
Like: "I want to do this job for a few years then move into a position more relevant to my degree". Learnt fast that lying is the only way to go.

[–]KYLLER085 1 point2 points ago

At least he can follow directions.

Or, a kleptomaniac at a job interview

[–]Tasty_Jesus -1 points0 points ago

Reddit = easily amused

[–]skza -4 points-3 points ago

Oh I get it he TOOK the chair instead of sitting down, now that's some hilarious shit.....ugh.
