Important Help for those Looking for a Job Downunder
Given the arguments recently, I thought I’d try and provide some important advice to help those moving downunder. There’s been a lot of questions on here recently about looking for jobs and going to interviews. To help, the following is a list of interview questions and answers you should NEVER use. If you’ve got more then please add them on.
Remember you should NOT use any of the following:

A. Well, except for the rash in my pants.
B. Are you gonna give me the f**king job or what?
C. Just get me a coffee.

A. Hairy men.
