Drop shots like it’s hot
Jagermeister into a half-filled
glass of Rockstar, Redbull or any
other favored energy drink.
There is a pretty cool tech­
nique for throwing in a little bar-
tending flair (if that is your thing)
called a Jager-Train. This trick is
pretty awesome to watch when
done properly. First, you place
several pint glasses side by side,
half-filled with whatever liquid
you plan to drop your shot into.
You then place an empty glass

I “If you’re well groomed, it makes a good

The number one rule for finding a job in

fear slacks and a polo shirt or blouse. Of
tourse you can’t always one up your poten-
lial future co-workers; if they wear suits it’s
fest not to wear a tuxedo.
Eric Hensel, a prospective Clackamas
fommunity College student, said that arriv-
I ng on time to a job interview is crucial to
I taking a good impression. “... You show
■ ip on time and you’re ready to go, and (this
I fay) they aren’t waiting on you to do the

I When you are sitting in a room with one

that cockiness is a good way to get a job
id «cause it’s not, unless you are trying to be
a hot shot bartender in a Las Vegas casino.
Managers like confidence but frown on
people who try to show off or look cooler
than they are.
Like going on a first date, it is best
to not bring up bad experiences with ex­
boyfriends or girlfriends. In the case of past
jobs, no one wants to hear you be negative
about things. If something is brought up
that was a negative experience, try and put
a positive spin on the situation.
Do your research. “(Employers) can nor­
mally tell if you don’t know what you
are talking about,” said Mike Amodeo, a
Clackamas student.
Make eye contact and be calm.“You
don’t want someone who is all fidgety,” said
student Emily Streight. A relaxed personal-
ity is a major aspect of interviewing.
>T)on’t forget to bring an additional copy
of your resume, and when your interview
is (over, remember to thank them for their

Last, with as many people as there are
competing for the same job in this market, it
is always a good idea to stay ever-present in
the manager’s mind. One classic technique
is to send a thank you note to the manager
or owner of the company you applied with.
■ Don’t make it cutesy and cover it with
paper-Mache hearts and bunnies, just a
simple note thanking them for the interview
will do. This will remind them of the great
interview they had with you. Also don’t be
afraid to call and check in on the job you
were going after.
