a black eye for a interview

Post Reply New Topic

i got assaulted at lake phalen some guys were walking by as my friend and i were chillin and basically those guys walked over and hung out with us, and randomly attacked us. they leave we head home, my question is will a black eye effect a job interview? oh and should i go find them or just let it rest, i know i should get revenge, but they didn't give a fighting chance....but yeah, job interview trouble?

1) Yes, just let it rest

2) Yes, it might affect your interview, depending on what the job is and how you connect with the interviewer. If asked about it directly, say briefly that you were assaulted, but I don't recommend giving a detailed account.

wouldnt the interviewer want to knwo what happened?

Those guys were "interviewing" you to see how gullible/tough you are. You failed the interview, so they attacked you. Just FYI.

They'll probably ask you about it, so just tell them that you were assaulted (make sure they know it wasn't because you go around picking fights or something). Make sure you look smart and professional, besides the eye.

they were piss drunk if i didnt say that earlyer. and when one attacked, one of them aspecaly was confused and ran. just FYI

We get alot of idiots like that around here, hence why I usually walk around with a knife if Im heading off down the hiking trails.

fwiw, I remember my mother disguising my brother's black eye with her make-up. Acne cover-up might work well, too. Maybe ask the pharmacy? My favourite acne cover-up is Neutrogena Skin Cleaning Micro-Clear - it's a tube with a sponge tip, you dab it on. It covers more than just acne.

Good luck with your interview!

1) Let it rest, escalating it might just make the whole situation uglier.

2) Go to the interview, and when you enter the room before they start the interview, say something like, "Sorry about the black eye, I was attacked by someone." They might ask you if you're alright, or make some sympathetic sounds. Then leave it at that. If you tell them upfront in the beginning then it gets it out of the way and settles everyone down. There's no need to go into in-depth detail about what happened, just keep it succinct.

Good luck and sorry about your eye.

awsome, now im less worried lol

I'd be amused to just let it sit, and see if they bring it up. You could claim that your mother was a panda. But maybe if you want the job you should follow the advice already given.

Concealer and sunglasses. Or you could say you were saving a little old lady from muggers... or the truth to be honest.
