Group Interviews and Pheros

**Airslug429** · 02-01-2005, 10:05 AM

Does

anyone have any recommendation on what pheros to wear for a group college interview? There's going to be like one

or two interviewers and a small group (8-10) interviewees being accessed in a classroom environment.

Previous

threads suggest SOE, but in this situation, I wouldn't want my other competitors to be talking too much, stealing

the spotlight and screwing my chances of admission. Any suggestions?

BTW, I'm 20 (though I probably look like

16-17), 5' 3", small build.

Chikara with a little more

-none maybe (e.g from AE).

**Surreal** · 02-01-2005, 10:37 AM

I agree with CptKipling. -none

is needed. AE is great for this.

wagg and AE

BTW what could happen if you put

just none with a cover scent so that you wouldn't stink.?

In such an interview it is important to be dominant,

or what do you think?

I found out that in such an assessment people who talk alot and keep other guys calm have

better chances.

But in contrast to this, in some sort of interviews it might be totally wrong to be the alpha.

I don't see where being

the alpha, which means being a leader, can ever be wrong in this setting.

An interview full of colonge

.... hmmmmmmm, how does that really sound to you?

Chikara has an accepting smell, and it's good.
SOE

has an accepting smell, and it's good.
Even with the competition, the interviewer will figure it's you that has

the scent ... IF you're going to be standing/sitting in front of them while getting interviewed. IF YOU KNOW your

stuff, you should be fine ... IF, YA ASKING ME.

Last year I had a couple of

interviews, one success and one failure. I wore my standard half a gel pack of SOE with a dab of NPA... though I

seem to remember replacing the NPA with PI got my better results with some of my professors at unversity so I would

have used that if I had any PI left!

However, these days I think I would wear a tiny ammount of chikara as it

has been pretty good at getting respect from men and friendliness from women so long as I keep the dose very

small!

Usually, in these situations,

you want to be seen as mature, and well composed. PI will work well, but could intimidate other interviewees, or

result in oneupsmanship with another alpha. You definitely want to catch the attention of the interviewers, though.

Personally, I think Chikara is the way to go. Light and friendly, yet capable of garnering attention without being

overbearing, and it smells good. SOE would project friendliness, though not necessarily leadership or respect. And,

I always like to add a little WAGG to whatever. "WHAT A GREAT GUY to have at our school."

Good luck with the

interviews, friend. Be smart and concise with your answers, though not curt. If someone chimes in, allow him to,

give him the floor I guess, and then deliver a retort if necessary, just don't be dismissive. Look interested, and

look smart.

Thanks for the advice. I'll

go with a spray of Chikara to the neck and some SOE swipes to the wrists. Or is there a better way to apply them?

There might be an additional one-on-one interview, which I hope the -none won't be too overwhelming. Is it true

that smaller guys should wear some -none?

I am a smaller guy and I think no. Small person BIG

personality!!!!

Just make sure you give plenty of time for your mones to cool down before the interview.

I think the Wagg or Chikara mix

would be good. I'd supplement with APC. But you need to pay attention to your body language and how you express

yourself in the group. You don't want to be the dominant male. You want to be the most enthusiastic, interested

person.

You're there to meet the interviewer, not to muscle the other people aside. If the interview is for a

selection process, asking questions, expressing enthusiasm at the answers you give, being polite and allowing other

people to lamely answer the interviewer questions are good.

Rarely if ever should you be the first person to

speak. Leaders listen. Wannabes thrust themselves into the limelight.
