I've an interview for trainee Funeral Director tomorrow :) Tips/advice appreciated!

Best of luck sweetie, the other interviewees won't stand a ghost of a chance.

;)

Go in looking like you take the career seriously and you want to do this long-term. Nice suit in gray or black, white shirt. Modest pumps, not stilettos. Natural color makeup. Tatoos covered. Hair in a color found in nature (excluding Goth Black). Party-colored hair does not reflect the serious respectful tone needed in the position.

I had two friends who were funeral workers and the girl(friend) was a director. The guy is dead from smashing his harley into the back of a parked dump truck.

They were on call all hours of the day and night to collect stiffs and bring em in for refrigeration.

My ex girlfriend became a hair stylist for the funeral homes fixing dead peoples hair for showing.

I know this, they made a lot of money playing with dead people.

Mortuary / morticians is a lucrative business. The aggrieved will pay anything in remembrance of loved ones.

Example: my ma died and she wanted to be cremated. The costliest part of the burial was renting her a casket for a few hours of showing. $1300 rental fee. Total 2003 cost was over 5 grand. From what I hear, that's cheap compared to other mortuaries.

Now for the interview, kinda look like a ghoul upon arrival. You need that almost dead look but be responsive to questions and above all, polite to customers.

I've always wanted to put make-up on dead people. There is a lot of money in that business. Just dress conservatively and don't be too bubbly or smiley, more serious demeanor. Good luck, hope you get it!

You seem a bit too peppy for a funeral director.

I have zero tips, but good luck!

Hey guys,

I know this isn't exactly a conspiracy lol but tomorrow I have an interview for.......wait for it....

Trainee Funeral Director!!

I have been trying consistently for over 3 years to get into the industry, but due to being a woman, I have found it really difficult to obtain this.
Funeral home's are very careful of employing Women due to the nature of the business and any heavy lifting involved....But I am more than capable of carrying out the job at hand...I just hope the funeral director can see this tomorrow

I have completed some work experience in the field so am aware of what lies ahead of me...I think lol...
I am very passionate about helping people when they need it the most and think that I would be a fantastic funeral director in the future...

So does anybody work in the industry that could give me any tips for my interview?
Can anyone tell me of any stories they know that can prepare me for what I'm really getting myself into?

I know I'm gonna get shit off some of you for this but it will go over my head...lol....

This is the career for me, I hope lol, and would be glad of any advice...

Please pray that I'm successful....If I don't succeed tomorrow, I think I will have to call it a day on chasing my dream...

Who better than to ask than my GLP family??

Thanks in advance guys xxx
