The reason I make this thread is to clarify between using A314 and IG. Yes, I did run a search and yes, I have read the sticky above.
So, I’ll be appearing in a job interview for a technical position (computers - ya, I’m Indian ), and was looking for pointers to make it a grand success!
The interview I’m told can last 5 hours starting maybe at 10 AM.
Location - Austin, Texas mid November
I am 24, Indian.
Since, this is an entry level position, I am doubtful about the A314.
I’ll be using IH. Or should it be IO?
I think IS is pretty much unanimously agreed upon.
A314 because it would last longer, but go light..maybe a single drop. The IH and IS should buffer it nicely and keep it from seeming too overbearing. IH is choice over IO for this type of situation as IO can sometimes seem flighty and frivolous where as IH enhances the trust aspects of A314.
I’d also apply the shine first and apply the oil based A314 over the application points. Shine is great but wears off fast, hopefully the oils in A314 might slow the diffusion a little and help it last longer.
SOE (mainly anol) is also oil based and is a perfect combo with A314: helps mellow the nasty edge of A314 and add a little friendly vibe). Because of the oil carrier, SOE will last about as long as A314. I use the combo nearly everyday at work. Sometimes I zap it with a little TAA for a meeting but that stuff needs renewal every hour, so I reserve it for special events only.
dude, get IG + IH. A314 would make you seem like a punk; you don’t even have the job yet you act liek you are the man? That sounds stupid to me. Go with 1xIG + 2xIH. After 4 hours, go spray the same ratio again. A314 + scent of eros <<< IG + IH
I say this, because some people do get offended how you come to the interview thinking you are the man/sh*t , the ultimate, james bond.
IG is a bit safer and friendlier without losing much in the respect department
I’m going to repeat my recommendation. And outline other reputable users as well, including Gegogi who is a longtime user, that A314 would be the best bet for you.
Beta personalities typically will only think you’re a punk, I wouldn’t even worry about it. Go with the A314
A314 right under your nose? lol.
IG or A314 pretty much does the same thing anyway. Go with what feels right for you. IG is faster hitting, better diffusion, and a bit more gentle and suave than A314. also, you don’t lose respectability and high-value factors that also come with A314
