4. Try not to swear
dropping an 'f' or 's' bomb can be a real deal breaker, trust me.

8. Of course I wish you luck
I you get the job, and the job is what you want.

My story in a nutshell: Applied for a job in November that sounded like my dream job. Went in for interview and they loved me and asured me I'd be coming back for the next interview. Didn't hear from them for about three weeks, then got a call asking me to come in ASAP for the second interview where I was hired on the spot.

Come to find out they had hired someone else who only lasted 2 days. The job description was a bait-and-switch with a fancy title to get someone experienced to come in and do grunt work under constant supervision. The supervisor and her boss were arguing constantly, loudly, and stupidly. I lasted a week, and that was only because I wanted a weeks worth of salary before I quit. Their arguing burnt me out by the second day.

Hopefully your experience will be better!

10. Try to be relaxed, hard I know....
When I went on the second interview for the job I have now, I had just decided that if I didn't get hired I would spend at least a week in bed with ice cream and movies :thumbsup:

Therefore I was more laid back, and found myself asking questions out of personal curiosity rather than forced interest...and she hired me so I guess it worked.

Good luck. Good good luck.

14. Know your shit.
It's not an employees market anymore and competition is tough. Know as much as you can about the company, their strategery :) competitors, etc. And don't pick your nose. Best of luck!!!!!

15. Good luck.
Go in with confidence, even if you don't have it. They can see it in your eyes--show them that you're on top of your game. Make them sell themselves to you more than you selling yourselves to them.

30. Interview went great!
It went very well.

This is the same company I worked at in the past, different department, but one that worked closely with mine. I knew the interviewer from working there before. He is a very quiet guy, but today he was friendly and animated. It was an easy conversation, as I already knew a lot about the position and the company. I left feeling great about it!

They have a couple more interviews, so I wont know anything for a while- maybe more than a week.

Thanks for all the good thoughts!

25. Relax. You're going to do fine.
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 09:09 AM by katinmn
If you have someone who can do a mock interview with you, take advantage of it.


edit: oops. Just saw this thread was started yesterday! I'm sure you've done your homework.
