I have a job interview Friday

[Ellen Forradalom]

For a web developer position. My Perl skills are sharp, but it's been a few years since I did web work so I'm nervous.

[GOPisEvil]

1. Good luck!

I'm sure you'll do fine! :thumbsup:

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Good luck to you forradalom.

I know nothing about web development, but it is a good field right now. And they need talented people. So many websites that I see (DU excepted, of course!!!) need work.

[TheZoo]

3. Good luck!

Just make sure that you focus on the positives, and minimize the negatives.

I also have an interview Friday for a telecom analyst position for a hospital system. They are opening 3 hospitals in the first two months next year, so I'll be (hopefully) busy.

[Ellen Forradalom]

26. Good luck to you too.

:hi:

[prolesunited]

4. Good luck and karma

to both you and TheZoo. Be positive and don't forget to send a thank you not after the interview. That will make you stand out. Let us know it goes.

[Rick Myers]

5. Knock 'em dead!!

All good karma to you!!!

And, Happy Holidays!!!

blow your nose beforehand.
wear a scarf if it is cold.
Dont point out the huge blackhead on the interviewers nose.
Smell nice
Dont smell TOO nice
Comb your hair.

Dont play with the little vender doodads on his desk that he has received from vendors the give doodads to people with desks.

Firm handshake, smile, eye contact, and listen to them. Let them do the talking first. Then, take it from there. Don't forget to send a follow-up thank you note.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Good luck!!!

You sound like you are more than prepared! Knock 'em dead!!!:hi:

[Ellen Forradalom]

21. Not sure about 'more than prepared'

I'm calling my former boss (from my previous web development job) to go over my projects so I can discuss them intelligently.

I also know someone who works at this new place, so I'm calling her to get the inside scoop on the place.

Plus I'm collecting as many well-wishes from DUers as I can.

Not much more I can do than that.

[Bunny]

22. You'll be fine!

Good luck!

[soleft]

You know you can.
