i got a 2nd interview tomorrow. the head guy wants to see me (which the agency assure me is a very good sign). let's hope i don't fuck it up!

and good luck to you too! i'm sure you'll be fine. just remember: you're interviewing them just as much as they are you. fuck nerves, be positive

well DON'T!



seriously, i used to. i just sat down one time and thought it all through properly. i prepared. i thought of every question they could ask me and got answers ready. i wrote down the questions i wanted to ask them, when they ask if there's anything you want to ask them. i made notes during the interview. i did my homework on the company and looked into examples of what they did, in case they asked me (they did, i knew, i scored points). i asked them to expand on things, which showed interest. all these things promoted confidence in me, and from me.

i didn't get that job, but i know it wasn't because i gave a shit interview. far from it; i was awesome, heh. i had too much experience in one field, and not enough in another. i came out unemployed, yet triumphant. every interview i've had since then has been a piece of piss.

don't sweat it. you can do it. sounds cheesy as fuck, but you just have to believe in yourself. it's easy. go get it.

are you ready for the classic interview questions?

"what do you feel you can bring to the company?"
"why do you want this job?"
"why should we give you the job?"
"where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

you should have an answer for all those and more. write your answers down and take them with you. having notes showed you've prepared, so most interviewers will score you on that.

maybe find a way they could improve something and bring it up (as long as it's not far too cheeky/forward). that shows initiative and willing. you'll score big time.

jeez, i should write a book about this shit next

*Wishes you lots of luck**

mine was fine, and i'm just waiting to hear now. supposed to get a call today.

how did you get on?
