I have an INTERVIEW tomorrow...I'm FREAKIN! advice please! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Thorsmomma · 02-06-2007, 05:23 PM

OMG!

The first place that I submitted my resume to call me!!! It's just a job, not what I want to do for the rest of my life, but still!!! This is really my first interview. Somehow I've gotten away without 'real' interviews before unless you count the one at Applebee's!

PLEASE give me tips!

He told me to look at his website and ask some 'intelligent questions' about the company at the interview tomorrow. Ladies (and men too), I'm FREAKIN!

I really would love this job!

**Plus, Thor's new doggy day care is on the way!

Ps, I sweat and say stupid things when I get nervous!

Sadie's Mom · 02-06-2007, 05:40 PM

Good luck! Interviews have never been my strong point, so I can't really give any great advice, but I hope you get the job!

Thorsmomma · 02-06-2007, 06:06 PM

Thanks for the good luck. I'll need it for sure!

I was thinking, maybe a few drinks before would help...JK then I would need to go to an AA meeting afterwards...

Txgurl06 · 02-06-2007, 06:17 PM

Be confident , look straight in their eyes so they know your not lieing ,sit up straight, talk clear, dress nice, have good hair, smile! if you dont have experience and they are willing to train tell them you are moldable so they can train you the way they like, if you have and need experience then tell them you are well experienced. Your honest, Reliable, A good people person, enthusiastic, fast learner! Just give you a chance so you can prove it! blah blah blah lol!

Wow, now that is suckin up!!!

"dear mr.,
Thank you so much for making me lose sleep last night. Thank you for making my scrub my armpits extra hard this morning so i didn't sweat too much during the interview. Thanks for..."

eeeek, i'm nervous.

Grayson's mom · 02-06-2007, 06:57 PM

More so like Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with me blah blah blah

Your verison is funny too!!! lol

Tiggerwit · 02-06-2007, 07:04 PM

Review the site like he said and come up with about 3 questions to ask them. Bring a couple of hard copies of your resume. Go on line and look interview stuff up, I did, it will give you some ideas on how to conduct yourself and what to expect. Always send a thank you letter, this last job I have there was a group interview and I sent each one an individual personalized thank you. Dress in neutral colors. Arrive at least 10 minutes early.

Most of all, take a deep breath and relax. You'll do fine, just be yourself.

Txgurl06 · 02-06-2007, 07:10 PM

and i they tell you that they will call you. then call them back like the next day or the next to see if the position has been filled and it shows them that you are really interested in taking the job! act professional not desprite tho

Good tips! Just don't come accross as desprate and don't get too chatty!
Take some Rescue Remedy before your interview to keep you calm.

I don't mind inteviews so much as filling out those UGH! Applications!!!

Make sure you check YES under have you ever been convicted of a Feloney! That'll get their attention! - NOT! Just joking!

Most important of all.... Don't Pull A CHANDLER!
