Interview on Wed; wish me luck!
I had an interview on Friday that went terrible (got "stagefright" per se, drew a blank when I was asked questions...it was awful!?).

Now, I have an interview on Wednesday. Wish me luck, y'all!

1. Good luck!
What kind of work are you interviewing for? If you want to share.

2. Best of luck!
Try to come up with intelligent questions - interviewers love to talk about themselves.

12. I met the VP once already (they weren't ready to hire a couple of mos.
ago, but he wanted to meet me), but there have been "developments" and now they're ready to move. Morale at my current job is at an all-time low (no raises in 3 yrs., a micromanager boss who is demeaning, etc.), so I'm hoping things work out.

10. Cool
Disregard my post below. I thought you might have missed my question.

Again, good luck!

3. Best of luck to you!
The last job my husband applied for, he thought he did a terrible job on the interview and they called him the next day and offered the job! So, you never really know how Friday's went. Good luck on Wednesday too! :hi:

9. I felt like I was a deer in the headlights (walked in and there were
four people..felt like a firing squad). I completely wigged out.

11. Oh, I know that feeling
I hate those "crowd" interviews. That's actually kind of cruel to do to someone, I think. Two is the maximum for my comfort. Again, good luck! :hi:

13. Thanks, flamingyouth. I know, my first interview, too. It sucked. They
were 1/2 late interviewing me, so the waiting made me extra nervous. They must have thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown.
