I have my first real job interview tomorrow
and I'm a little nervous. :scared: I know some people here are going through some really tough stuff right now and this isn't quite as important, but all the same I'd appreciate it if y'all could spare a few of those famous Lounge Vibes. :hi: Thanks!

7. My advice: don't be packing any aluminum-wrapped veggies, if you know what I mean.
Good luck!

13. If you feel still feel nervous tomorrow before the interview, try having a few drinks before going
Edited on Tue Jul-08-08 11:40 AM by SurfingAtWork
That is always a good anxiety eraser.

14. Advice and vibes....
1) Be yourself.

2) A lot of eye contact, without staring.

3) Frequent smiles.

4) Make the interviewer envision you as someone he/she would like to work with. If you have the qualifications, then this really becomes the only hurdle.

5) Show confidence without being overbearing.

Best of luck! :hug:

:hug: You guys (and gals) are awesome, and I really appreciate your encouragement and support. :loveya: I just got back from the interview and I think it went OK, but I won't know for sure for at least another week or two.
