Well guys, please wish me luck.
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 09:21 PM by crim son
I have that job interview tomorrow and though I'm not expecting to get the job, I am unnaturally terrified about the interview. Hysterical, you might say. I really hate rejection and am not used to it, having been at home as a mother for all these years i.e. I take it personally though I ought not. Anyhow, I've lighted my candles, will play a couple rounds of solitaire and then will go to bed to get some sleep.

It's really stupid, but could you send vibes? Not "get the job" vibes, but "please don't let lisa pee her pants" vibes. Thank you.

On edit: I'm going to bed now. Thank you everybody. :hug: :loveya:

4. Thanks, bi_baby.
I really suck at this sort of thing. Maybe there'll be a miracle though. (Is it a bad sign that I just spelled that "mirackle"? Crap)

3. ...
(((vibes)))

You will NOT pee your pants :rofl:

This is good practice for you - it is always unnerving at the beginning, most of the time they get better after the first couple of minutes.

10. Forget all the bullshit that you hear about interviews...
Here is all you need to remember...

1) Dress appropriately

2) Be yourself.

3) Look the person in the eye and smile.

4) Relax

5) Have a calm, but confident manner.

6) Don't try to bullshit them. If you don't know something, say you don't know.

7) Do not downplay your skills

Good luck crim son...you will do great! :hug:

17. I'm going down your list, I'm checking it twice.
It's the "calm and confident manner" that will cause me trouble. Thank you, philboy. I'm gonna try.

12. Hey, just put it into perspective: You know what's the worst thing that can happen,
don't you?

You don't get that particular job. That's the worst possible outcome.

And not getting one specific job? Will that kill you, or scar you for life? I doubt it.

Relax, OK? Remember: Have perspective.

19. You will be okay
I'm really sensitive and shy too. You need to trust that you are intelligent and confident in your abilities. Hold your head up and speak with purpose in your voice. I've done that even though it feels foreign but it worked. Over time a certain confidence has become part of me. You can do it!
Good luck and good vibes to you!

24. Not stupid at all Crimmy
It took all I had just to offer to volunteer at a place following a few years out of the work force. Now I go to the same place 3-4 times a week. I look back at how freaked out I was with a smile.

Don't pee yer pants, mmmk? :hug:

You'll be ok. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow. I'll be visiting my daughter and munkee if that helps :)

You rawk!

25. Here's the secret.
"Focus on what you want, not on what you do not want."

I know, it sounds simple and academic and almost foolish, but you have to:

1). Want it

2). FEEL it

3). Refuse to focus on anything other than GETTING it

See, you've already figured it out:

could you send vibes? Not "get the job" vibes, but "please don't let lisa pee her pants" vibes.


Ever heard of Zig Ziglar? He's the sales guru, who has also written extensively on the subject of goals. He encourages people to write out their goals, and at the bottom of the page, write:

"This or something BETTER."



So go into this interview like you are the answer to this company's prayers. If they GET it, they get YOU.

Make them GET it. Make them see what kind of mistake they'd be making if they didn't hire YOU.

Be enthusiastic, be strong, be confident, and remember this:

YOU get the JOB, but THEY get YOU.

There isn't "one" winner. They aren't doing you a favor.

They...

...get...

...YOU.

.

Everybody wins.

I'll be looking forward to your "I got the job" thread tomorrow.
