[Life on Other Planets AKA Johns]

i am really nervous . i had been working at this place for ten years. yup thats along time i know. anyway i am used to asking the questions not giving the answers. have you guys and gals got any tips to calm my nerves. i have been likethis for the last couple days and i really want this job. i left my other work (my decision) a week and a half ago and i really should have got something before i left. but i thought i would take a couple weeks off to relax. but i am relaxed out now and want to get back to work. Morgage is a big part . Discuss

Re: so i have a job interview tomorrow

just be calm and be yourself.

dont be too formal or informal.

give frank honest (enough) answers and dont waffle on with too much technical talk.

Show enthusiasm and panache.

good luck, hope it goes well!

drink hot green tea. i actually find that calms me down a bunch. also, what kind of interviews does this company use? behavioral? straight-forward? more and more companies are using behavioral interviews these days, so read up on those just in case this company uses that style. i don't necessarily like those types of interviews, but if you read up on them, you'll do yourself a big favor. and do as Dhar said, be very energetic.

Watch the scene in Trainspotting where Spud has a job interview. Good pointers there

And catch enough sleep.

Re: so i have a job interview tomorrow

I think after

1st Interviewer: Mr. Murphy, do you mean that you lied on your application?
Spud: No! Uh. Yes. Only to get my foot in the door. Showing initiative and that like.
1st Interviewer: But you were referred here by the department of employment, there was no need for you to get your "foot in the door," as you put it.
Spud: Ehhh... cool. Whatever you say, I'm sorry. You're the man. The dude in the chair.
2nd Interviewer: Mr. Murphy, what attracts you to the leisure industry?
Spud: In a word: pleasure. It's like, my pleasure in other people's leisure.

Jut try to go in there with confidence and know what you're talking about and you'll do fine man. I know exactly what you mean about not being able to sleep the night before things like that , I'm the same way, probably worse. Things work out though. Good luck bro.

I always try to see if I can put a little joke at the beginning to lossen things, it worked each time; but you really have to be sure it's the right moment.
think about it this way: if it doesn't work, it means you weren't meant to get it...
