Interviewing

[Hootie]

I've got another interview on Monday, and for the first time it's for a position that isn't in the jewelry field. I'm really nervous and excited all at once.

Any pointers or words of advice?

When I interview people, I look for some certain things...
Research the company, it makes you look proactive, and it'll help you figure out if this is a place for you. Ask questions.
Professional attire is pretty in important in the business world..what kind of position are you interviewing for?
Be confident!!

Personally, I feel that rush really helped me when I interviewed. Lots of the same concepts. It's kinda the same theory, you're trying to figure out if you'd be a good fit for the company.

I am sure you'll do fine, Hootie!!!

It's true what they say "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." As an interviewer I always realized that "this is the BEST it's ever gonna be!" -- meaning...if there are grammatical mistakes on the resume, or if the candidate wasn't dressed appropriately, etc. -- it would never get any better! That being said, here are my pointers:

• smile
• firm handshake
• check resume for spelling & grammar
• dress appropriately
• have an answer for the question "What are your weaknesses?"
• send a follow-up letter after the interview

You'll be great, Hootie. Let us know how it goes!
