I need interview vibes.

[LaraMN]

I'm meeting with the owner of a little firm that may hire me to do some contract work (writing) for him.
It would be awesome if I could make some extra money and gain a bit of relevant work experience.

I'm a lil' bit skeered.

1. as hard as it sounds, be yourself

and make lots of eye contact and smile!

good luck!

[LaraMN]

3. Okay! Noted!

Thanks!
I've only ever interviewed for part-time minimum wage jobs, so I'm excited about the prospect of some professional work.

2. Good luck!

I'm sure you'll do well. Are you going to wear heels or flats? :evilgrin:

[LaraMN]

4. I'm dressing like a hooker. Definitely.

I'm SO not!

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

7. I didn't think you would

I was just harkening back to your thread the other day complaining about how you couldn't find a good pair of heels...

[Pierre.Suave]

9. DAMN

I was going to recommend a short skirt, tight, low cut sweater, some boots, and lots of flirting...

But thats apparently out of the question.

5. Wear boots

And get one of your minions to lick them to a bright shine before you go.

13. Lara's got minions?

[kay1864]

6. Good vibes coming your way.

Hope you get it.

8. Just let enthusiasm overcome the nerves.

Act almost like you have the job already and be focused on exactly what you will be doing. I have gotten a couple of jobs I might not have gotten, out of sheer enthusiasm and interest in the actual work.

10. Never let 'em see you sweat. nt.

[Crabby Appleton]

11. good luck, here's some vibes

nothin' to be skeered about.

[LaraMN]

12. Update: piece o' cake!

I've got lots of work to do and he's willing to pay what I asked. It's going to be excellent experience and I'm definitely up for it. It'll also be great to add to my resume; between this, my internship next semester, and few other odd items, I'll actually have something legitimate to put on there!

Thanks for the vibes! You guys are the best!

16. Woo-hoo!

Congrats on getting the pay you wanted!











Do you think the boots helped? :silly:

[LaraMN]

17. Hey! I wore dress pants and a sweater!

And dress boots, but those don't count!

[ThomCat]

14. Knock 'em dead!

I hope to hear some good news from you soon. :)
