[Job] Interview tips

Go to their website and do some research, and just throw in "on your website...." in a question or answer... if you can....that always impresses them.

 

Good advice so far. I'll emphasize be prepared with severals CARs or STARs (whatever you call them) that demonstrate your best abilities. Be ready and determined to plug these into the interview, though be careful and use them with appropriate questions. Don't be afraid of answering questions incorrectly. Cautious applicants who are paranoid about making a mistake or giving the wrong answer during an interview have zero chance to get hired when I'm involved. It's one thing to skip a question and go back to it later; it's another when you are clearly too shy/reserved/afraid to answer a pertinent question.

 

My best advice is just to be yourself. Most interviews are more personal than technical. Granted, they are going to see if you know how to do what they are going to expect you to do, but that is not ass important as personality. They are going to hire someone who they want to work with, so even if you know everything but come off as an a-hole, it won't matter.

Don't get too nervous, if they are interviewing you they obviously have some interest and would like to potentially work with you. Act professional and respectful, yet don't come off as someone with the personality of a rock. Find out what kind of people they are looking for and the kind of people that currently work there. Stress drive, determination, and intelligence. If possible, try to find out something about the person/people that you are interviewing with to talk to them about.

I would NOT ask about money, social life, or anything that shows them that you have one eye on the door and not your full attention.

 

Seems like everything went pretty well. Anytime they give you an extensive tour around their facility/offices and introduce you to the people you will be reporting to, it's a good thing.

 

Interview Tips

Performing well in interviews is one of the most important aspects of a successful job search. Here are some helpful hints for making a solid first impression on a prospective employer:

* Don't sell yourself short by being too embarrassed to list all your best assets—if you've got a nice ****, you've got a nice ****.
* When answering interview questions, allude frequently to "secret identity," "important work done outside the office," and "boy sidekick."
* Wink knowingly throughout the interview.
* The only way to make a résumé better? Make it bigger! Have it printed on oversize oak tag board.
* Impress upon the interviewer that you are an aggressive, ambitious self-starter by knocking him unconscious.
* Arrive at interview bedecked with diamonds and emeralds from head to toe.
* No matter how "important" the interviewer makes him/herself out to be, refuse to talk to that person, saying you want the "head honcho" only.
* Before putting on interview suit, douse self liberally with Polo cologne, then drink remaining contents of bottle.
* Upon sitting down for interview, tell the person, "Go ahead, shut the door, I won't scream rape."
* Ask the interviewer: "Confidentially, who is your greatest enemy within the company?" Then kill that person to prove your loyalty.
* Bring radio remote control to interview, and offer to employer—explain that they can use it to control your every deed.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Is the agency in Houston? I have a friend from school that went to work for Foggerty, Klein, Monroe after graduation and she hated it. She said it was like slavery, and she ended up quitting like after 6 months. Not trying to be a downer though, I hope you get the job

 

I hope they didn't search your name on Google. You know, to find the infamous ticket thread.
