I have an important job interview tomorrow. Its for an administrative function at a law firm, and its a very chique law firm. Can I get any tips, cuz Im just gonna be so nervous tomorrow!

Thanx H

On your way to the interview, leave a trail of breadcrumbs so you can safely find your way back out.

Works for me!

Hope that helps, good luck!!

just be yourself and try not to be too nervous.

easier said than done, i know. but it's the best thing. good luck!

-Think of some questions that they might ask u and go over the answers
when asked a question never say "ummmm....well like..."
-Dont stutter,use your hands when u talk (not too much)
-Give a firm handshake
-Make eye contact
-Ask the interviewer some questions about the company
- be confident

Ask if it's okay to smoke before you light up in their office.

No! Bad advice!

Don't be yourself, be someone with better qualifications, experience and skills!

Here are some quick tips from DOOK:
- Shower
- Dress appropriately - sounds like you should wear at least business casual.
- Don't ramble - just answer the questions confidently.
- Think about possible questions that might be asked - practice your responses in front of a friend.
- Keep eye contact with the interviewer - it shows that you're confident.
- No perfume (or light perfume)
- Smile
- Exude confidence
- Make sure you send thank you letters/emails to everyone you interview with (that means make sure you get a business card from everyone).
- And, have fun - if you get the job, great! If it wasn't a good fit, there will be PLENTY of other opportunities.

Remember the person interviewing you is your equal and not better than you

Smile....and be youself....

Good Luck.....not that you'll need it

I have an interview on Wednesday and I'm taking 3bogs' advice!!

Drink a milkshake made with milk, chocolate Nesquik powder and vodka. They are less likely to smell alcohol on you, if you follow this recipe.

when they ask you specific questions, they really don't want specific answers, i.e., something so specific to what you do now that they won't know what you're referring to. be general.

they want to know -

how you handle difficult people
can you 'get it done', are you a go-to
what situations have arisen where you've saved the day.

so think of a time when you were super(wo)man and embellish it.

but not too much.

Don't wear all black, try some muted colours instead, no mini skirt or cleavage if you want to be taken seriously.
Smile when greeting these people and when appropriate. Don't laugh nervously in all the wrong places, it makes you seem like an idiot. Warm dry hands for the handshakes.
But I'm sure you know all these - Good luck!!!!

Show some leg! It works for me.

just don't remove it from your body and slam it on the table and ask how much they think it would go for on eBay.

DAMN!!!!! I knew that's why I didn't get that job!

oy vey

Whatever you do, don't pick your nose, and, if you do, make sure you do not eat it. I cannot stress that enough!

Anyway, good luck!

you could ask at the end of the interview when asked if YOU have any questions

"have you any reservationsabout employing me?"

and they have to answer!!!

good luck!

You gotta do this:
Be yourself!! Be attentive!! Be excited!! (not too excited ) Be proffessional, but try and treat it like you're talking to a friend. That way you relax more. Employerz look out for drive and personality so just show your keen and dress nice and neat and smell good and be well manicured and you'll be right!!
