Since this is my Facebook ? Just wanted to share that I have a job interview, today. I'm super nervous. What do you do to psych yourself up for a job interview?
I think about how motherfucking sharp I look when dressed up for an interview. Dressing up always helps with the confidence.
@nutrition_nerd You're smart, articulate and cute as hell (hey, it's been scientifically proven to help!). You'll do great.
@nutrition_nerd Oooh, don't you look swish! Stylish, yet professional. I didn't have an ugly duckling phase, but as a six foot plus skinny no-arsed white boy in my youth, I had one hell of an ugly stick insect phase. By your last comment, does this mean congratulations are in order?
@nutrition_nerd fingers crossed for you.

Act like you are interviewing them. You are evaluating the company to see if they are worth it.
Pretend you’re an actor in a movie. Playing a confident, put together character.
And the old chestnut, imagine the interviewers in their undies.
When I used to conduct interviews I always felt a bit nervous, although I don’t think I showed it.
They are just people, and you are interviewing them as much as they are you.
Congratulations! I try to run through the questions in my mind that I think I may be asked. I am always nervous during an interview. Best of luck to you.
Think about how you’re going to present yourself and try to conceive how you can succeed. Avoid thinking negatively. A good self image is a must.
Know that the interviewer is just another human being, that no job is worth giving up your freedom for, and don't sweat the small stuff.
Pray! LOL This is such a great forum for this. The downside of not being superstitious is that we don't have the cheap tricks to rely on like imaginary friends that calm us. I am glad to see a lot of the practical advice that was posted along with some jokes to put you at ease. My last interview, I walked around squeezing a stress ball all morning to release some angst. Then I chatted with the receptionist and security guard while waiting to tap into my normal mode before going in.
I relax and be myself.
I just quit my job today. I have a new one starting in two weeks.
Not sure i haven't had one in awhile, maybe some good music ya like?
Awesome mate...just be yourself. As we say over here " She'll be right mate ". Good luck!
Go over any possible questions that you will asked"Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years time"? "Will you continue your education"? "What assets will you bring to this organization"? "Will you be happy on a salary"?,and possibly. "What is your Debt load for student loans"?
