I have a job interview on Fri. Very excited...but nervous as can be. I've never interviewed for a job in my life. Little bit scary.

It's the one time it is ok to tell people how awesome you are. Don't sell yourself short. Good luck.

Don't be nervous. Just talk to the person. Thats what I do, and I ace all of my interviews. Don't over indulge on your answers. Make them short but friendly. The longer you make your answers, the more chance of getting your self in trouble.

Dammit Laura. You took the words out of my mouth. LOL That's what I tell everyone who I talk to that's going to a job interview. Be yourself and remember that you are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. If you have to pretend to be someone you're not to get the job, then how much would you really like being there. Take mental note of everything they show you, and the subtleties surrounding what they show you. Have a few questions ready, and try to do some research of the company beforehand.

Good luck!!!

Good luck man. My first ever interview was with the United States Secret Service. I was petrified but once I got in there the nerves went away. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but the advice I can give would be as follows:

-Get a haircut a few days before the interview
-Wear a nice suit, polish your shoes (looking sharp goes a long way)
-Make sure you know how long it will take you get to the interview a day or so in advance to plan for traffic and get there 30 min early.
-Greet the person with a firm handshake and look them in the eye
-Talk with confidence

Best of luck, ill say a prayer for you.

Remember;
Clean shave
Ironed clothes
Eye contact, and a firm handshake
Be confident
Be yourself
Rehearse answers to the hard questions I.e: what can you do for the company? Why should we hire you? What's your biggest weakness?

Best of luck, I remember my first interview.

Is the position something you know well? Do you know your strength's & weaknesses? There are a lot of standard interview questions should be familiar with at least how you'd answer them. Make sure to have questions for them. You are interviewing them as well.

Good luck.

If you want the job in the end, make sure to directly ask for the job.

Good luck! Be sure to prepare for the question "What is your biggest weakness?"

I f'ing hate that question.
