Prepping for Interview

[darkling_glory]

Please don't hate me. Tomorrow this is all over with and I'll either have a new job or I won't so I'll stop talking about it then. Until then, please help. 

What else do I need to do to prep for my interview.

I have copies of my resume
Copies of the job description
A list of questions I would like to ask
I practiced answering some of the lame interview questions like "strengths and weakness"
I bought a new suit and the outfit is all set
I know where I'm going


Was there anything that really surprised you at an interview? Anything you wish you had done differently? Worded differently?

I don't know how many people I will be interviewing with. I think 3 and one of them should be my old boss who has been recruiting me heavily for this position, so that is reassuring. 

I know that I am qualified for this job, but I'm still nervous.

It really sounds like you are fully prepared at this point.

When I was interviewing last year, I made sure to create mental links between some of my past duties and how they apply to the duties of the job I was applying for to better "sell myself". Even if they don't look like an automatic translation between roles, I would try to give an idea of how lessons learned from previous roles would apply to the new one. Just for an example, I would use my experience in a past service industry job as examples of experience with time-management, customer service, and financial accountability - then point out how that experience will help with the new role in a different way.

Not sure if that made any sense, but good luck and I'm sure you are going to do just fine.

That does make sense! Thank you!
