Monday, 9:00 a.m. is absolutely the best time for an interview.

Good luck, jp. Will you prepare a portfolio for this and/or make up new stuff to show you are bursting with ideas?

I have a portfolio to show. I do have a few news things I want to add to it before Monday, though. I feel like I have a solid portfolio to show and some good stuff to talk about. I actually love interviewing... I get more of an excited nervousness rather then a nervous nervousness. I'm starting to get a bit psyched up now.

Great! Lots of time to prepare, too. Getting a haircut? Clothes to the cleaners & back again. Polish up the old shoes. Very Happy

Best wishes jp. You can do it!

One of the things I really disliked when interviewing people was asking "Do you have any questions" and them saying "No."

You should have two to three questions prepared for when they ask this question.

And, don't forget to ask for the job before you go (if it still sounds like something you are interested in after the interview.)

You probably already know all this... Just making sure.

Oh, and you aren't supposed to sit until they tell you to.

I just know you're gonna "Wow!" them!

Some of the best advice I got was when somebody in the field told me to always ask to see some of their work and ask questions about the person interviewing you. His reasoning was that you usually interview with either the owner or the art director and they like to show off what they have done. So asking questions, not about the job, but about the person/what they have accomplished is a great way to break the ice and make it a bit more personal... not just a straight interview.

I'd cross my fingers but then I wouldn't be able to type.
I'd cross my eyes, but they hurt already.

So, I'll cross my feet and braid my hair.

Good luck!

Well, the interview went well. It lasted about 45 minutes and I felt very comfortable. Good conversation. They are still accepting resumes at this point so I won't know for a week or two. So far so good though.

Don't forget to drop them a thank you note, jp. It could just be the difference. I still have all my appendages crossed.

Thanks swimpy... but don't forget to stretch those appendages once in awhile. We wouldn't want you cramping up.
