Some of my close friends on here know I’ve been looking for a new job for a while. I have a good job now but the pay has diminished and the work has quadrupled. I got the word last week that I am a finalist for a new one. The second interview is today. So I am trying to harness the power of positive thinking so I can do a good presentation of my skills to some very high level people. The new job pays 15K more than I bring in now. My wife and I had twins right before the depression hit and we are struggling to stay above water. I know some are struggling way more than we are but thanks in advance.

Positive energy sent. I don’t think any of us expected that jobs would be so hard to get. But, folks are still getting hired everyday. Hope it goes well.
September 14, 2012 at 2:17 pm #1098845Inform them of how accurate your skills are and make sure they understand what your saying. Keep it well informed and to the point with a good tone of voice, good luck.
September 14, 2012 at 2:21 pm #1098848It’s your day to shine Kev, break a leg and best of luck to you.
September 14, 2012 at 3:06 pm #1098871Positive thinking is good, a “can do” attitude is even better. During the interview and discussion find a problem or issue they have needing a solution and sell yourself on how you will be that solution to their problem or issue. Its a highly effective selling technique called solution based selling and you are the BEST product for the situation. Good luck.
September 14, 2012 at 3:16 pm #1098873Dress for the occasion.
Turn cell phone off.
Go to the bathroom right before the interview so your not uncomfortable.
Good strong body language-don’t fidget or act nervous if you can help it. Keep good posture.
Smile and have a positive attitude.
Try to connect with the interviewer without sucking up.
Don’t ever bash your current/previous employer or position, those are your references.
Firm hand shake.
Make eye contact when speaking or being spoken to.
Be confident in what you’re selling (you).
Speak deliberately. Say what needs to be said without rambling.
Focus on your goal.
Close by thanking the interviewer for their time.These all seem common sense, particularly for someone who’s been interviewing a lot lately, but its nice to have a reminder.
Best wishes Kevin and good luck. Keep thinking that you are the MOST qualified candidate for the job.

Good luck, also, don’t forget to close the sale with, telling them you want the job….
September 14, 2012 at 5:23 pm #1098913In a huge twist of irony, it takes a strong man to turn to his friends for moral support.
You just gotta hang in in there, dude… it’ll work out, but you gotta keep your chin up.
My fingers are crossed for you, sir.
September 14, 2012 at 6:49 pm #1098928Good luck and let us know how it goes. And regardless learn from the interview for the next one if needed.

I was a wrestler in high school and that quit thing just doesn’t seem to fit into my vocabulary. Luckily my good buddy John is taking me fishing tomorrow in his brand new sled. I met him on here and he is now one of my best friends. Here is a nice double for everyone’s trouble.
