I got a job interview at the town library tomorrow. I'm so excited. It's for a Page position, which entails reading and organizing shelves and putting books away. I'm really interested in the position, and have a nice outfit put together for tomorrow and plan on bringing my GED since the interviewer made mention of it during our phone conversation. Any other tips or tricks you guys have for a good interview?
The usual. Be on time, look presentable, don't interrupt the interviewer, be polite and enthusiastic, try to avoid worn out phrases (the interviewer has heard them a thousand times). Send them a thank you card after the interview. It shows you appreciated the interview and will help set you apart from the crowd. .
Mention what you want to do with your life and associating it with the library. "I want to be an ______ and obviously education is a vital part of that." I Feel that getting this job will help me pursuing _______." I'm really intrested in becoming ____ and am intrested in learning _____ I feel that this is an important oppurtunity to provide me with _______. You'll get it smelly socks. I have faith in you. Because you're sexy. I mean smelly. Smelly.
Thanks, everyone. Good suggestions all around. And, lode, mayhap I'll change my name to Sexy Socks and move to Vegas and become a dancer of the exotic variety. Then I can work my way up through the biz and inevitably star in foot fetish porn. But I guess I'd have to do the gay porn first. They always get ya with the gay porn...
Don't even get me started on the gay porn. It's why I can't weat a sombrero this day without being called Donkey Kong. You'll get it Socks my love. Just have some faith in yourself and go take what you deserve. You like literature right? You'll work hard? Then theres no one better for the job. Take it. Take what you deserve.
make sure you smile a lot, make eye contact, seem interested when they are talking, talk as if you want to work at the library forever and never take holidays. also don't fiddle or twitch or give off any sign that you are nervous. they feed on your fear.
Thank you card? That sounds more like ass kissing card to me. Anyways you just need to be confident, know what you're capable of, look good & presentable.
