I think I am ready for the interview now

[staxxy]

In my folio I have:

1 copy print out the pdf application they e-mailed to me all filled out
1 copy of my resume
1 list of personal/professional references
1 CD with the PowerPoint Presentation and my resume in electronic form, labeled :D
1 print out copy of the slides in my PowerPoint Presentation
2 sets of the Letters of Recommendation I have (original plus one photocopy)
1 copy of the list of 20 questions to ask the interviewer
1 yellow legal pad to write information down
my wallet
Directions to the office with maps

I have painted my nails dark red, and put a gloss coat on as well
I have my long red skirt, black light knit shirt, red blazer all laid out I will iron them in the morning
my shoes and tights and everything is all set out ready to go

I think I may just be as ready for this interview as I can be. I think I may be more ready for this interview than any interview I have ever had. I feel organized, and efficient, and on top of things.

Why am I still so nervous? Why do I feel like it still won't be enough, like *I* won't be enough?

Honestly, this is my first interview since I actually got over the depression. I think that the depression had a lot to do with me not getting jobs in the past. And, while I do *need* this job, I actually really *want* it.

so any last minute advice or suggestions?

SIS, JUST BE YOU.

It's all you can do.
Try not to be nervous, and try not to let your nervousness put you into "Staxxy-overdrive" mode. That thing you do where you try to hard to be entertaining. It's very entertaining, but it's also somewhat frightening.

Anyway, best of luck, and if they don't hire you, they're fools.

Love
Your little bro.

Possibly the best advice I could have

"Try not to be nervous, and try not to let your nervousness put you into "Staxxy-overdrive" mode. That thing you do where you try to hard to be entertaining."

Thanks.

Those 2 sentences helped me calm down *immediately*. you really are the best little brother ever. I just wish I had known you were my little brother sooner. ;)

I will maintain my cool tomorrow.

I may even attempt to go zen beforehand.

just reading my friends list then off to sleep.

*smoochies*

What he said. You can do it. Just be cool, take half a second before each response to think, and knock their socks off.

Re: :) thanks!

now if only I could get to *sleep*. I just laid in bed for an hour and became *more* awake.

You can do this!

You're obviously well prepared. Just be yourself (is there an echo in here?) and they can't not love you!
Kick some ass Chica.

You are fabulous and anyone that comes anywhere near you knows that. If there is any possible way that they can hire you, they will...because you are simply amazing.
Try to let go of the nerves. Anything there is to be nervous about has nothing to do with *you*.
My fingers are crossed, holding my breath and sending out good vibes, doll.

Do you know how much it helps to have such an amazing support system of friends?

You can conquer the world...and with the power and strength you have you can move smoothly through glorious days and turbulents...you are such a goddess......

and it is true, you do have a lot of the same friends. This is a fact that makes me EXTRA happy because it means I am far less likely to lose you again.

Re: Oh YEAH!!!

That's what the notepad was for, right?
You are very talented, responsible, intelligent and competent. I agree with everyone else that if there is a way to hire you, they will!
