finding a job

[2x3i5x]

Yeah, good luck with that.     

Well, that's what my dad said to me, that's his strategy and he did it at all his interviews and he's done and it's worked for him..... but I know everyone's different ....

Personally i always took the approach that each interview was an opportunity to practice my interview skills...

That's an excellent approach, too.

I re-entered the workforce after many years of holding the same job, and wished I could've gotten feedback from interviewers.

Sometimes, it just "clicks," too.  You walk in, and you have the skills and the personality -- just the person for whom they're looking.

Oh, yeah -- don't be surprised at the tests -- English, reading, comprehension, math, psychological profile tests.

I always find just clearing your mind before the interview helps. Think about what your doing that night or next week just before you go in, that helps you focus when you get asked a question. Also this helps you relax your mind and answer more freely without the erm's and Ahh's but be careful the last thing you want is they ask 'Where do you see yourself in 6 months' And you answer 'Hanging out the back of the girl next door'.

and given, you've probably already researched up on the job you are potentially going to be doing and the company behind it, you could just be chilling there, just having fun.

Just like to add one more note to this, any frequent forum user is always welcome to add Computer Hope as a reference if they need to. I've actually been called and successfully helped several people get jobs who've helped Computer Hope in the past.

The Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) gives Computer Hope a B+ rating, so that's pretty good still 

So you can say that this person (whoever it is)  has been a good contributer and has helped to enhance CH and therefore is a good candidate....
