A day before the interview, there are questions that kept running through our mind that really bothered us. The thing that we really need a job really freaks us out. Many negative thoughts were rolling and playing. Competitiveness is surely expected, but the excitement is still present. The big thing is what should it take for you to stand out with a bunch of competitors and how you can win it?
Being ready and prepared will have big effects to the interview. It is the main key to overcome and prevent the risks you might encounter. Knowing the proper dress code, accessories, cologne and make-up to put on will be a plus factor. Remember that first impression contributes some part, so be safe and try to impress the interviewer for the first meeting as possible.
You should also be aware for the probable questions that the interviewer would ask like what are your strengths and weaknesses? Why we should hire you and what can you contribute to our company? How long are you planning to stay and how would you see yourself after 5 years? Knowing the possible things to be thrown-up will help you to be ready to catch it well. But always remember that being calm, nice, witty and confident will lead all these to reach the success.

What?
A doppelspammer who throws up and suggests catching it. I just hope she has a bowl for that. And we can vote too! |

Oooooh! What IS the proper cologne to wear to an interview to overcome and prevent the risks I might encounter? Is it Eau de Desperation? And should I douse myself in it, or just spritz it subtly behind my ears? VP |

When I want to stand out against my competitors, I print my CV on a big sandwich board and show up for interviews wearing just the sandwich board and snowshoes. It works EVERY time.

I vote "You". It's always you. It's never me.
Maybe I'm using the wrong cologne.

I would vote "me" but I don't want to be the first. I'd rather not "stand-out" I guess.

I voted for me and you. I'm inclusive! But then I saw the results, and I was the only one who voted for me. Do you all hate me? You suck! Unless your votes for you were really votes for me. Dammit, this place is lousy with English professors until you really need one. They're like buses, though marginally better for the environment.

I voted 'me' of course! It's all about me.
Though I never know the proper accessories. Like, should my toy poodle match my outfit or is that too matchy-matchy?

I find that talking about how I have no other job prospects or offers on the table really makes them think I'm serious. </sarcasm>

I personally subscribe to the Elle Woods school of thought. My CV smells so fine it may knock SCs unconscious.
