Interviews

This week begins the interview process. I received two different calls regarding positions I have applied for! Yeah! However can I just say that I have always hated the interview process. I feel as if I sound like the biggest idiot in the world and that I won't make a good impression. I haven't really had to do this in the past, because each job I was asked to apply for and I walked into the situation knowing that the job was already mine. Weird I know. Besides the dilemma of "What do I say to make the right impression?", I am also plagued with "What do I wear?" Most of the companies I have worked for in the past are fairly casual in their dress code and I don't want to come in to the interview overdoing it! In some ways I guess it was much like when I use to travel to see customers and give the good ol' sales pitch. I was always stressing over what to wear, what to say, etc. The difference was that at least going into most of those meetings I had the opportunity to establish a report with customer beforehand, because I had been talking with them via phone and email for a number of years prior to my first visit. However, I fear it is very different walking into an interview cold. So I have decided to wear my black slacks and a turquoise twinset, dressy enough without overdoing it! At least that is what I hope to achieve. Now to go and practice my answers to interview questions!!!
