Interview Tips

[Rookie]

Apart from the tie (females just don't do ties!) I've never thanked someone for meeting me at the beginning usually do that at the end, so I'll try that next time.

If this doesn't work I may just have to try the Sharon Stone approach being suggested (although extremely dodgy when you live on the south coast!)

Is that a euphemism for what Pogle experimented with in her misspent youth?

Always sit slightly forward in your chair, and try and keep you arms forward of you, not by their sides. Possible hands in lap sort of position. Then try and squeeze your arms together while leaning forward. Cross and uncross legs a lot, any motion is good, its shows you are motivated and cannot sit still.

HTH

Either that or you have a bad case of haemorroids

If they are looking to migrate a db, then thats what I am doing at the moment. If they are getting some reports in, then thats what I am doing right now at the current client. etc

the jokey bit is something like

'Do you think travelling down to London will be feasible for you?'

'Oh yes, 9 jobs out of 10 are down here. I even did a contract in Hong Kong once, so travelling doesn't faze me. Although getting back home to manchester for lunch was a problem in Hong Kong'


Oh how we laugh

I see where you are coming from but explaining the punchline implies that you think they are f'king eegits........ which while possibly true (both that you think it and that they are *see below) is OTT

All a bit academic to me as I don't get as far as interview.
