    Ah right, I think I get it now.

      A lot of good advice, that actually applies to doing a rockabilly gig () learn all your songs off by heart and all your licks. In fact it just occured to me that you could give a your presentation as a rockabilly gig.

          You'll be fine. Just stay away from the escalator and coffee before the interview...

              Good luck.
              If they're interviewing you then they think you can do the job and that's all that counts. Relax and get stuck in.

                Know your audience before you start, no point in having a detailed presentation on some IT type stuff and presenting to the HR manager and the tea boy.

                If you are using powerpoint write it then remove half the words from the slides, then half again, and do the same again.

                Learn the basics of standing/movement from any presentation skills info. Most people are at the extremes of being rooted to the spot or dancing around like they've just taken speed.

                  As many people said you answered your own question:

                  They want you, if they didn't they wouldn't waste the time.

                  A former colleague just asked a similar question, she got a similar answer plus some reassurance from me, her previous manager 2 years ago, she is now running half of Europe for the firm I work for.

                    You will be grand - flash them a big MP smile (& not your ass!) & knock them over with your knowledge.

                    They wouldn't interview you if they didn't think you were up to the job.

                      Is this current Clientco ? The most important question is :
                      Will you be billing them for the privilege of interviewing you


                      Good luck and knock em dead
