I wanted to thank Fan of Nickleback and everyone else who has given advice in this, and the previous, thread. I also want to thank Dusting Duvet for the resume and coverletter service I had an interview today at a firm that I'm very interested in. It had been six years since my last, non informational, interview. I think I hit it out of the park. This interview was a huge contrast to an informational interview I attended about 6 weeks ago where I 'Honestly' gave my opinion about my completely disfunctional employer. I remember rambling around questions they asked about my direction and my goals and I gave my income history without batting an eye. Looking back I shake my head at how pathetic I probably seemed. I've spent the last 10 days practicing the OP's methods and refining my professional profile so that I could present myself as the best candidate for this position. The 1-5 scale for answering questions, and the advice to never say anything bad about anyone, redefined my interview process. I prepared, did my research and used every bit of advice from these threads that I could manage. It works! When asked "Do you have any questions for us?" I used an answer directly from the OP: "What can you tell me about this companies management philosophy that you find most effective?" I changed it to fit my style and it elicited a "That is a GREAT question". Bonus: It was something that my interviewer had actively been working on the last 6 months. Because my current job is so disfunctionaly managed it was not an empty question on my part. I wanted to know if they even HAD a management philosophy.

FAN OF NICKELBACK posted:Uh. So nothing else is getting added to the OP; it hit the 50,000 word limit and I didn't save a second post because that seemed kinda ridiculous for a post on how to interview. Why did I see an achievement window pop up when I read this?  Remember, don't put your gamer score in your resume.
