I have a TWO-DAY job interview in SC

[Ellen Forradalom]

and boy am I nervous.

1. You will do well

You will have poise and confidence and you will knock their socks off.

2. Excellent, Ellen!

I did a two-day interview for a position once, and it really was a lot of fun. I think I got the job because I prepared for the interview by doing my homeowork: knowing something about the company with which I was interviewing, its market and, perhaps more importantly, the local community. You can do it! :thumbsup:

(Decide now that whether or not the interview yields a job offer, you're going to make those two days an engaging learning experience for yourself! Being nervous is natural. :pals: )

3. I have a lot of homework to do

on my programming language of choice, the city in which the company is located, the company and its industry.

4. Have a list of questions

When I interview for a job, one of the main questions I have is: why should I work here? Is your company a good fit for me? I ask highly detailed questions about technical procedures, resources, personnel, etc. If I can stump the interviewers, I'm in fairly good shape. Just go in there knowing your shit, confident and almost playful without being too impertinent.

Remember that interviews are a two-way street. They're interviewing you and you're interviewing them. Never let them assume that you are there for the first taker. Don't be afraid to be somewhat hard-to-get.

8. Listen to hardhead's advice.

Turn the tables, and you will stroke their ego, appear as a better candidate, find out about the job and people, and you'll also figure out how better to pitch yourself.

Good luck. I'm about to start two days of interviewing candidates to replace my employee who retired last week (yeah, I supervise one whole person).

9. Programming language...

a fellow programmer?

Good luck with the interview.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Good luck Ellen

I hope you find what you're looking for.

10. my husband is from Columbia, SC, Greenville

is kinda neat, and I LOOOOVE Charleston. We live in western NC and go into SC a lot, if you have questions about the area or company, let me know (or PM me). Husband used to work for the state gov't and is familiar with a lot of the companies, big and small, in the state.

Best of luck! The weather in this part of the country is great (tho summers can get hot and humid as all-get-out) - you get seasons without extremes.

11. Someone gave me this link

a few days ago, and I found it very interesting. http://www.asktheheadhunter.com/basics1.htm

The writer I found a little brash, but I think some of his strategies are worth trying. Good luck!

12. Blackbaud? Or a native SC company?

If the latter, it'll take 2 days for them just to get the same questions asked that would take 25 minutes elsewhere.

13. what are you up for, Pope?!

What the hell kind of job takes two days to interview for?

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. Pope would be cool

but alas not.
