Interview and stuff!

OMG you guys. I got an interview for water operator... *checks clock* 3 hours from now!!!

I've been busy trying to study up the last couple of days. (Fun stuff like, what's the maximum allowed contaminate level for turbidity and chlorine residual? What's the difference between calcium hypochlorinate and sodium hypochlorinate? How does a septic tank work?) I dunno... somehow with the competitive market I feel like I probably don't have much of a shot. I just hope I don't make a fool of myself.

Ack. I'm just a big bundle of nerves right now. Silly, because it's going to be probably a twenty minute interview. I just really want this job. Anyone got any surefire interview tips?


Edit: Done with the interview guys! Thanks for the support and/or tips! It went... well, I think. I made them laugh a few times, but they got a lot of interviews to do. Here's hoping I stood out! :D

You'll get it. You're that awesome.

I have no advice, since obviously I suck at getting jobs. But I don't think you need it, anyway =3.

Good luck!

Confidence helps a whole heck of a lot, I've found. Though my experience is pretty limited.

Be someone they want to work with. Be bubbly, friendly and fun.

Good Luck, though I'm sure they'll hire you on the spot. ;)

And I agree with dungeonwriter!

Look at it as an opportunity. Worse case scenario you get interview experience so if you have another interview some day down the line, you'll rock it!

The best advice I can give with an interview is be the interviewer's friend, and never, ever act nervous. If you don't know something, own up to it. Think about how the interviewer would want you to respond- you put your employer first, you won't be running off, etc. If you are a good salesman, then sell yourself.
