Interviewing soon

(OP)
I'm going in for my first interview with an MEP firm this week, kinda nervous.

Any words of wisdom and encouragement will be much appreciated.  

RE: Interviewing soon

Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

RE: Interviewing soon

Search this forum.  This question has come up a lot (from both interviewee and interviewer standpoints.)

RE: Interviewing soon

I agree with VPL there is a lot of information already posted within the forum(s).

In any event, arrive early.  It then gives you some time to transition from the commute to being prepared/relaxed for the interview.

First Impressions mean a lot.  Consider this for how you dress, make eye contact, and shake hands.

As pennpiper indicates, tell the truth.

Regards,

RE: Interviewing soon

Bring a portfolio of accomplishments and samples if possible. It keeps your hands busy and the enthusiasm level high.

RE: Interviewing soon

Relax and remember job hunts often follow this series of events, "no"1, "no"2..."no"x,"yes". Congratulations, hit the ground running and don't stop studying until you die...
