I have another job interview tommorrow that I really need right now!
It is at a warehouse, not really sure on too much but I need this job pretty bad to have enough money to help move me and my girlfriend in 9months. Plus 1/4 of my pay every month will go online.......only because MMG exists! (thanks MMG for being here)
So if I could just get some of your good luck I would really appreciate it.

Good luck to you! Just be yourself and enjoy the interview (if you can!) Most of the time the person doing the interview is having just as much fun as the person being interviewed....so just relax!

You can find tons of materials to read about how to handle job interviews and such. I used to get very nervous as well. Now, not anymore...I just nail them. I'm not bragging, just telling you that I've been there and there's nothing better than conquering your own fears.
This may sound silly. It probably is, but one thing that helped me a lot was a little bit of an interview that someone was making to Larry King. He was narrating his first steps in his media career, the first time he got a job in a radio. So he was there, a kid with big dreams, his first shot at public broadcasting, and the little red light turned on and the operator made a sign for him to speak.
He didn't. He couldn't speak. He stayed mute for about 30 seconds, and the operator ended up going to commercials. Immediately after this the radio Director stormed in and yelled at him:"Damn it, just speak, this is communication!!!", and then, Larry said, then he "got it". What he got was that there are no lies. The reason he went mute was that he thought he was expected to "lie", to be some kind of hot shot cool radio DJ saying cool stuff. The pressure was too much and his mind went blank.
But then he realized that he couldn't lie. He couldn't be some hot shot DJ. He could just be himself. So after the break he said:"excuse me it's my first time in radio and I just went blank and blah blah..." And from that day onwards he never tried to show the audience anything sligtly fake about him. What you see is what you get. And he didn't do too bad, huh?
My point? Just be yourself. Don't worry about causing a good impression because you'll be too nervous and you'll screw up if you do. Just be yourself. You ARE you anyways so why try to show the employer something else? If they dont like you, screw them.
excuse the rant, just thought it might help

Bro,
here's my tips:
- assure your boss that you are the right man for the job. - don't make a mess of yourself just because you are desperate for that job. - dress up well, give you best impression for the interview
Good luck

Jun 29 2005, 01:37 PM
Well what can I say? I don't even know how to explain what happened at the interview!
First off, the lady said "hi nice to meet you"...... My responese was something like "bud do deet you to" (I could not spit it out) DAMN!!!
Than they were telling me that if everything checked out, that I would have to go get a full physical.........(not the rubber glove)
Otherwise once again I think I pretty much bombed it! I hate interviews.
And I especially hate having to come home to my girlfriend who works 7days a week and tell her how I failed again! Big dissapointment!
Sorry everyone but thank you all for the good luck!, and tommorow is another day. I just have to keep on keeping on!

Best of luck for your next interview.
Self belief is the starting point. If you believe in yourself then most other people believe in you as well.
For the next interview concentrate on believing that you will do well and that they will want to hire you. This will put you in a more positive frame of mind for the interview. This way you are actually focusing yourself towards the outcome that you want to achieve and not towards the outcome that you don't want.

I know I say this to everyone, but I mean everytime. Good luck.
Don't forget it hasn't failed me yet. I don't work now because of my son but when I wanted a new job I just would go on the interview and walk out with the job.
Maybe its because I'm female but I like to think it has a little to do with the confidence level...AND Jen's lucky steps to getting a job in 1 day
lol You will do fine on the 12th. You already know you have the skills they need. RIGHT?
THEY NEED YOU Loganla!!!
oh yeah...GOOD LUCK!

Hey, good luck to you logan I wish you all the best!
I tried my best and this time I was even good on the talking part, but for some reason I just didn't receive the job!! It looked as if I was the youngest one there for the interviews, so maybe that is why. I probably had alot less experience than the rest.
I didn't mean to let down all of the MMG,I am sorry!
And once again I had to stop by my girlfriends work to let her know I failed her, again At this rate I have no idea how I am going to be able to afford to move in 8months so my girlfriend can accomplish her dream and go to her cytotechnology schooling in Calgary!
All I need to do is win the lotto and everything will be just fine!!!! Well maybe at least a scratch ticket that is enough to finally upgrade my TGT account to enough to live off of monthly. that would be nice!
Anyways I geuss I will have to send out a bunch more resumes hoping for that job to save my life!!!!!!
I will keep you all updated on the progress!! And thanks again for all the luck. And good luck to all of you with your online money making

the important part is that you keep trying. Even if you cant find a "good" job, try to find a minimum wage job. gas station or something. some money is better than nothing, and it will be good on your resume

I have, and I have years of labour work plus retail work on my resume. It is just that I only have 8months to save up enough money to move to calgary from edmonton.
Current bank account amount $92.00 I am trying to sell almost everything I own to get some funds, especially to put into some online programs that I trust!
And yes I am breaking one of my rules by spending more than I can afford to lose, but really I haven't much of a choice!, plus the funds for online investments are those from some of my not needed(but loved) possesions....like my motorcycle I built from the ground up!!!!!
But it has to be done if I am serious about me and my girlfriends future.
p.s. I also am keeping my fingers crossed on winning a small lottery!! lol, which I would probably upgrade my TGT account............ I have been wanting to do this since TGT started!
Maybe my luck will turn around one day!....but hey I still have MMG
