Interview Anxiety

I apologize in advance for not finishing the last blog post, but I should finish the next installment soon. Most likely, I will be stopping by Starbucks later this afternoon.

I received a call for an interview Tuesday. I am a little anxious, and I am excited. I haven't had an interview in a long time, but I do have some things I need to be sure to be aware of. I tend to make myself notes of what I say after the interview is over. I remember one interview, I kept saying "so" to end the sentence. That was a horrible interview experience.

Note to self:
1. Refrain from filler words such as: like, um, and yeah (or anything that may sound like a filler word)
2. Answer the question
3. Make sure the answer is concise and to the point (don't ramble)
4. Be calm, but confident
5. Ask questions when appropriate
6. Research before the interview

I don't know if I'm ever fully ready for an interview. I sometimes tend to fly by the seat of my pants. Most of the time, I get to know the interviewer and have a friendly conversation.
