I am excited about my job interview next week! This will be my first one in...um...7 years (I think it's been about that long, or even longer). I have about 8 days to get prepared for it. Anyone have any tips? The only job interviews I have had were for retail and food sevice jobs and my short military enlistment and stay-at-home-mom. This job will be a little more professional (I have to hand in a resume when I walk in), so I need some tips on how to dress, how to say things, and how to get hired. I posted my resume last night on monster.com, and this place has been the first place to get back to me. Now, when I was a kid growing up, I never said I always dreamed of being a lawn care person, lol, but hey, if I gets the bills paid for now until I can get a job doing what I want to do or something better, then who can complain? It's that or LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!
