Subject: RE: BS: Interview Tips?
Oh yes Morty, just remembered...important stuff..

1) Take along with you (written down) the names and dates of your employment history. This may already be on your resume/cv, but many companies require you to fill out an application which can be quite lengthy and detailed. I would always have to use the back of the page to fill in all the info. It helps to have all those dates written down. Several companies would have me list them in such a way (beginning employment month/day/year - ending employment month/day/year) in such a way that the interviewer could quickly notice gaps. My employment had lots of 3 month gaps. They would also ask reson for leaving...I had to put relocation (trailing spouse), position terminated, downsized, etc. A LOT!

2) Make sure you have telephone numbers for your references.

3) Take along extra copies of your resume/cv and references.

I aways had fun at interviews...they always seemed so interested in me, and I guess I just like to talk about myself! Knock 'em dead.
