So I got the call today to come in for a final interview. It's next Wednesday so I have time to get cleaned up(haircut,shave,nice shirts). It was a really casual call. He told me I was one of the final choices and he'd like me to come in to observe a broadcasting session. It's not a stress test I would strictly be observing and attached to his hip the whole day. By the way the person I've been speaking with is the Chief Editor and we really seem to have a connection. But anyway after the broadcast is over he wants me to meet the News Director and have a sit down with the 3 of us. Really excited and nervous!

 

Sounds like you have one foot in the door.

 

Usually when they want to spend that much time with you, it's a done deal.

 

It may sound dorky/geeky, but I would have a pen and small pad in my back pocket to jot down notes throughout the day.  

 

I have been doing my job for 10 years and am the second longest tenured employee at my company, and I rarely go to a sales meeting without a pen and paper even though I don't need to at all.

Just be yourself and be as prepared as you can. No canned answers. Have confidence in yourself and remember that not only are you pitching yourself to them but they are also selling themselves to you.

Today is the fuging day. Shaved, fresh haircut, blue dress shirt, blue tie, black pants etc. Nervous as all hell. Wearing my Oakley prescription glasses to look professional and bringing a pen and notebook with me to take note. Interview is at 1:30 but I'll be there before one and then probably go in around 1:15. Wish me luck.

Speaking of black pants, I was talking to someone the other day (totally different fashion) about him always wearing black pants and black shoes.  

 

The only "dark pants" I have are part of a suit.  I always wear khaki pants, and never black shoes unless it's a black tie affair.

 

Just a funny observation.

 

P.S. not sure why, but almost every single car salesman I know wears black or dark pants and black shiny shoes.

Black pants slim you down and make you be taken more seriously.

Not so sure that is the case, but to each his own.

 

It's just a different style, and not mine by any means.

 

Kinda like 20-30 somethings walking around in Jordans, just looks foolish to me.
