UPDATE: Finally have an Interview!!!!

I have been unemployed for six months (quit my job to move to California with my fiance)...therefore am not getting unemployment Anyway there are no mid-level jobs out here in my field and I finally have a second interview tomorrow. I'm soooooooo nervous (not too much pressure, only broke and have to pay for a NY wedding in a couple of months ). I've applied to a million jobs and this has been one of my only call backs. Any tips for the interview????

I really don't have any tips, other than 'Be yourself'. Best of Luck to you!!! Can I ask - since you're interviewing with E&Y, I guess you're an accountant?? Are you in tax or audit? I work for D&T and we're in desparate need of experienced tax hires!!!

Good Luck!!!

Re: Finally have an Interview!!!!

congrats! my only advice is try to get a good night's sleep (yeah right) and be yourself! be friendly without overdoing it. most companies would rather you be outgoing and show potential to learn rather than hold the highest grades from the most prestegious college (I watched a whole special on this last week!)

good luck!

Confidence. Being a Marketing person I can tell you it is all about selling yourself. Even things you may not be the best at....Talk like you are. Being really good at a job only takes 50% skill. The rest is up to your pesonality and confidence! (of course there are some exceptions to the rule i.e brian surgeon.

Good Luck and relax. You will do great!

Re: Finally have an Interview!!!!

My interview went really well, they asked me to come back next week for a third final interview (to meet the Partners). I'm so excited, I did a lot better than I thought I would. Once I met them, I was more relaxed. They didn't want me to leave, they said they liked talking to me so much.
