So, I just got a phone call and an email message from Brave New Media (looking at their portfolio and comments they've designed stuff for Malt-o-Meal, WB, and other things), a design firm with offices in Minnesota, California, and Greece. They want to interview me tomorrow. I just turned in my resume yesterday. Now, I know that they're most-likely rushing this interview because it's Thanksgiving week and not because of my skill but I'm still nervous.
I've never had experience working in an office environment (I've had some fairly light clerical duties) and yet they're willing to see if I do have the balls to work for their firm. I'm so nervous about it because they seem so big and intimidating, and the woman who I talked to seemed like the no-play-just-work kind and I'm so hoping that I don't mess it up somehow. But this could be the break I'm looking for; it would officially make my weeks 35-40 hour work weeks.
Soooooooooooooooo Neeeehhhhhhrrrrrvvvvoooooouuussssseeee.

stare *grumble grumble* Gahh...lucky! You've got an interview!
*Puts jealous, bitchy, grumpy self in a corner*
Ahhh, I swear I'm not a raging crazy...not really. sweatdrop I've just been job hunting for ages, and I'd kill to have an interview. That's where I always do my best. When I meet someone face to face, I usually make a good impression.
You'll be fine. Everybody has to start out somewhere. If you want my advice, just be yourself and be honest. Show them how much you want the job, and that you're willing to work hard and learn from your experiences there. You'll be fine. They want to interview you because something on your resume grabbed them and made them go, "We need to talk to this person face to face." So now it's your chance to show them that in person.
You'll do great. Good luck wink

Congratulations on getting an interview and good luck to actually get through it. I'm sure you'll do well. Everyone's gets nervours about interviews. smile
When I applied for my first job, I went in to hand in my resume and they asked me to come back the next day for an interview. Mind, a check out job really doesn't compare to what you're going for but it was my first ever interview for my first ever job so I was as nervous as hell.

Interviews aren't new to me at all, but this is the first time that I've felt really really nervous about it. I mean, I'm capable of doing teacher interviews, but I feel a bit fish-out-of-water with this one because it's a clerical position. Not that it's that difficult or anything; I'm essentially doing clerical and secretarial duties. But it's something new.

Bastards.
I wouldn't do that for 11 USD/hour.

You'll do perfectly fine, Kasu. I feel nervous like that every time they call for a random personnel inspection here on base. I get all shaky and crap. It's difficult to know exactly what to say and do just as it's hard to keep your uniform straight, pressed, and squared away at all times. -_-; I feel you. stressed

The person I'm working for is a female. talk2hand
Lots of money would need to be paid for that kind of thing, Jafty.
As for the interview it went swimmingly. Though I was: a) way overdressed -- everyone dressed casual (not business casual but casual-casual) and b) probably blabbered on a bit too long. But I sounded natural and she seemed interested in me working. She said for sure I'll be called back for second round of interviews. :3
