I have....any advice? I'm interviewing to work in a biotech
sort of company on friday at one and i'm very nervous...

Shower, shave, dress nicely. Smile a lot, make eye contact.
Umm......be honest but focus on your good qualities of
course.

single page resumes work best for employers so try to be as
concise as you can. NO colors, white linen paper is best!

being nervous is ok....i dunno if you have a job currently
but thats always a bonus when you're interviewing ..... all
you have to remember is i already have a job, and while i
want this job....i won't be crushed if i don't get it. this
kind of MIND set will help you relax and let your REAL self
come through.

looking people in the eye when answering questions is good
too, and don't worry about not having answers to
everything...just be honest with your answers......NO

my biggest thing when I go to a interview is play the part,
and I focus a lot on what they are doing/how they are
acting, for example if they are laid back about it and seem
relaxed an in a more informal seating position, I will
almost mimic it in a way but not totally ya know, so iam how
he is - sorta. If hes really stern and sitting their like a
washboard then you gotta be too.

I think of course everyone knows how you should present
yourself during an interview, it's just they are too nervous
I guess.

Yeah, being nervous is a baaad thing when in an interview,
but.... sometimes it never seemed to matter, especially when
I was nervous for my first job interview, got the job
anyways, so I dunno.
