Well I have my first big interview for a job coming up next week along with two killer tests. I have an interview with GE Aircraft. I think it would be pretty awesome to work for them, so hopefully I can nail this interview and get an offer from them. Why does everything seem to come about at the same time.

nice!

I just got a promotion that i interviewed for and ill be taking over my bosses old job. I think it helps to not smile too much and act as if the job would be a challenge and a piece of cake to tackle at the same time.

The book Rich Dad, Poor Dad says it all. You should check it out.

The tell me about yourself one is like a definite, and I need to come up with a good answer. I just found out today that I also have an interview with GE Lighting next week too. I was really interested in Bendix and Good Year today at the career fair.

I just had an interview today for a Defense sector M&A job, pretty neat stuff. Interviews make me nervous, especially when the person interviewing you is an unbelievably cocky 30 year old wearing a $20,000 watch who advises the President on defense procurement for a living...lol.

3) where do you see yourself in 2/5/10 years

Never answer this question by saying, in five years I see myself doing your job.

But, good luck.

haha, I'd stay away from that answer. Don't try to make yourself sound too rehearsed. Be prepared, but don't sound like your reading a script or something. Good luck man.

Tell him in 5 years you see yourself doing his daughter. In 10 years, maybe his wife.
