Job Interview tomorrow during my lunch break at current job

(1/6) > >>

Plano:
Hello all, long time no talk!

Tomorrow (In NYC), I have a job interview with a really good company (a dot com company). I am taking the interview on my lunch break from my current job which really isn't as it was initially described to me.

Does anyone out there have any tips or tricks on nailing interviews? I think of myself as pretty decent at interviews, but I've had so few, so I was just curious if anyone had any insight. This job is in the sales sector, and though I've wanted to get out of sales, this seems like a very good opportunity. (If anyone knows of any other jobs out there in the NYC area, let me know, of course)

Also, related, but not an issue, I have a decent sized cut on my head from a snow removal fiasco over the weekend here in NY, show up with a bandage or just let the sore show and say it was from losing a knife fight with a monkey?

Any and all responses are welcomed!

Sir Harry:
Two big things: Maintain eye contact with the interviewer and be sure to thank them for their time at the end of the interview. If you maintain eye contact, I don't think they'll notice/care about the cut on your head. Good luck!

P.S. Unless the cut is still bleeding, I would NOT wear a bandage; it might attract unwanted attention. But if you must wear one, wear one that is just enough to cover the wound. (You could always say you underwent surgery if you need a good lie)

b.driscoll:
  Be truthful....................no bullshit. Eye contact and answer questions directly without going ''off the rails''.

Frontier Guy:
Agreed ... Eye contact, sincere and genuine. Tell about how you can benefit the company, ask questions about the interviewer or company to show your interest. Good manners - these days especially - will often put you above many other candidates.

Good luck ... glad to see you back here, was wondering what had happened to you.

-Doug-:
Follow up the interview with thank you letters to each member of the panel. Also, make sure that each one is a little different.
