im nervous too, just got a call from one of the jobs i have applied
he called and asked if i were still interested in that position
i say of course of course....so he said will have to prepare to call me again to
arrange a phone interview with me ..hum....im starting to feel nervous..
cuz i thought they wouldn't call cuz it's been over a week already..wowo.
i really wish that i could be hired by this company by the end of this year
im so sick of where im working at right now..been here for 4 1/2 years.
so looking foward to have a change...

good luck on the jooooeeeerrrb interview!

Best of luck to you! I just went through one last week and have another this Friday. Go in with the attitude that you already have that job locked away. In otherwords, confident, but not arrogant.

1st i will have a phone interview

i m nervous because i hate questions like..what do you see yourself be doing in 5 years?
stuff like that..you know...... like why do you want to leave your current job?
Can I tell the truth? i mean like can i say cuz of the money..can't move up anywhere in this company cuz it's a family business..Can i tell the truth?
any ideas? pls post to help a little anandter here
i only had two job interviews in my life.

I would be as honest as possible if I were you. I left a Illustration job to go do another Illustration job. They asked and I told them basically the truth. The company i was working for sucked, but here is what i said: 'I am looking to leave because the pay would be better as well as it seems to be more of the line of work i am looking for. As well as the advancement opportunities.'

Of course this probably wouldn't work if you were doing the EXACT same job as you were before just with a different company and the pay wasn't much better.

be honest, but sugarcoat it. See TravisT's response for a good way to sugarcoat that you hate your company.

Also, right down answers for all of the questions you expect. Then practice giving the answer. Of course, don't read the answers during the interview, what this is doing is preparing yourself to answer the questions. Also, write down some of your own questions, nothing I hate worse than asking "So do you have any questions for me?" and the answer is "Nope".

sounds good..
currently im doing sales in a wholesale company
interview will be about a position in a call centre as a customer service rep
it's going to be better money with better benefits
