I had an interview with a magazine here last Friday. I get there at the interview time, on the dot, just to have the editor come out and tell me that we have to reschedule to Monday.
Monday rolls around and I get an email that her boss would rather have his Monday evening open, so could I come back Wednesday? So I agreed. Today is the day. Hopefully it's been worth the stress and anxiety.
I have never had an interview before. I guess sometimes things just happen this way.

Sucks that you've never had an interview before though. It's something that you definitely get better at with practice.

Just relax and try to learn as much as you can about the company and the position. Try to explain how/why you'd be perfect for the job. Good luck!

If they reschedule again screw em. You do not want to work for someone that doesn't respect your time at all.

Agreed, if they push you like this before hiring, imagine what it will be like after you start working there. The "Having his monday evening open" excuse would have been it for me.

I agree. But this is the last chance. I just confirmed that I should still come in today. Personally, I don't think they will hire me, or even consider me. But a friend gave them my resume, and they contacted me 10 minutes later. So I dunno.
I don't really have a portfolio. Just stuff I have done at work. I think it's going to be very short and sweet. You are not what we are looking for. ThanksKBye

you sure aren't going to get hired with that attitude. An interview is about selling yourself, if you aren't confident you can do well at this job then don't even go.
