I second this.
Go get 'em, girl!
Good luck!
The best advice I could give is don't over-rehearse. If you've done your homework it will show - don't try to remember scripted answers, just relax and be yourself.

Not that I have this wealth of interviewing experience but I totally agree with everyone saying to just be yourself and talk to these people naturally as you would to anyone else. Approach it like a conversation at a dinner party (without being drunk of course)
With your expertise and sharp wit, not to mention a handful of red, white, and black confetti, you've got this thing nailed!

Three words. WE WERE THERE.
Thanks for reminding me about the confetti Sparkie.
As I've said elsewhere -
Hair dyed - check. New skirt, shirt, earrings and shoes - check. Questions to ask interviewer - check. Extra resumes - check. Recog mission to find correct parking lot - check.
Shots of tequila to go to sleep tonight - check.
Oh dear.
You'll nail it.
Go Shoes!!! Thinking of ya today!! Good luck!!

Hey funkyles, are you sure that wasn't an imposter you met?
Shoes, GOOD LUCK!
You know you've got more than what it takes to get, and do, that job. Just convey that to them.
I think I nailed it - now comes the waiting. Some not so great news - it's a 3AM to noon shift. Guess I'm never going to have a regular 9-5 job.
day drinking is fun...
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

Look at the bright side:
No rush hour traffic jams
Off work early enough to still do stuff during the day
If you stop for a donut on the way to work it will be fresh from the oven
3 am start time = plenty of time to steal coworkers cool pens before they come in.
You will be wide awake at 9 am watching all the suckers drag their asses in to start their day.
When you leave at 12, everyone stuck there until 5pm will give you the stink eye. HAHA SUCKERS!!!

Oh I've done the 3Am thing before - and the midnight thing too. I'll live.
Glad you're OK with it... the 6AM-3PM thing still gets to me and it's been a few years now...
Shit, those would be my dream hours. I leave the house at 6:45 AM and walk back through the door 12 hours later. Ahh commuting.
Oh, I've got one of those too...which is why I leave the house at 5:20...usually only ends up being 11 hours total though, I usually get home before 5PM.
Here's hoping the wait ends with good news, Shoes~!
blow meI'm not sure competent spelled wrongly is the best part of that sentence, kind of cold unless you are writing a reference for her

morning drive!I think I nailed it - now comes the waiting. Some not so great news - it's a 3AM to noon shift. Guess I'm never going to have a regular 9-5 job.
we may quit the rotating and go to fixed shifts...i am heavily considering taking third. i'm tired of having to deal with the office idiots during the day.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Great news Shoes! I'm crossing my fingers for you gal! <3I think I nailed it - now comes the waiting. Some not so great news - it's a 3AM to noon shift. Guess I'm never going to have a regular 9-5 job.
Told ya I was comin' back... Say you missed me... Say it like ya mean it!
Great news Shoes - keeping my fingers crossed!! At least your hours won't interfere with shows! Keep us posted!I think I nailed it - now comes the waiting. Some not so great news - it's a 3AM to noon shift. Guess I'm never going to have a regular 9-5 job.
Stay Frosty!
THE DAY IS DONZO LET'S HAVE SOME FUNZO!!
Holy crap ESP lady - just scrolled up and saw that I wrote exactly what you did - and it's not even a gig night. It's getting stronger!
The best advice I can give you is be yourself. I know that sounds cliche, but in the long run, sometimes the best job is the one you never did get, even though at the time you wanted it.
Once you are true to yourself and work hard, that job will find you and you will be so much happier.
You think you know what the employer is looking for, but what if he was looking for you, and you were pretending to be someone else?

Hmmmm....do you think these means something??? You are the shrink, right....tell me what this means....I need to know :-)Holy crap ESP lady - just scrolled up and saw that I wrote exactly what you did - and it's not even a gig night. It's getting stronger!
That and reading and paying attention to details like dates and stuff...
Got my fingers crossed for you Shoes!!! Although, sounds like the hours might interfere with your Roth Army time...
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
Well... how did it go?

Steven Tyler is keeping his toes crossed for you Shoes.
It went very well - I learned more about what they want and need and they found out that I could be a liberal if I tried. They were concerned that I had worked briefly for a Fox affiliate - which I tried to explain was not the same thing as Fox News. Once I said Local Television had gone to hell, they were right on board with me. They liked that we spoke pretty much the same technical language. My answer that I was not the least bit intimidated by a mic or a camera seemed to satisfy them that I had only done voicework briefly.
I have to say I'm kind of intimidated by the level of intelligence of the interviewers - manifested mostly in all the big words they like to use. It's probably not true, but the learning curve involved in turning myself into a morning drive host for "Morning Edition" is, to say the least, a bit daunting.
Re: Tyler - only his toes?
Hey - based on your posts (since we've never actually met...yet), you're no dummy yourself! If you got this far in the interview process, chances are you've got the credentials and the brains, and they just wanna make sure they'd like to have you around and that it's a good fit personality-wise. You'll kick ass on air - just pretend you're talking to all of us!It went very well - I learned more about what they want and need and they found out that I could be a liberal if I tried.

Exactly what she said!
No psychobabble needed here - very simple - great minds think alike!!
Thank you everyone - it is so important to have you all weigh in. Kinda like family, unconditional love. Except Elbow.
It's a Roth Army group hug for Shoes....
Firstly, Elvis? Shut the fuck up, loser.
Secondly, Congrats Shoes! I have all the confidence in the world that it will work out for ya!
I am in a similar situation.
Though I am sorta waiting for the right shift.
Found a job listing last week. Contacted the staffing agency. Job is electronics work. Pay is less than what I was making, but is a contract gig with possibility of direct hire after awhile.
Recruiter has to fill 5 positions still on 3rd shift. I told him I pretty much had to have 1st, and he is cool with that. Told me to just hang on until he is given the go-ahead to hire for first-shift positions, and we are communicating back and forth. If I absolutely need to start working NOW, I can always do third shift. I stay up every night until 6 AM anyway. But enough about my situation.
I am happy for ya.
GET DAT JOB, BABY!
I think it's important to not get too down about job interviews if you don't get them because you don't always know what is going on with the other candidates. It may be just by your bad luck an amazing person has also applied or more often someone internal has been earmarked for the post and they are just going through the motions.
That one has happened to me once where I thought I had done really well and then in the afternoon they took all the applicants around the place and everywhere we went one guy was hailed like Norm in Cheers. 'Hey Dave how you doin' that was a hell of a night last Wednesday' kind of thing. Needless to say I never got it.
I'm not being negative here just sayin' keep your chin up if it's not to be.
Oh and BTW...
Get a flu vaccine...
Drink high fructose corn poison...
Take Prozac and adderall...
Drink heavy...
Eat fast food six times daily...
Avoid exercise and sleep...
Sleep with the boss before you get fatter...
Smoke cigarettes...
Replace your brake fluid with water...
And add "positive attitude" to your signature...
Knock 'em dead, kid...
Glad to hear it went well for you Shoes!! Hoping you get a call-back or better yet... an offer!!
Ignore him - ELBOW's just a miserable hack who shows up here to rip on others so he feels better about himself - being an unemployed trailerpark in the swamp-dweller on welfare and all.
Why do you fucking have to lie so much ??
Is that a side effect of tacos and hair conditioner ??
Pretend you're talking to me and it might get funny and interesting...You'll kick ass on air - just pretend you're talking to all of us!
But if you take the politically correct, play nice road, you'll end up as another here today, gone tomorrow talentless nobody and they'll never even remember your name...
You can thank me later...
Make that pay me later, because I can't write your material for free...
We don't talk to people like you on the air. We hang up on 'em.
