Scored an interview!!! WOOT!!

[Killer]

Ok, so i scored an interview with wireless expo in dawsonville. i know the owner, and he talked to his store manager (actually the interview will be in blue ridge.. but the store hiring is in dawsonville)

either way, i know i need to dress to impress/shave/prolly should take out my earrings (they are studs but still)...

now they already have my resume and my application... and i did ask if i should bring anything else and they said they didn't need anything.

but what do you guys think.. is there anything extra i should be prepared for??

and the store i will be interviewing in is in a small town.. but the store i will be working in is not...

as far as dressing to impress.... how decked out should i go?? dress pants/shirt/tie/shoes.... or maybe wear a vest or something to jazz it up a bit more??

i guess what i'm asking is can you over dress for an interview??

[Scotsman]

bring your own pen and congrats bro!

thanks man!! i appreciate it!!!

You can never overdress at an interview. Better to impress than to disappoint.
Looks are part of the overall first impression.

i figure an all out suit could be too much... only because the job wouldn't require wearing one...

but i'll prolly rock dress pants/shirt/vest/tie..

[AirMax95]

Suit, pen, pad/portfolio, extra resume or 2

[Killer]

they told me i didn't need an extra resume...

pad/portfolio??? like a note pad??

[LeGeNdaRyLeGeNd]

Exactly what airmax said. Thats what I wore to my QT interview and i got my call back to work today

[ironchef]

they told me i didn't need an extra resume...

pad/portfolio??? like a note pad??Doesn't matter that they said that. Bring one anyway, cause you know someone there will obviously lose it.

[Sammich]

where a nice pair of dress pants, not just some khakis, dress pants, nice pressed shirt and tie. like was said, pen and pad wouldnt hurt

[Killer]

alright.. will do..

now onto the pad/portfolio...

you mean like a notepad/notebook, folder/ 3 prong binder, small, planner? i'm a bit confused on that.

Like this, but the calculator is not a must. It will come in handy past the interview also. Use it to keep paperwork and stuff, and adds to a professional "I mean business" look.

USE IT..UNLESS U HAVE ONE OF THOSE LARGER LEATHER PORTFOLIO/FOLDER TYPE DEALS. I HAVE ONE, BUT ITS HOME.

Put your MySpace page on private, change your default pic to something other than you holding a blunt and change your quote to "Jesus is my savior!"

lol, i'm golden as far as my facebook/myspace go.. lol.. thanks though.

Its possible to overdress for any occasion, including an interview. Its important to dress nicely, but not so nice as to look as if you dont need the job. Black is generally reserved for positions of power, something you might not want to portray at an interview. Chances are you want to leave the 1 button suits, timex watch, and necklaces all at home. grab a decent pen, and paper and head out.

[Killer]

yeah i won't be wearing anything flashy or jewelry..

as far as dress goes.. honestly all i have is black!! lol shoes/pants/tie/vest but my shirt is a darker maroon/reddish color..

or i may go with a blue shirt/gold tie...

The black reference was mostly for suits. The black 'power suit' lol. Most interviews are not a fashion show, and most Americans (business men included) dress like hell anyways. So chances are your not really going to make an impression with how you dress (a good thing probably), unless you way over the top or dressed like bum (which doesn't sound like the case).

Black slacks and blue shirt, cant go wrong there. Same with the maroon, both very common. Good luck man! Also look into nonverbal communication ( body language) for interviews, its kinda interesting. there are some easy to remember tips like: lean forward a little, dont cross your legs. That kind of stuff. Oh and by no means am i claiming to be some expert, lol :D

[blaknoize]

Fuk an interview tip, just be yourself, if you have the personality to match then it always works. I apparently just wow'd my rep at rht and he is pushin me through the process to try and get work.

So just do ur thing and dont sweat to much... idk why I do lol, but we all pullin for u

Exactly....seen it to many times when they ask you "you wouldnt happen to have an extra resume...secretary misplaced it" and your like :no:

[gtikid]

You'd be amazed at some of the people that work in the wireless stores. You'll be alright :goodjob:

[Killer]

well, the interview went well.. no hick-ups. got there 10 min early and was seated and started the interview right away.

The store manager seemed to have liked me. she smiled the whole time and seemed to have in general liked my replies/answers to her questions...

i was told she'd be giving my information over to the district manager and he would probably call to set up an interview...

now i could be wrong BUT i feel like that means i passed her expectations and i'm now being passed up to higher management. as opposed to just hearing "we'll get back to you"


what's ya'lls take on that???

[ironchef]

Obviously its a good thing if they want you back for another interview.

well, she said probably... that's not a guarantee... but again i feel it's better than "we'll get back to you" or something like that.

[green91]

Is wireless expo the one on 400n or the one at the outlet malls?

[Killer]

Is wireless expo the one on 400n or the one at the outlet malls?


well there are multiple locations.. there is one in Dahlonega and one at the outlet malls... most likely i'll be at the one in the outlet malls if they hire me..

[Killer]

[Sammich]

[Killer]

so...no confirmation call yet?

not yet... i was told i'd know something in 1-2 weeks...

but that he was still interested... he just likes to meet a minimum amount of interviews before hiring.. and he's not met that mark yet so...
