[olug] interview

[John DiMartino]

I have had a couple of interviews lately and I can tell you one thing 
for sure:

Be CONFIDENT not POMPOUS.  I was so excited about one of the jobs that I 
kept saying how perfect I was for the job and I was made for it.  I 
didn't mean it like I am a perfect person, but looking back I realized 
that is how it probably came off.  I felt like a real idiot after that 
interview and I never got a call back.

The next interview I went in confident and cheery but not too much of 
either and I landed that internship.
