I would be VERY grateful and would HIGHLY appreciate it for your help. I REALLY need this job!!!
Thanx!!
My first question is: Are you qualified for this position? You must be if they reviewed your resume and offered you an interview. The best advice I can give you is DO NOT let them know how bad you need this job. No employer wants to hire someone needy. Research the company, you may be able to use that information in the interview: comment or compliment them on a recent development or accomplishment. Hiring professionals are impressed with your advance research. Dress impeccably- professional- CLEAN, neat tailored suit- no wrinkles and polished shoes. They WILL look at your shoes. If you ARE qualified, ACT like it! If you don’t have the confidence: pretend you do. You may be looking for a job, they are looking for a solution. Be their solution.
