I don't have any embarassing moments during my interview because most of them were just... not embarrasing o_O but I've got lots of tips on interviews because I asked around alot (as I am a Co-OP student as well). So I'll coin these tips in a more of a term of co-op.

1. They already know you're here for the "learning experience" so don't over do that part... WE ALL KNOW IT ALREADY! But what will impress them more is to show your interest in the field and that you've already have qualities that you will be adding to their company as an improvment.

2. Know what the company is about - alot of employers are not very impressed how sloppy some co-op students are showing up in interview and not knowing what the job/company is about. Not only that, it just dosn't make you look proffessional at all and it still makes you look like a "kid" in the end. Not to mention they will believe that's about how much interest you're having in the job itself.

3. Depending on the job, if it's communicative (that you have to know how to speak ethicly and that you can just talk to others) they may leave you hangin' dry there for about a minute in just nothing is happening. Don't think that it means you didn't answer your previous question correctly or not elborately enough. Feel free to ask them if they want more details or if they have any more questions.

4. In an interview where you have more than one person evaluating you, make sure you acknologe their presence. Who knows, the guy that isn't doing the talking sitting in the corner can be the boss for all you know.

5. Don't coin yourself down to the tasks of the job in question - show that you're open to other challenges as well so if you at least don't land this job, they may still consider you up for another job that may pop up a few days later.

6. Also avoid words such as "umm.." and "like" - it's ok just to pause and ASK for time to think over about the question (just not over a minute please... nothing to long). If you can't think of an answer to a question just ask them if you can answer it later on the interview (don't worry, they usualy let you) and if you get lucky, the time just might run out before you get to answer their silly question anyways ^_^! BUT DO CONSIDER IT TO BE ANSWERED!... don't just cross your fingers for the time to run out on ya!

ok I need to pack up now to get my butt out of my co-op job area term is ending so fast!
