Looking for a job

I've always found interviews to be immensly positive experiences. There's plenty of tips out there, but I'll focus on the two most important ones.

1. Get lots of sleep. You'll think faster, speak faster, and solve faster. You'll be funnier, more professional and better postured. Force yourself if you have to, but sleep.

2. Why do you want this job? Take five hours and think this through. Why do you want it? Are you good at it? Do you want the money? Are you desperate? Do you just want to pay the bills? Do you even care about what this company does? Why should these people listen to you? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
Find the source of the problem and you're 85% done. So, why do you want this job? Why are you going to this interview? Why do you not have a job already? What are you looking to gain? Are you looking to cheat someone? Are you confident of your skills? Why are you lying? Why are you selling yourself short? Why are you trying to become someone you're not? Why would you even care if you get a job? What are you happy doing? Why don't you pursue your dreams and do whatever it is you like doing better than this?


Once you have your motivations sorted, the other stuff just falls into place. You're not dumb: enthusiasm, professionalism, attentiveness etc. all those fall into place if you have your motives and enough sleep.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
