    If it hasn't been suggested yet, buy some Altoids. The really small ones. Don't go in with onion or garlic breath!

      I would also skip the suit in favor of some quality slacks and a button up shirt. I don't believe in dressing any better for the interview than you would for the job, especially an intern job. You should probably take a class or two in whatever language you're applying for too. It helps if you know how to do the job you're applying for. Hell, buy a book and subscribe to a couple of boards. Plenty of people teach themselves Java programing.

        Oh, one other thing. Don't skip breakfast that morning. I had an interview once that I ran out the door for and my stomach started growling (loudly) and continued through the whole interview. Embarrassing.

          Well, today is the big day. I've got an exam from 10-12, then I've got the interview at one. I'm not really nervous, but simply have a heightened sense of things.

            Good luck.

            Try to stay calm and I'm sure you'll do fine.

              I hope the interviewer goes all Donald Trump on his ass.

                I hope he drank some vodka or something to kill that "heightened sense of things."

                  If he hasn't picked up English by now, I don't think a semester or two of remedial grammar and writing is going to help much. :P

                    I got the job. Very surprised they told me the day of. I interviewed in the morning, then they had me come back later and fill out a slew of paper work. I am going to be making pretty good bank there for a part time gig.

                        They're both part time so I am going to work them both and maximize the most out the hours I work. On Saturdays at Sears I can get as high as 50 bucks an hour but am usually around 20, so I am going to stick with that on Sat. During the week I make next to nothing at Sears, so I am going to put in my 30 hours at the company then.

                        I'll be working about 35-40 hours a week while going to school, but I can handle it and the money is just too good. I will be able to pay my dad back completely from the loan I took out, and then get a new laptop as well. Plus I will have plenty of money for going out.
