Hi all I have a job interview tomorrow for an intermediate analayst position with a publishing company. It's my first interview in months. Getting this job would mean I could stay in my apartment and not have to downsize radically and move into shared accomodation.

I have the technical skills and industry background that they're looking for, according to the interviewer what the interview is all about is looking at soft skills - communication, team player, likeability etc. If I feel comfortable in an interview I have no problem with that, if I'm nervous I shut down and appear very anti social and shy. So I have to do everything I can to not be nervous.

Trying to not get my hopes up.

Thanks everybody - I knew from my recruiter that "soft" skills and communication skills were really important in this interview - that's why they've rejected other candidates, so on my way to the interview I kept repeating "I am likeable, I am friendly, I have lots of friends IRL and On-line, Remember to smile a lot." LOL at the last one.

I think the interview went ok - or at least I don't think I screwed anything up too badly, I remembered to smile and make eye contact with both interviewers. I was able to answer most questions pretty easily. I had a really good answer to what is your weakness, that my recruiter had suggested I use. They didn't ask about the gaps in my resume or why I had left any of my previous positions.

I called my recruiter and she said a couple of things were positive - that the interview had lasted close to an hour, and that they'd told me who the interviewers were for the second round of interviews. She says they normally don't do that if they're not interested in you.

So I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get called back for a second interview.

Sounds like it went very well, especially your being told who the interviewers if there is to be a second round. That information is only disclosed when interviewers are keen on their candidate. I'm glad you kept eye contact. That actually is a major +. Fingers crossed for your second interview.

All right, splitimage! You've done all you can do ... Your best. I'm feeling so good for you. I hope things go well.
