Okay,
this is it . . .
You have arrived on time. In fact, you are early. You are dressed
appropriately. You have memorized every piece of available information
regarding this company that you could lay your hands on. You have
honed your communication skills to perfection.
You know what you are looking for and what you have to offer. You
have contacted your references and they are ready and prepared to
come to your aid. You have your "Thank you" cards ready with postage
stamps affixed. You have all the necessary items with you (résumés,
pad of paper, pens, prepared questions, etc.), and you have a winning
attitude.
Like an actor preparing for a theater performance . . . after the
makeup artist, the lighting manager, the stage director, and the
choreographer have done their part, and after the actor (you) is
comfortable that he or she has learned their lines and has gained
confidence . . . opening night comes and the actor steps out on
the stage confident that he or she is ready to put into action all
that he or she has learned in preparation for this
moment.
Break a leg and knock em' dead!
Good luck with your job search!
