I second the Zombie approach.. bring tangible work and examples with you.. even simply tools like the windows process killer I wrote for work.. at start up it hunts and kills processes on PC I don't want running and logs positives. Simple but seems to draw attention quickly.

Much like other facets of life, and yes the opposite sex, it is about confidence. Not as much cockiness but being confident in what you say and how you say it. Interviewing is so much like a first date.. jittery might be cute.. but it is confidence that will bring it home.

I was pretty nervous about the phone interview, but after today, there are several other promising jobs that are more intriguing. I really want that GBPD position, that just screams Kevin all over it, well, other than it being a Police Department.

I worked at a company that got bought out once and they laid us all off. After laying us off, the company that bought us out actually paid for consultants to help us find work. A lot of folks didn't take advantage of their services but you can get your hiney I did. They helped me write my resume, plus had me do fake interviews where they actually videotaped me and told me what I did right and what I did wrong.

This is something you don't have to do with a professional. You can do it with a friend. (But of course it was nice to work with a professional).

Seriously, if you want to get good at playing the piano, practice several hours every day. If you want to get good at interviewing, then practice interviewing with a friend. It really makes a big difference. By the time I started interviewing, it was really easy.

I AM!

Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent.

Again, from memory. Seriously.

Skip the code, memorize them, aspire to live 'em. Walk into an interview with 'em in the back of your mind. You will be confident.

Home run every time. Keep the Sandusky-types out the Boy Scouts, a fine way to roll...

Went through the let go, job search process almost 4 years ago in the depth of the high unemployment. I can't count how many resumes I sent out, any and all jobs I could find whether I completely filled the requirements of not. With so many companies only accepting resumes and applications online, and using programs to search for keywords to do the first weeding of applicants, how and what resume's say is extremely important.

One thing I was told when I first got out of the service and returned to private life was to remember. Every time you interview and do not get the job, is one interview closer to the job you will get.

I would also suggest, with web design and programming experience, look into starting a business for it. I started my own pc service business when i was out, almost 18 months, and while not enough to support my family and replace the job I lost, it helped. And when I did get the full time job, I am still able to run it on the side as a fall back if something would happen in the future.

Like yourself, I started my own business couple months ago. I had one client so far. With all the calls I'm fielding and interviews, I just don't have time to get out and connect with small businesses right now. I'm hoping with the abundance of calls and what not, it means I'll land a job sooner than later.

I was told if I don't land a job before Thanksgiving, my next hope would be late January at the earliest.
