“Relax. You will become an adult. You will figure out your career. You will find someone who loves you. You have a whole lifetime; time takes time. The only way to fail at life is to abstain.”
—Johanna de Silentio
“It is okay to be at a place of struggle. Struggle is just another word for growth. Even the most evolved beings find themselves in a place of struggle now and then. In fact, struggle is a sure sign to them that they are expanding; it is their indication of real and important progress. The only one who doesn’t struggle is the one who doesn’t grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as a terrific sign — celebrate your struggle.”
—Neale Donald Walsch

-
Research the company.
If you are really serious about the position you are interviewing for, researching the company is a must. Nothing looks worse than a prospective employee who doesn’t know the background facts. Do your homework by reading up on the company’s history and mission statement, and keep a running list of questions you’d like to ask your interviewer as you go. -
Update your resume.
Double check that your resume is up to date, and make sure it looks clean and tidy. I recommend printing at least three copies on linen resume paper. Using thick, expensive paper will leave a lasting impression on the company, and it will make your resume feel important.
