Lining up the interview

I am trying to start 2008 off on the right foot by lining up the job interviews.  My goal for this year is to find a stable job for at least a year or until I go to grad school (if I end up going).  Tomorrow, I will have my first interview of 2008, and instead of winging it (which has proved to be highly unsucessful), I have decided to do thourough research on how best to prepare oneself for a job interview.  So far, I have skimmed articles containing typical interview questions and attempted to come up with the best way to answer such questions.  I have also devised a perfect weakness when they ask that dreaded “what is your biggest weakness” question. I will try to sound half-way confident and to present myself in a hirable way.  Hopefully, I have some success.

My next two interviews are lined up for next week.  These two interviews will be somewhat of an adventure as they will both take place in a foreign country (and possibly also in a foreign language – still unknown).  As my interview skills in my native country are not yet well developled, I am assuming that my foreign country/language interview skills leave little to be desired.  I am not going to sweat it too much.  It’s all about the adventure.  And maybe, just maybe, I might find a career path out of it.

Other than these 3 upcoming interviews, I have contacted the temp agencies I have been working for to let them know that yes, I am still looking.  For some reason, they have had no luck finding me employment.  I might, however, have an interview with some bank soon. We will have to wait to find out about that.

For now, everything is still up in the air.  2008 should be the start of something new (if I can pull myself together enough to get hired).  Hopefully, I will have a new job to brag about 3 weeks from now.
