I found this interviewing article on the Young Money website under the career advice for college students section. People used to tell me in grade school to visualize myself acing an exam in a very relaxing atmosphere. I would usually do that for about a minute before going and injuring myself attempted to race my bike at break-neck speeds. I think it helped in the long run though, mentally, and I'm sure it applies to interviewing as well. I remember getting this magazine every couple of weeks in the IDS at Indiana University, and it was always slightly entertaining. I'm sure many of you have seen it if many of you read the school paper. I like how they emphasize entrepreneurship, which isn't stressed enough around college students...unless you are a business student. It's important though, and I think there are many people with tons of potential and leadership skills that could run a business. Work for someone else for a few years to learn about how business really goes down, and then have a go at it. I think you become more responsible this way to minimize the risk that comes with running a business (80% of businesses fail before 3 years pass). It all starts with interviewing though. Get that first J-O-B (that's so lame when people do that, breaking down a 3 letter word is insulting to me). So, visualize yourself dominating an interview for a minute before riding a bike at break neck speeds or doing whatever you do.
