Excellent advice thus far!
One thing I NEVER EVER do.......(sorry Irish)........is fill in the space....or divulge in any way.........my current or expected salary base. When I'm asked why.....and I always am.....I reply, "If I tell you what I make or would like to make.......and it's less than what you are willing to pay...I've cut my nose off to spite my face...now haven't I"? They usually get a chuckle from this and then tell me their "starting salary" rate....to which we can always negotiate and/or accept or turn down!
Oh....and one other thing.........and this is truly important! Never lie......always give a firm handshake (even if it's a woman who conducts the interview)......and always look them straight in the eye (after you have thought about their question and you're ready to give your answer)! OK....that was three things.....but they go hand in hand! LOL!
Good Luck Sweety!
LMAO@TeddyBear and her spinach answer! But while you're checking for that....cup your hand over your mouth and puff into the palm.........and get a Tic-Tac!!!! Oh geezzzzz!
