some tips from John Homes ( JHI Agency, Richmond VA)

- Never show up to an interview without an idea or direction. Why are you here?

- The people you are interviewing for are searching for a solution to their problems - they are     asking YOU what to do, so come prepared, and with lots of ideas on hand. 

- Clients purchase thinking- not just execution.

TIPS ON GETTING "THE" JOB.

* Market yourself as you would your client. Make yourself look good! Show off what it is you can offer a company that others could not. 

* Show off your character, and enthusiasm!

* Choose who you want to work for, research the company, and come in knowing exactly who you are talking to. 

* book - "How to Effectively Be In Front of You"

* Write a letter - don't call. Send them a little taste of who you are (Leave behind, mini portfolio book)

* Less is more, keep it simple.

* have a website with more work on it they can see. 

* Don't have ANY misspellings on your resume or any printed material you send. 

* DO NOT BE LATE

* Don't be afraid to be nervous - it will happen, and your interviewer knows, and expects it. 

* Ask questions

* Send a followup thank you through the mail - have one ready, and after your interview drop it in the mail - shows you appreciate their time.
