I've lost my mojo!...

So, I think it's fairly safe to say that I'm now 0-3 with my interviews. This is new ground for me, my previous record being 2-1 (and the 1 didn't even count since they were looking for a writer, I assume they were on crack when they called me in). However, as one put it...it just means there's something better out there. How true. Yesterday I got two more interviews, both of which I'm very excited about. Any good interviewing tips?

You bet! Walk in like you own the place! You may be shaking in your shoes, but that's only because you are a mover and a shaker....and don't ever forget it. No matter how you you discribe this job IT IS SALES...SO SELL IT.
Who said you weren't a writer? You are clever, to the point, and know your stuff...pitch the writing. That's what they want!

Hmmm, does my blog count as 'extensive writing experience'? :-D I might have something there...

Thanks for the advice, I'm meeting up with a potential freelance client after work and have an interview tomorrow morning. Eeek...wish me luck!

interviewing advice??? sure...bring in a picture of all those starving children who were being saved by that website you did for some charity organization. and, tell the interviewer: "look at these children. if you don't give me this job, all of these children will starve." nothing like a little guilt trip to win a job interview!
