- Layers are good, originality is good.
- Pants: no shorts, tank tops or spaghetti strings.
- Piercings okay, tattoos, depends on the tattoo.

* Focus on 5 companies whose attention you want the most
o Find a company listing and choose wisely
o Use your "original idea" on those 5 companies
o Bring at least 30 copies of your resume for everyone else
* Dress up your resume
o Look it over with a friend for spelling mistakes
o If you have access to free or low-cost resume review, take advantage of it
* Practice, Practice, Practice
o "whatareyougonnadowiththat" ninjas are everywhere. Be prepared. Be a pirate.
* Finally: The List!
o 3 things you're very good at
o 3 cool things you've done in school or at work
o 3 questions about the company - it shows you're not just passing out your resume.
o A great question - "Tell me about a need at your company you think I could fill."

Episode Three – What Now
Show Notes:
Thanks to Jean in California!
* Like dating, you don't want to seem too needy.
* Try to set a schedule for the next step before you leave the interview.
* E-mail your interviewer the same day and thank them, or call them if you don' t have their e-mail.
* Call back one week after your interview. Traditionally, more rejection happens after 11 AM than before.
* If you still haven't heard back, call back again one week after your first try. If you don't hear back after that, it wasn't meant to be.
