This was a big show!  Here’s the show notes for today’s show: 2/18/2009

Things for Millennials to Do Before You Graduate
- Look up median/average salary of your chosen profession (Google)
- Nab up your own Gmail address (Firstname.LastName@gmail.com)
- Have your resume reviewed by a career counselor
- Go out and buy some interview clothes
- Compile an online portfolio amazing things you did.

Tiffany in Colorado asked: How do I “Dress Casual” for an interview?
- Make sure to shower.
- Button up shirt is still a good idea, even if it is just an overshirt.
- Layers are good, originality is good.
- Pants: no shorts, tank tops or spaghetti strings.
- Piercings okay, tattoos, depends on the tattoo.
- No mention of the Prince – (unless you’re interviewing to become a porn star).

• Dress up your resume
  • Look it over with a friend for spelling mistakes
  • If you have access to free or low-cost resume review, take advantage of it
• Practice, Practice, Practice

• Finally: The List!
  • 3 things you’re very good at
  • 3 cool things you’ve done in school or at work

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.

• Prioritize to meet the most important deadlines.  Some things just aren’t that important.
• Be honest about what you can deliver and ask for help when you need it.
• Take up crack cocaine.  It makes your teeth extra white.
• Know your limitations – there are trade-offs to everything.
