Two bits of two-bit application advice

One, don’t eat spicy food the evening before an interview. I generally like spicy food and ate some good, very spicy Thai food with a friend the evening before an interview with a placement firm. Normally it is no problem, but I guess nerves being what they are, I kept feeling a “fire down below” during the interview process, and this was on a very cold winter morning. The office I was in was floor to ceiling glass windows on one side with some degree of condensation on it, so you would think the extra “heat” I was packing would have been welcomed by me. Not really. But don’t worry, I did not make unwanted noises or odors. But I was relieved when the interview was over and the “fire down below” began subsiding.

Two, make copies of the answers to the written questions you are asked. I have made several applications online, and the information used on one online application can generally be used in other applications. At least for me, it saves having to completely re-engineer an answer. It also gives you a chance to review what you wrote and possibly improve on it the next time around.
