Good luck man! Hope you get it.

thanks all, I'm very hopeful! It would definitely be a step forward in my career which I have been wanting/needing.

Heath, when you hit the big times and start making 6 figures..can i have a dollar?

Nate, I'll mail you a dollar but I'm taking the postage cost out of it!

The salary range I was told today wasn't 6 digits but its definitely on the downward slide towards it!

I wish you luck in getting the job! How exciting!

more thanks to everyone! This is really the "step up" I need, I've gotten to the point where work is just that...a daily grind. The majority of the time now I'm away from the other guys who helped make it fun.

Anyway any last minute tips? I've interviewed plenty but I won't spat at any simple reminders! I tweaked and updated my portfolio so that should be good to go. After hearing the salary range yesterday I decided I needed to go all out and get a sport coat/suit jacket whatever you want to call them :P I went out to an S&K at lunch and a lady talked me into a jacket and matching pants. I wasn't expecting to spend so much but its all good I don't have to many clothes of that caliber. I have to run out here in a minute to pick it all up after the "custom" fitting adjustments are done. The only weird thing I'm worried about here is I don't exactly have a nice long coat to go with suit type clothing...and we are getting hammered with snow. Any ideas? go without? where my usual non-professional looking winter coat? --ya weird thing to be concerned about but every detail is of concern at this point LOL!

As someone that has interviewed, hired, and fired many many people I can offer you this ...

1. Don't smell ... if I can smell you (BO, breath, smelly hands, etc) you're cooked.

2. Be relaxed and friendly ... the interviewer doesn't want to be there even more than you don't, so being a bore will make it even more miserable.

3. If you're asked a question and don't know the answer, don't struggle, BS, or stall ... just say that you don't know.

4. Show that you want to do well and help the company succeed ... what you know is secondary.

5. Don't try and play it cool .. if you're super excited by the opportunity, show them that ... it will help ... eager is a good thing.

6. Be honest.

7. Don't worry about the winter coat ... IT people aren't generally know for being fashion bugs. ;)

Good luck ... smile, smile, smile!!! :D
