The interview is for a researcher position at a plastics company. They asked me to prepare a 15 minute presentation on a (scientific) topic. The presentation is finished, it's just a case of practicing it as much as I can. I also need to practice the 'regular' job interview stuff as well as refresh my knowledge of all the topics I talked about in my cover letter >_>

The annoying thing is that the company is situated a couple of hours away by train and bus, so I'll be a bit tired out already by the time I get there. Still, it can't be helped I guess

It's gonna be 100 F there on that day. I've started thinking about what to wear already. It'll be fine in the train and once I get there, but the bus ride and then the walk from the stop is gonna be hell. It's at 1pm too so the sun will be directly overhead

Good luck.

There are a few positions opening up at my workplace that would be a step up for me but thinking about going through the whole interview process makes me not want to apply, lol

Thanks!

I've been applying since Feb/March, so I'm somewhat tired of the whole thing. Just the thought of finally being financially independent is keeping me going

Mr. Jones is a role model for how you should behave at a job interview

My presentation is ready and saved onto my USB twice as a PPT and once as a PDF. I've also emailed it to myself and have a printed copy if necessary.

Do I save it onto my laptop and take my laptop with me? They did say they'd provide a laptop etc but it can't hurt, right?
