1. Know what you’re going to wear before the day of the interview. Try it on, be sure it’s clean, buttons replaced, ironed, shoes are shined. All this shows you care about your image. And alleviates last minute problems the day of the interview.
2. Show up at an appropriate time, only about 5 to 10 minutes early. Too early looks weird and as if you can’t manage your time. And obviously too late looks like you can’t get somewhere on time. You may want to drive to the location the day before to be sure you know where it is, where to park, any construction or detours that may slow you down, etc. This alleviates stress and frustration the day of your interview.
3. Know the name of the person you’re actually interviewing with.
4. Be nice to the receptionist. Sometimes employers will go out and ask how you treated the receptionist. (We actually did this at my company!)
5. Turn off your cell phone. The employer doesn’t want you to have interruptions during the interview.
Bandito’s – mmmm that’s a good burrito
- Bandito – Burritos and Cervesa within a 3 minute walk
I’m a sucker for a good burrito as my waistband will attest.
One of my favorite places is Bandito’s on Main Street. It’s within a 3 min walk of our building. The bean burrito is my favorite it’s HUGE — and you get out of there for like $5.
Not to mention the staff is pretty cool as well. I’m starting to become a regular and they’re starting to anticipate my orders before I even sit down.
So long story short – good food, great people and another cool spot to step out to when working @ Office Space Coworking.
The Towpath Trail
Towpath Trail - Great Views Right Downtown
I’ve worked in suburbia for so long, I forgot how much I loved working downtown. The more I go exploring over lunch time or just when I need a walk to clear my head, the more I fall in love with the city.
Earlier this week, I ambled down by the ball park and discovered the Towpath Trail runs right next to it.
