im scared :(

[lostreality]

i used to work as a techie, then 2 years ago i decided to go freelance designing sites ive also designed everything from letterheads to carbadges, all was going well for a while - anyways long story short im looking at getting out of being self employed, mainly because of money worries and being self employed doesnt bring in regular income, some weeks i may take in well over £1k then other weeks nothing, and my better half has had some bad news from her local PCT which means she may or may not lose her job during the cutbacks so im looking at getting a job before it's too late - i'd rather earn a pittence and take a knock at my pride, than keep the business and lose everything.

anywho, ive applied for this job at a local web design agency, and he wants me to call him tomorrow to have a chat and a meet - and im super scared even though i am used to selling myself to board meetings and business'

im super shit scared - i really really dont want to fuck this up.

anyways i gotta change undies.

[lostreality]

yes i know my grammer is super duper fucked but i dont care, there is no spell checking facility and its the internets which is seriously serious i must take everything seriously like grammers and spllelings.

You'll be right dude. Just be confident in your work and the rest should flow. Good luck dude!

[johny_roberts]

dude you will do fine. You might be a :fag: but a loveable :fag:

Get a goodnights sleep. Call on time and show up early dressed decently not like a slob. Decide what you are going to show him and not your cock.

Good luck and kick ass....

[Elentari]

good luck with it ^_^

i wont show him my cock as he may get jealous.

he seems like a laid back kind of fella, as i actually emailed him my CV on monday, i phoned up this afternoon to try and get hold of him to see what he thought, and i was told that he was out and he has been busy for a couple of days in and out out of the office.

so i emailed him about 8pm i went to check my mail again about 2hours ago at midnight and the reply was yes he would like to meet with me and to give "him a call if i get chance" he actually mailed me back at exactly 9:19pm

is that a good sign? damn i am so nervous.

[gooey]

thats great.

if he wasnt interested - he wouldnt reply

[johny_roberts]

Excellent response. Excellent. No self doubt, no worries just slam the interview because you have the experience so kick ass and be friendly and yourself.

[rbranson]

You wouldn't do well if you didn't have some preliminary jitters.

Just trust your gut.

All the smut you posted in the last week on this site (vomiting fellatin' biatches, fecal felines, farting copulators and all the rest of it, must be discarded from your sub-conscious, in the event of an untimely slippage during the interview process).

Break a leg and all the best to you.

[Vardsy]

Think of it as a chat with a colleague and not Authority speaking to underling.

If you go in with that attitude it will really show and you will pwn the fucker.

[berserk]

Take CMYK's advice from another thread (http://forum.zgeek.com/showpost.php?p=733090&postcount=12): :wank: before the interview for the calming acetylcholine rush

[BtrFly]

good luck, and remember to look him straight in the eye, and speak articulately. if you dont, people think you are shifty and an idiot.

also take in some of your better pieces of work, a portfolio if you will. you dont have to show it to him however if he asks, it better to have it.

most importantly, GOOD LUCK!!

[Guest.]

Good luck with it all mate. I'm sure you'll do fine.

[rayjayjohnson]

good luck. just dont tell him you fucked his wife.

[johny_roberts]

good luck. just dont tell him you fucked his wife.

dude this is lostreality it would be his grandmother that sick fucker:greenwink

fucking dirty poms

[oggy]

good luck with it all but if you know your stuff then it should be a walk in the park for you. best piece of advice i could give would be to dress good, if you look good then you will feel good!

[lostreality]

ok i have just phoned him up, i meet with him tomorrow (Friday) at 10:30am.

and he doesnt want to see any of my printed work he seemed happy with the web links I sent him. :)

I fucken pwnd the interview, only problem is he has just taken on-board another guy from leed's and he wants to make sure he has enough business coming in to support the need for another graphic designer, and he was going to give me a call on Monday with a yes or no answer.

Any way I got this email today:
