Real jobs are almost always better than the fake jobs. Of course, fake jobs allow you to sleep in late, but the money is not so good.

Remember... interviewers almost always have made up their mind about a candidate in the first 3 minutes. So... make a good first impression and then after the first few minutes, during the rest of the interview make sure you don't blow it (by saying anything goofy).

Good Luck !!

Just remember, when they ask you to say "Would you like fries with that' try to say it like you mean it!

My real job lets me do things like that. Of course there are the other times with deadlines which alter my hours, but that's just how it goes.

Did your interview start early ? Or did you impress them so much that they cut off the questions and you were out of there and made it home in less than an hour ?

Depends upon the position, et al.

How did you feel when you walked out of there ? My gut never lies to me... when I've fealt like I did well, I've always gotten the position. Likewise, if my gut told me I didn't do very well, the gut was always right.

Marketing, Advertising, Promotions, and Sales. If I get the job I'll get trained in each of those things, and then work with their clients
