Anyone going to interview in June?
Words of advice? (read the whole thread-done)
Thanks.

Don't wear a tie.
Pratctice your penmanship by writing out an entire page.
Take a mechanical pencil.
Ask at least one smart question at every stage.
Be polite to everyone.
Learn everybody's name (write them down).
Leave your thank you notes with the admin assistant when you leave at the end of the day.
Know the answers to at least a couple of the questions you missed on the online test.
Read the annual report they want you to read and quote some stats from it.
Don't act like a jerk at any time (they are watching ... seriously).
Do a interview prep with Clark, Tarver, or Emerald. Worth every penny if you really want the job.
Take a slow breath prior to every one of your answers.
Want the job and tell them that.
Relax. Enjoy the day.

Great hints from a guy starting class on Monday...nicely done, DC8.

Those are the practical nuggets of wisdom us line pukes can't provide...that is why this thread is being linked on other sites.

Don't wear a tie?

The invite will most likely state 'business casual'. Disregarding this and wearing a suit and tie says, "I can't follow directions".

Everyone was in suits and ties when I interviewed April of 2010. I guess that is a new thing.

Good luck tomorrow DC8. Have a great first day, enjoy every minute of it.

Whatever you feel makes you interview best...
 

A lot of people in my September interview group wore suits and ties and got hired on here at Atlas. I personally don't think it matters one way or the other.

I definitely don't agree that wearing a suit and tie says that you can't follow directions. There really is no standard definition of business casual out there, although I will concede a full on suit and tie may be on the more formal end of it.

All I can tell you is a comment from one of the folks doing the setup for the thing. Last year while I was in town around October for a sim I asked how things were going with the new group and he said as he shook his head, "Not bad but you know, we publish that the thing is 'business casual' and they keep showing up with suit and tie'. The entire process is now pretty much a numeric thing with each portion worth X amount of points. It's not a good idea to do something that takes away points unless you plan on making up for it somewhere along the way. Just some intel I thought worth passing on.

Almost identical situation here. Although, my times are slightly lower.
