Thread Starter | so i have an interview for an assistant spot next week... advice please the times offered were early monday morning starting 9AM and the day before thanksgiving (wednesday) starting 6 PM. assuming normal studio operation hours, which one would be preferable? I know I dont have to show up in a 3 piece suit. I will probably sport a button up and plain black jeans. I figured all I need is a resume (with references included) and a CD with some of my self recorded/produced work on it. anyone have any advice? |

| Gearslutz.com admin  | Don't expect the cd to get listened to. Try using the GS google search (2nd search box down) input "assistant job interview"

| Personally, I look for someone who is going to be professional in their approach. Some one who can be fun to be around without being a dick and someone who is willing to do anything I ask without being clingy or overstaying their welcome. If they can tread that fine line, I'll spill my guts on technique at the appropriate time. |

| They say most employers (in any kind of business) make up their mind within the first 30 seconds of the interview. If that´s the case then the first overall impression of you as a person and waht kind of energy you bring to the room will matter most. |

30 secs to 1 minute is the perfect time when you have their undivided attention. | |

| Know the answer to this question: Why should I hire you and not someone else? Otherwise, just relax and be yourself. If you are a good fit with the people you'll know.  |
