as per title. It's gonna be in Spanish about law/business (in Madrid). I've been told that I won't be getting a grilling 'coz i iz foreign' but am still not to sure what to make of it all.
EDIT: it's in 3 hours 15mins

I need to get some smart clothes this afternoon.

Apart from that does anyone have any useful things to add/ advise?

I dispose of good interview technique already, but this is real: it's for a job in a sector I'd love to work in and I don't wanna screw it up or have them think 'god, this guy's dull or uninformed' or at worst omg being labelled as 'ignorant'.

Thought it would be worth a shot asking here as usually there are people with very sensible views on this kind of thing.

Thanks,
Voltar.
 
thanks. but what is it that I have a hell of a lot to do? I can handle thinking on my feet etc, but am too inexperienced to really know much more.

Plus I've got a name and address and have to real specific indication of what this is gonna be about.
 
Got my interview attire now: not cheap :(

Have memorised Huddy's guide (pretty much anyways) and there's one last question:

Its really hot here and I don't want to have embarrassing sweat patches when I go in. A jacket will cover them up but i normally (ask 1st) take my jacket off.
WTF DO I DO LOL? Yes, nuking pits from space with deoderant might work but still, it's a good distance from here and it's hot :(

help OcUK :D
 
lol thanks PK. Now i'll just have squeaky armpits instead of possibly sweaty ones.

Gonna be wearing a thin-weight long sleeve white shirt. I'll just try not to bang my head on the door when I stride in ;)



EDIT: ROFL ^^ made me chuckle at least... turning up naked has many bad consequences *compares e-peen to t'other* :(
 
Any last minute words of wisdom?
I'm leaving with an hour to get there (probably 2 times more than necessary but can never be too sure!)
 
Well, I've just got back..... aaand:

It was a wierd experience to say the least. The guy who was meant to be interviewing me couldn't make it and I was sat there all alone for 35mins :(.

On the bright side they want me to start tomorrow morning :o
 
:o good luck with that! I'm kinda nervy about starting in a high pressure environment tomorrow: but at least I'll only be translating at first!
Thankfully I'm being considered an Intern, but they were telling me to give them an expenses list etc which I was surprised at :cool:

Let us know how it goes dm, and thanks for the advice/support guys!
