			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>And the hits keep coming.</strong> Not only am I in the process of hiring one person but I have a second one that is pretty much a big deal.  I&#8217;m in the middle of looking for a graphic designer to complete the team.  I said this before but I&#8217;ll say it again. I hate this process.  I know that you are trying pimp yourself out during those times. You will do anything and learn anything.  My heart does break for you that I have something that you want but there is a line behind you that also wants what you want.  I do believe its a crap shoot. The odds are a little better but a crap shoot none the less.  You can interview, have an awesome resume go to the best school and turn out to be crazy.  It takes having a couple come through your life to know what I mean. It&#8217;s pretty shocking the first time it happens to you. You wonder what you did wrong.  That&#8217;s probably why I take more time just shooting the breeze during an interview. If I can get along with you then things are going to be ok.  I also try to have a second person in the room just in case my crazy meter aint working.  So here are 5 steps on how to Pimp your self if you are planning on applying to student life well let&#8217;s just say to interview with me.</p>
<p>1. Don&#8217;t wear a tie. I know that its respectful. I know you were probably taught to over dress rather than under dress.  If you are going to wear a tie at least look hip about it. Your paisley purple tie doesn&#8217;t make it happen. If you drop off your resume in person you would be able to see the culture.</p>
<p>2.  Always, always research on what we do.  Nothing irks me more than someone asking &#8220;So what type of work will I be doing?&#8221;</p>
<p>3.  When I ask if you have any questions, come up with one.  We have sat here listening to you talk you&#8217;ve got to want to know something.</p>
<p>4.  When I say &#8220;tell me about your self&#8221; and you ask &#8220;What do you want to know?&#8221; It is to give you an opportunity to tell me not only about yourself but you get to tell me the things you think are important about you.  I dont do it to try to stump you.</p>
<p>5.  I know you are nervous but I&#8217;m going to try to make it as fun as possible. Take a deep breathe and have fun.</p>
<p>Ok so these are hard and fast rules. These are ways to work here for me.  Try them don&#8217;t try them.</p>
<p>Peace in the middle east</p>
