I think I got two lessons from this. 1 - even for just a small job, look into the company you're hoping to be employed by. 2 - a certain "no" is better than unending hesitation.

Actually, no, 3 lessons - don't wait til the day before the interview to get new shoes. They won't break-in in time and you'll have to interview with a plaster on your heel. However, if you do, it's worth investing in a shoe-horn.

I know this feeling very well, especially when i've applied via a recruitment agency like Reed and they only tell you who the company is just before the interview.

Well, just keep looking the interviewer in the eyes when you're talking to em, that's really all I got for tips. I'm sure you already know the majority of what ya need to do.

Yeh, seems to be worth it even with companies where it seems like there's not much to them.

This was for one particular weekend job that I decided to go for back in February, but yeh, I'm gonna be starting to look for jobs pretty soon. Or at the very least, try to pick up more paid art commission work.

Ah, right! Coolio. I wish you the best of luck on your job-hunting mission, mate I might start doing commissions myself, actually.
