I'm so glad you got your computer and are around more often!

That picture of Vieh and Joey is the most adorable thing ever. Wish I could've been there with you guys (and those pizzas).

As for the interview: the fact that they invited you, although you don't have much experience, is very good. Obviously they liked your application, so that's a great start. Just try to be confident. Let them know that you're willing to learn, that you're ABLE to learn new things very fast, that you really want this job. Try to think of a few positive things about yourself, in case they ask you; you learn fast, you work well with other people, you're a team player, you're flexible, etc, etc. You know?
I know it's difficult, I've been in that situation before (more than once). But I think they can see/sense if someone really wants the job or if it's just another interview for them.

Good luck, Sam! ♥

Thanks for the advice. I'm actually writing all this down as a kind of revision thing.

July, there will be pizza!

*FINGERS CROSSED FOR JOB INTERVIEW*

And as for how to convince them? TELL them why you think you'd be good at it. They've obviously invited you for an interview for a reason, so they've already seen something in you, so play on that. Like Book said, tell them you're willing and eager to learn and you're an easy learner. Tell them things about yourself, and how you think those traits would be good for this job.

And THANK YOU for not linking your Twitter things to LJ. LOL I'm sure Twitter is a lot of fun for those who are on it (the stalkerish side of me kinda wants to get it, too LOL), but I totally skip those posts faster than you can even say Twitter when they appear here on LJ. (What is Stephen Fry up to during the days, though? ;))

Also, these pics! I HEART THEM. ♥
I am still working on Easter (mainly because my boss hasn't been in for days now!), but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it over! :)

I skip Twitter posts too, tbh, hence why I didn't link it! The site itself is kinda fun if random though, you should try it sometime. (Unintentional Rain King quote ftw).

Yay Easter!!!

Good luck with the job interview. :) As for tips, most of the ideas I came up with are incredibly tasteless and would make you think less of me as a person. So I'll just say, be your awesome self. :)

LMAO. I'm not sure I want the job THAT much!

Actually, the rude ideas came after I discarded the original set, which involved emotional blackmail, and puppies in leg braces.

You are true evil. I think that's why I like you.
