Thanks for the advice! If anybody has any more, I'll be sure to check before I depart tomorrow. Any pointers/tips would be much appreciated.TillyGalore wrote:Sending interview vibes.CellR wrote:Oh, and send me some vibes for tomorrow!
When I was recruiter my candidates would ask me for advice about interviewing. I would always tell them, don't forget to breathe. When you're asked a question, pause for moment to gather your thoughts before you answer the question.

Since I didn't run my ac for about half of July, this year may be the exception to this.cl15876 wrote:Ya think?Shammrog wrote:And usually hotter than spring or fall.
I find that crayons work really well for rubbings, but obviously you don't want them in bright purple or anything. Try selecting a darker or neutral color. Also, those big, coarser-type artists' pencils can work really well. You don't really need thin paper; in fact, regular-gauge paper is better, because it holds up better.DukieInKansas wrote:I'll be heading to NY state for a wedding this weekend.

I did scholarship interviews in a former life as a faculty member at a liberal arts college. We were always more impressed with people who were informed in current events. One of my colleagues used to ask his interviewees to tell about a story they had read in the newspaper this morning and what they thought about it. Don't know if they do that sort of thing in admissions interviews, but it couldn't hurt to glance at the newspaper or watch the news before going. I always liked to ask about a favorite book or what they had been reading recently. Another favorite was a historical figure they'd like to meet and why.CellR wrote:Thanks for the advice!

My brother got an iPhone today. I'm kind of jealous. If Verizon finally gets them later this year (as is widely rumored at the moment), I'm on it.cl15876 wrote:Was IT pink?CameronBornAndBred wrote:Yay, I bought a new computer today. Yay!
Thanks for the info. I have sent my luggage already so I don't have to check it or carry it on the plane. I wasn't sure of the paper so put in some tracing paper and some sketching paper and charcoal. I thought about crayons but didn't trust them in a vehicle for multiple days - afraid I would end up with a ball of wax on the outfit I was going to wear to the wedding. I may try to get some and carry them with me on the plane.wilson wrote:I find that crayons work really well for rubbings, but obviously you don't want them in bright purple or anything.

I'll second wilson's suggestion of the artists' pencil. I did a rubbing with a graphite pencil that was about the size of a crayon; the rubbing ended up looking pretty cool. A crayon would also work well, though. Take both and see which one looks best.wilson wrote:I find that crayons work really well for rubbings, but obviously you don't want them in bright purple or anything.

Oh, and the sketching paper works pretty well, too. That's what I used. I would guess that tracing paper might be a bit too flimsy. Could be wrong, though.DukieInKansas wrote:Thanks for the info.

The only thing that worries me is the prospect of loving it too much. I'm liable to be fiddling with that motherfucker all the time.ArkieDukie wrote: I have an iPhone now and don't know how I got along without it before.
