I have an important job interview in about an hour. I have been out of work for 2 months so not only do I want a job-I NEED A JOB. This particular job is one that I really want so I need some advice on how to impress without sounding cheesy or desperate. Please help!!!!

ask questions that pertain to the company....no matter how dumb it may seem, asking questions about the company make it seem that you are really interested in the job, be excited, make sure to also send a thank you letter after you have your interview...you'd be surprised how far a simple thank you can get you

I did look the company up on line so I do know a little bit of what they are about. Thank you....I will definitely send the thank you note.

I think this is good advice. I have been doing this myself lately and it works for me.
