Show self-confidence!When,I applied at a local boat manufacturer,
I was already foreman & head mechanic,at a competing manufacturer.I also had a home business,of building & tuning,
custom motorcycles.Naturally,you want to get hired,but if you don't,it's no big thing.The only reason,that I applied,was that it
saved a long commute & a Toll, each way.I was interviewed by the Plant manager & the production manager.They asked what I
wanted monetarily,I told them(I gave a lesser $ figure,then I was
making.I brought an old pay stub,to show them.)They said-"We don't pay that much here."I said-"Well,I guess you don't want me then!"Before,I got to the door,they HIGHERED me,for my requested amount.Your reputation,as a good worker & problem solver, goes farther then you think!Just don't act too anxious!I know it sounds
easy but I wish that I knew this when I was younger! Irish
P.S.Hindsight!
P.P.S.Above all,Don't lie about your capabilites,they might check!
