Make eye contact, ASK questions, know about the company prior to interviewing,be polite and thank them afterwards for their time. Also, send an e mail thanking them again when you get home. Good luck!

basically like a first date. if they dont call back right away dont freak and call them. wait a week or more depending on the number of applicants. they're probably just whoring around with other dudes before they call you back for a second date...in your case interview. anyway dont be nervous. just be polite and yourself....unless you're nuts. then you should be normal. anyway best of luck to you. the fiance said people like hand written thank you letters vs. e-mails

Sounds like a good opportunity! I know a few people in the company and know that its great if you are not at the store level. Look out for a guy named Andy Guptil. I believe he is a district manager for Dallas/ Ft-Worth. He use to be a district manager at NTB where i work. He would be a great source for you to network. If you get it and start making it out to stores i work at NTB in The Colony. Good luck!
