2nd Interview after a year!!!!

I can barely hold myself right now!!

So this morning I saw a job posting on Monster.com. It is for an RN position at a Cosmetic Medical Center. The job description said "no experience is needed, but it is preferred. In house training required". Those words sounded like heaven to me. the job is located a few miles from my current work, so I did not waste a second and sent the app online. And i completely forgot about it.

Later in the evening, I was on the phone with my friend, I get an incoming call, and I answered. When I realized that the lady was offering an interview for tommorrow, I almost passed out...After over 200 apps, i got an interview offer!!!!:yeah:. I think i was so excited that I might have sounded ridiculus.

I know it doesn't mean I'll get the job, and I shouldn't get all happy over an interview, but I can't help it!!!

Also, I'm scared to death that i might say or do something that will ruin this unique opportunity! I don't know anything about cosmetic treatment :crying2:.

Can you guys give me any advice??

Please?!

    Go online and look up the different procedures. The company might even have a web page explaining the procedures for the patients. I would take extra care with my physical looks. Careful tasteful makeup, nails hair. Thier business caters to people who care greatly about looks so they want people with a polished professional look. Just my 2 cents and good luck!

    I agree with you. I'll work on my look, and I'll also look up their web site.

    Hope I get the job :redbeathe

    Review common interview questions, and know how you would respond. Also sell yourself to the employer, let them know why they should invest in hiring you over an experienced nurse. Good Luck! And even If it doesn't work out, take mental notes so that if you interview elsewhere you are even more prepared!

    I keep telling myself that if it doesn't work, it won't be the end of anything, but I have waited so long that I really want this to work out!

    First, I would look up the potential employer on the web and see what services they offer. Then, look up those services and see what is involved in terms of care. Be honest that you do not have the experience. But DO announce that you would be very eager to learn. The fact that you would have "done some homework" prior to the interview might be impressive to the interviewer.

    As well as the excellent advice already given, I would also like to add this:

    If they have value & mission statements, be sure to know them + apply them when you sell yourself. Also, their job posting will tell you how you need to present yourself to them. Basically, you want to parrot back to them what they are seeking when they ask you questions.

    ie: they ask you what would make you an asset to their team

    (you noticed their ad states they are looking for a team player, etc, etc)

    you answer that you are a team player, etc, etc, and provide examples to back up your statements

    Be yourself. And if that is not a strong selling point (it isn't for me before my 1st morning coffee!), then be polite, professional, pleasant, attentive, sociable, knowledgeable and eager. Good luck!

    Thank you so much alphabetsoup and thebusynurse!

    those are really good advices! I already printed out the job post to read it thoroughly. That's a great advice!

    Last night I did a little research about what they do there, and I gathered some info about the Dr. It seems I might be interviewing with him :confused:

    Well, the interview is 2 hours away. I'll keep preparing and hoping for the best!

    Again, THANK YOU ALL so much!!!
