A super close Super Pal is hot on the trail of a new job. She keeps Girlawhirl informed of every job lead, interview and its outcome (all at Girlawhirl's insistence of course). Being in a position to hire, Girlawhirl likes the juicy details of the interviews, helping her Super Pal decipher the interviewer's body language, comments and overall demeanor to determine if she thinks her Pal has a shot at the job. Usually everything goes according to plan, but the latest interview report leaned more towards the disastrous than the delightful…

Girlawhirl's been there too, the Murphy's Law of job hunting. Her Super Pal did everything right. Planned her route ahead to avoid getting lost, laid out her suit the night before and created a very tailored portfolio of her work. The morning of this particular interview though, everything went wrong. The pouring rain delayed her train making her late. Then in the rush to get off the train someone knocked her brief case out of her hand sending her perfect portfolio all over the platform, and, soaked by the rain, she was looking more like a drowned rat than an executive.

 

Girlawhirl cringed as she listened on the phone. Her Super Pal now stood in the train station wondering if she should even go on. But Girlawhirl knew there were ways to salvage a sad situation like the one her Pal found herself in. First, Girlawhirl told her to hang up and call the interviewer to let her know she was going to be late.

 

Then Girlawhirl quickly found Five Worst-Case Interview Scenarios and sent the CareerBuilder.com article right to her friend's BlackBerry®. There her Super Pal found great suggestions to rescue her impending interview and help recompose herself before heading in.

 

With tips on everything from how to deal with a seemingly disinterested interviewer to how to survive a wardrobe malfunction much like the one her Super Pal was smack in the middle of, Girlawhirl was confident her Pal would make it through with flying colors with a little help from the editors at CareeBuilder.com.
