I've received two interview invites in the last 24 hours. O_O

So, guess what I'll be doing, aside from panicking and seeing if I have anything that fits the description of business casual(short answer, no, and I'm not wearing my lab-appropriate clothes; they look like shit). I usually go in business formal. I think someone made up the term business casual to confuse the living fuck out of me. It worked.

Jason's been banished to help desk for tomorrow, so at least I get the truck for tomorrow's interview. I'm bussing it up on Monday's.

Oh, tomorrow's is for Boumatic/PureLabs, and Mondays is for...THE STATE. =P They're both over on the east side, just off 51. Actually...really close to each other. Great, at least I won't get lost on Monday? When I likely will be using the goddamn bus?

Off to prep!

Something's gotta pan out soon. PLEASE something pan out soon?

When in doubt, go with business-like dress. I've actually seen people show up in jeans and t-shirts for interviews, but that was nearly ten years ago, before it become an employer's market. I've heard it said that, if the employer wants you to start right away, packing appropriate work clothes in your car is good, so that you're prepared. Most of the time, the start date is always pushed back to a later date for sign-up and orientation for HR's convenience, so there are few times when that comes up. I hope you do well.
