Best of luck. What everyone else said, plus a firm handshake and good eye contact are things that make a first impression with your interviewers. Also, take along something to write with and write down people's names and significant facts when time allows, so if you need to contact them again you're not asking for "what'shisname".

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Thanks for the positive wishes. They help a lot. For those of you who don't know, I've been a bodyman for 35 years and it's way past time to get off the floor. I've had my appraiser's license for a while now and I've decided it's time to use it to make my living. Again thanks, the power of positive thought is very helpful.

Oh yeah, BigFish! Should I take a couple of extra tall-boys for the interviewer or is he on his own? I'm not sure of the protocal here.  Thanks again, guys! |

Fred - in addition to all suggestions above, if you are truly interested in this new position/career, make sure it is abundantly clear during the interview that you are (this is not desperate in my opinion).
I conduct alot of interviews at my job looking for new talent and I can't tell you how many times a qualified candidate arrives and shows no enthusiasm for the job. Most times I'll offer the position to a less qualified candidate who shows a strong work ethic/enthusiasm.
Good luck!
