I'm an IT guy. Geez, now that I think about it, I was just a junior or senior in college back in 1996 when I joined this list.
I'm a little nervous about it, but not too bad. In all the interviewing I've done in the past, I've found the best strategy is to just be yourself. I've never had a lunch interview like this, but people are people. Look them in the eye, be honest, be conversational but don't talk their ear off. I try to convey that I know my stuff, but that I'm willing and able to learn what I'll need to know for the position. When I've interviewed in spring/summer/fall, I liked driving my Chevelle to interviews as it tends to relax me a little bit. Too bad I won't be able to do that this time. Snow on the ground and my engine is torn apart. Sorry for the lack of real Chevelle content, but if there's any people on the list who interview candidates for their companies who have some good tips/advice, I'm all ears.
