No advice Vickie, but lots of good wishes.

Vicki,  one of the most important things you can do is develop a set of
questions to ask them.  Even if you know the answers (though not dumb
questions), ask anyway.  It does two things.  First, it shows them that
you are really interested, and secondly, it shows them that you are also
interviewing them, indicating some modicum of control on your part.  You
may not care what the answers are, and you may be desperate for the job,
but don't let them know that.  Anticipate what questions you may
recieve, like "Why do you want the job?"  Your answer should definitely
be why you're interested in them.  Let them know what you can contribute
to them.  Do NOT lie about anything, but be prepared to sell yourself.  
It's your opportunity to blow your own horn.

Also, study about the organization you are trying to get the job with.  
I dunno, but whatever you think may be appropriate.  In that you're
looking for a job at the community college, see what their particular
specialty is, what their emphasis is on, or what kinds of books they
have in their library. You never know what or how that can pay off, but
it gives you an edge.  And, you never know.  Being able to answer a
question about the college itself, may make you look competent, and also
it can improve how articulate you are.

Again, let them know that you're really interested.  When I applied for
the job for the National Park Service at Fire Island, I had my set of
questions.  I did know the answers to some of them, but that didn't
matter.  But, my point is, I was desparate for the job.  I didn't tell
my interview that.  I said to him, and this was not planned, it just
popped out, "I don't know if this is appropriate to say or not, but I
was born on the ocean.  I was raised on the ocean. This job would give
me a ticket back."  You see, I was really interested.  Needless to say,
I got the job.  And, I beat out 70 other applicants.

You have one week, so get busy.  You have some homework to do.

Good luck, girl.  Keep us posted.

HI Vickie,

Always know a lot about the company you are going for the job in, check out
all their web site info and the hierarchy of staff etc where you will be
working.  If they don't have a web site go to the library and look up
information on them there.  If they are a college try and talk to a few
people that have gone there and have positive comments about the college as
you may get the opportunity to throw in some of the good things you have
heard about the college in the interview.

I have no idea what your laws allow and don't allow to be asked in an
interview but in NSW Australia if I ask an applicant of they have any
medical conditions that will prevent them from doing the job they only have
to answer that if indeed they have something that physically prevents them
from completing the duties according to the job description.  If they had RA
and it was under control with meds and the job was a job that meant a minor
flare would not stop themcoming to work and completing their duties they
legally do not have to tell me about it.  Same with kids they legally don't
have to tell me if they have kids or not.

Always be prepared with a negative that will come over as being a positive
anyway, in interviews they always ask you to tell them your biggest weakness
or negative and if you use something like eg sometimes I pay too much
attention to detail so I can caught up in a  project trying to ensure it is
perfect and this sometimes leads me to a delay in finishing it, sometimes I
spend a little too long helping customers because I want to be able to solve
everything they need and don't mind listening to them if they want to talk
(in a customer service role).  These can be seen as slight negatives but
also positives in an interview situation and there is nothing worse then an
interview candidate saying I don't have any negatives when asked that
questions because everyone has some negatives :)

Also always have your questions for them, they will ask you a lot of
questions but you also need some for them or they will think your not that
interested.  Always have examples of situations in the past, they don't have
to work related ones.  Eg if they ask you a question about handling
conflict, have a good example you can tell them about when you dealt with it
well, no employer wants to employ anyone that cant deal with conflict and
complaints efficiently and well.

Just remember interviewers are just people too so try and relax and not be
too nervous (they will know you are a little nervous and will make
allowances for that).  Just stay professional and polite and outgoing and
throwing in your knowledge of the company and any positive things you have
heard shows them how keen you are too work there.

good luck

The one thing that you need to remember in these enlightened days is
that they can't ask you anything that doesn't apply to the job and
even then it's iffy.  Check out "What color is your parachute?"  the
latest version.  It has all the up to date information you need.  

Good luck.  sorry I can't be of more help.  I just retired this spring
(huh back to work part time - they couldn't replace me yet LOL) and I
haven't had to go to an interview for 25 years so I would have to do
what others have suggested and that is to google for latest
information needed on resumes and interviews.  I do know there are a
lot of laws that have been passed on it.
