Heh, all right!! Congrats to you, fella. For Friday. I’d repeat the A314 to chin, Shine to abs and Instant Gentleman on the back of left hand.
But, if you want to use some some androstenol, consider this:
Take the next couple of days and wear a few sprays of SPACELAND (high dose alphanol) and a couple of sprays of Instant Honesty (betanol). Right under your nose, so to speak, so you get used to having those pheros stimulate you, and you get a sense of your response patterns.
Then, for Friday, in addition to A314/IS/Instant Gentleman, you might wear a spray of Instant Openness (lower dose alphanol) and one of Instant Honesty (betanol)… back of neck or top of head (on your hair) will minimize self-effect. The purpose of adding the -nols is to get your interviewers to TALK. The more they talk, the more they will divulge about the structure and goals of the interview.
BTW, something about this sounds like a “behavioral interview.” The best way I know of to prepare for this kind of interview is to sit down, and outline four or five “stories” that demonstrate your capabilities. (In telling the stories, you express your values as well as your ability to organize information and communicate it.)
Each story should have four distinct parts: the situation (set the scene/issue); your actions (what you did, but ~not~ why); the outcome (the employee quit, or sales increased 9%, etc.); what you LEARNED from the experience. Being able to express yourself in concise form is a big part of this kind of interview.
Also, each story should be able to serve multiple functions: “Tell me about a time when you turned a customer complaint into a positive experience” and “Tell us about a situation where you had to choose between the easy solution and the more difficult but ethically right course.” If you have one story that you can use for both of those questions, that’s awesome.
Prepare by telling your stories out loud. Retell them to cut down your word counts, make them sharp.
Oh – even if your interviewers aren’t set up to use the behavioral form, you just might discover how powerful it is to tell stories in answering interview questions. Telling stories makes it clear you know how to engage your audience when you communicate … and a story is very vivid way to get your audience to IMAGINE the circumstances, etc. …
You seem like a very capable guy, so I suspect you will rock the second interview, pheros or not, stories or not. But it’s still a challenge to score best out of eight … and ideally to get the #1 score from all of the judges.
Olympic figure skating, anyone? 
rolleyes:
Preparation, skill, good music, a supportive crowd, and a little luck. The pheros will be your music and supportive crowd, heh!
Cheers!
