I have my first job interview at noon today...Post a pretty Morgan to calm my nerves!

I've never had a real job as I just bought and sold coins online and at shows to bring in a little income. But today I'm heading to Numismatic Financial Corporation for my first job interview, and I'm nervous! image

    Walk in there with the confidence like you own the joint. Don't beg for the job. Make them think that they NEED you and that you can make them more money than it will cost them to hire you.

    Good luck.

    Wear a Suit and tie.


    90% of job applicants for a serious position fail to do this.

    I don't have one...But I think it would be overkill honestly. They told me in was nonchalant. I think I'd be fine in a t-shirt and shorts. But I'm wearing Khakis and a Polo, just to be safe. =P

    Thanks everyone! I didn't REALLY get a job today. Unfortunately they just don't have a spot for me at the moment. But the owner said he should be able to get me on in the Fall. I got to look through a ton of Morgans (and find them a few nice ones) and got paid with a nice toner I liked. So it was a good day. Also, one of the main guys who works there is trying to get me into the ANA grading course on a scholarship. He teaches the class most years, so hopefully he'll be able to get me in!

    Hound that guy for the ANA course!!!!

    I am!! I really hope I get to go! He says he has a lot of pull out there and is really trying to get me in.

    Be sure to check in with them every month or so to let them know you're still interested, and so you will be fresh in their minds!

    Here's a really nice 1880-S GSA Morgan I imaged for Bruce Braga a few weeks ago. I generally don't like deeply toned coins, but even I have to admit this one is an eye catcher!
