You have to give up your style of writing. It may be cool in this day and age of texting but it won't fly in business, particularly if you are job seeking. Maybe you should study and/or practice the English language before you embarrass you self in front of an older HR person.

Sorry about the criticism, just my opinion.

Everyone is really giving some great advice here.

I have just begun a new job (in the engineering field) and had quite a few interviews before I landed it.

The dress is very important as mentioned before. One thing I would suggest to you is make sure that you have details from your internships!! What did you work on, and what type of things you learned that will be useful for the job. Right now, this is your only work experience to date, so the more details, the better. And also discussed by others here, dont go over your educational background unless someone asks about what your favorite class was. They have you at the interview BECAUSE of your education.

Make sure you speak clearly and confidently and always maintain eye contact with the interviewer when you're answering your questions. Make sure you're sitting up straight, no slouching and bring a notebook with you and take notes regarding the position and always make sure you ask questions at the end of an interview. While they are interviewing you for a job, you too are also interviewing the company. One thing I always asked was 'How soon are you planning on filling the position?' Sometimes, that will determine how soon you may get a response back from the company.

In regards to salary, dont try to negotiate a salary at the interview. Give them a salary range in which you are expecting. If you're fresh out of college, chances are you're not going to have a lot of room to negotiate, so you need to research to see what people in a similar position are earning with the same amount of experience (use salary.com, or something like this). And that is probably where most of your leverage will be.

Good Luck!!!

I'm sorry sir. But i am amongst the top students in my English class. I only use this type of writting in order to type faster

Tell you what son ... save time this way on your resume and see how quickly you land a job! Anyone reading your writing would wonder if you ever learned to spell "you" or "your". Did you ever learn what a capital letter does or what a question mark is for?

What is the word "writting"? I rest my case. Just go ahead and do it your way.

geez. Give the kid a break here. Also, Mr. English Professor, did you not mean to ask him whether he knows "for what a question mark is intended?" as opposed to ending your question with a preposition?

Seeing your older than me, im gonna be respectful. Sorry if im coming on too strong but CMOOONNNN.im not here to do some spelling. no one really stresses on capital letters or question marks around here. Dont tell me you use capital letters everytime you finish a sentence. you should chat online more often.

and about the you or your, it was probably a mistype.

Thank you for the support.

Well spelled? hahahaha. Sorry, I meant "Laughing, laughing, laughing"
