You guys are my main source of support so i'll be less broad. My dream is to work in sports television. Last year right out of college I got an interview to work. After they interviewed me and asked a bunch of questions, I was asked to come in for a 2nd interview where I would be shown the equipment and meet some important people. To my surprise when i arrived, there was a three page paper test waiting for me on basically the history of sports. I did not know the answer to 70% of the questions. Afterwards I was interviewed by one of the main HR people. I knew as soon as I walked into the office that she already chose someone else to hire, and that's what happened.

This upocoming interview, if goes well, will change the path of my life. All i know is that I am going to be one of the last people to interview, and the person interviewing/hiring does not know me. I truly like the other people who are also coming for an interview, but how do i distinguish myself from them? I have had a pretty important part-time job within this company for the last few months, and have gotten rave reviews. The other guys are also very qualified and have done part time projects for the company.

And another thing. I was so mentally drained from not finding a job in this field, that I had decided to attempt to go to grad school next fall. I was to send in my application this week. Is this something worth mentioning during the interview?
