Biblical passages and advice for interview?

I have an interview soon and I am so nervous. Does anyone know of any bible passages that I can read beforehand to calm down my nerves or words of wisdom that they can share with me. It's not my first interview but because I have been unemployed for a couple of months and legal jobs are not easy to come across I'm really nervous. I've come so far with my degree and although this position isnt within a law firm, so there probably wouldnt be any room for progression it would give me the opportunity to use my degree.





Can I also ask for tips on what you think that I should say if they ask me why have I chosen to apply for a position with them instead of with a firm that will offer me the ability to train with them. My main reason for applying is because jobs are difficult to find these days and this job will allow me to use the skills that I gained with my law degree as well as apply to be a solicitor at the same time on the side, but obviously I cant tell them that because if I dont get the chance to become a solicitor I will stay with them.





Please do not respond with something unrelated or insensitive. If you have something silly to say, then please respect my wishes and write somewhere else. Any useful tips will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Biblical passages and advice for interview?
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.





Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?





Psalms 5:11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. 12 For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.





Matthew 6:30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 ';Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.





In regards to what to say on the job interview, remember to be honest yet diplomatic. You don't have to say a whole lot to answer the questions that you might be asked. You don't have to give them a whole long story. You can say that you need a job and that your primary goal is to obtain gainful employment. They know that jobs are scarce. You can get training just by working in a legal environment. You won't get any training by remaining unemployed.Biblical passages and advice for interview?
Isaiah 41:10,13
Research and know the organization well before going in. Once there, show the interviewer why s/he would be a fool not to hire you!





Good luck and God bless! Knock 'em dead!





Mat 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?





Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.
Here are some that are especially encouraging when against the odds. You're positioned correctly for a favorable outcome by continuing to trust the Spirit's leading; meditating on His Word.


Also just be prepared to answer as you explained but leave off the ';as well as'; part. 'As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words.' Ecc 5:3





Jos 1:7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.


Isa 40:31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.





Rom 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus





Rom 8:35-37 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: ';For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'; No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.





Jos 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.';
Psalm 23 (and of course those passages that the other answers include).





And try to find out as much about that Job you want beforehand, so when you are being asked questions, you are able to answer them.


So, if you find out something that sounds interesting, try to mention it(that way it seems like you are very interested in that job and already have knowledge about it.)


And, of course, smile and try to win them over with your positivity!


:-)


You might also want to mention that you are willing to work hard, willing to learn as much as you can, say that you are focused and enthusiastic! :-)





And, of course, dress properly!


:-)





good luck!
