i have an interview for a WN internship this friday!! ;)
I got called over the weekend to come to Dallas for a Fall 2008 internship with WN!! I'm so pumped right now, I'm having trouble keeping my thoughts together. =)
this will be my first corporate interview and I'm trying my best to view this as a learning experience. as they say, 90% of success is showing up...or something like that!!
paging HighonLUV and Brian, I hope I can get some pointers for friday!

I've read in the past that those who have shown up in suits are thanked for their time and shown the door.
Here's a good post from the blogsouthwest site:

Spend 100% of your mental energy concentrating on what you can do for Southwest, and not vice versa. Then communicate that.
That is, don't ask about travel benefits, vacation policies, etc.
Good luck.

Congratulations. No a suit won't get you kicked out of the interview. It's not a requirement to wear one, but it doesn't "count off" either. The best advice that I can give you is be yourself and relax. Our Recruiters are very good about putting folks at ease. You will be asked questions and the more specific and on-topic you are the better.
I'll keep my fingers crossed. Do you know what department the Internship will be for?
