So I had an interview today and was in fancy professional clothing and anyway I was getting myself psyched up before I left the house. My two choices: S. Carter by Jay-Z and Look Sharp! by Roxette. I probably have more interviews coming up, so other suggestions are welcome.

Tool's Opiate EP. It's really angry, and you will probably get an assertiveness surge out of it, especially the two live songs.

Depending on your interviewability: Aaliyah- "Try Again"

Hedge your bets by giving them what they want:

"Theme from Route 66": snappy, confident
"Ballad of the Green Berets": responsible, trustworthy
"Who Let the Dogs Out": team player, knows how to skirt blame
"The Name Game": personable, quick-witted
"Satsifaction": proactive, sales oriented

Turn on your local R&B + house station and chew gum before to freshen breath and keep a steady beat going.

Listen to songs about poverty and homelessness to spur you on. "I Love Livin' iin the City", "Welcome to the Jungle", "Ghetto Bastard", "Kill the Poor" & "Soup is Good Food"(Dead Kennedys), "The Message", Kid Rock, Eminem. That'll motivate you to avoid that terrible fate!

Why not "The Immaculate Collection"? Of course, there's a real danger of having at least one of the songs running through your head during the entire interview.

Good pick, but it doesn't have Human Nature. ;-)
