I Have a Job Interview Today

[SherriBerry]

Well I just checked my inbox and if I had done that before I posted I would have known that I didn't get the job! I wasn't expecting a decision so soon, but they hired someone else. The manager was very nice and said they were impressed with my interview, so I feel very good about that, and I think it will give me more confidence going into others.

I hope you have better luck Nora!

While I was still nervous (I don't know why - I guess it's like going on a blind date and wondering if you're going to like the person or get rejected), I think it went fairly well! I didn't babble and I made a few good points, so now I can laugh about the last interview 6 years ago. It looks like a very nice place to work and the people are great, so if I do get it I think it will be a positive experience! It is a seasonal position, but right now that works fine for me. A funny thing happened afterward...

I went downtown and decided to treat myself. While I was at a store buying some chocolate , I mentioned that I had just had a job interview. The lady who owned the store told me about someone she knew who has an investment firm and had recently mentioned she was looking to hire someone to help in her office. Since I was still in my interview outfit, I drove up there and dropped off a resume right away! The lady was busy on the phone, but she saw me come in and I'm going to follow up tomorrow now that she's had time to look at my resume. I didn't want to ambush her or be pushy. But that was a lead I wasn't expecting and since I'm taking courses for my accounting degree, working in finance would be great experience. If it weren't for the interview I had today, I wouldn't have known about it, so I felt pretty good about the day as a whole.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful words of encouragement and insights - I really appreciate and needed them!!

Sherri - I'm off to work but pm me later, I may have a suggestion for you.
