Ales2:
thanks everybody, i appreciate it. Not sure if it went well. I got in five of the six topics that I needed, but I dont think I asked enough questions or was assertive enough when I was speaking.

We will see. I wont know anything for another couple of days.

sKePTiKal:
Fingers & toes crossed... for you Ales!

Ales2:
Update : Did not get the job.  Weird. I have never interviewed for a job and not gotten it.

Part of me wonders what is wrong, another part of me says its growth, because if I held back in the interview ( I did) it was because I had my doubts and the job was not even close to what to I want to do and instead of "going along to get along" I was just myself and if I was not 100% enthusiastic it was an honest, authentic reaction. I'm happy about that. For me to actually take the job, it has to be the right job and I have to have a sense they would value my contribution.  They seemed like mostly nice people, but I was not certain enough, so not enthusiastic enough. Ok. No problem.

Three other opportunities are on deck, and one interview next week.  We'll see.

Hopalong:
Fingers crossed for next week for you Ales.

One way I think about job interviews is to do everything I can in my communication
and energy I emit to GET THE JOB OFFER.

I'd far rather be offered something that I politely consider and then after sleeping
on it, choose to turn down, than not get the offer in the first place.

I know it involves some "faking it" but I think it also depends on how motivated
one is to change one's circumstances. Even a "not 100% right" job with people
who aren't "100% excited" about me...might lead in some way to the perfect one.

Good luck!
Hops
