Wish me luck...
« on: October 22, 2012, 01:45:04 PM »
Wish me luck  :D, I have a promising job interview today and I am hoping to get an offer. I really need the job, even though its a project and will only last a couple of months. It can always lead to something else. Anyway, if the salary works I will take it. As some of you may know, I am currently entangled with my NMom over $$   :evil:, so would no longer need that if I get the job. It would be a great step forward or back to a better place where I am financially independent again.

So wish me luck.

And, if there is anyone else going through anything tough today, I am thinking good thoughts for you too!    :D

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.

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.

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!
