Wish me luck

I wasn't going to tell you, because I was afraid I would jinx it, but... I changed my mind. OK, here goes: I would like to ask all of you to keep your fingers crossed for me Monday 29th.

I'm... - are you ready for this? - I'm going on a job interview.

Yes! I actually managed to get to second base. The interview. OK, so I still don't have a job, but this is the greatest progress I've done in about 2 years.

Fingers crossed as I do the happy dance around the living room

Good luck, sweetie.

Just be yourself and you won't need wishes for good luck. But I've got a hunch you'll have a lot of us pulling for you anyway. Good luck, girl.

ps: I did employment, personal type work for 15 years. This piece of advise is going to seem self-evident, but a lot of folks forget the obvious. Your challenge will be to convince the employer that you can help them make more money (or if it's a non-profit org., get more done) than any other person they can hire. RF

A friend of mine recently interviewd for a job and the HR department was coaching her, because they really wanted her to get it. The woman in charge told her to be sure to ask for the job.

My friend got nervous and said, "Well how exactly do I do that?"

The woman said, "Simply say, 'I want the job'."

She felt really awkward, but got the job and was later told that was the only thing that set her apart from the rest of the candidates.

Might be worth sticking your neck out.

Off to bed to get some rest before primping up for the big event. I'll tell you all about it in about 12 hours.

Good luck

Hope you get the job, and more importantly enjoy it.

Charm their asses off.

One word of advice, is you happen to read this. One of the things I do at work is recruiting people. What I want to see are people that 1) show genuine interrest in the things we do, 2) knows and admits their short-comings but knows what to do about them, and 3) who aren't that bloody shy. The people you talk to are no demigods, so you have no reason to be humble and act too polite.

I got this job by letting them know that I had ideas for the company and the product (a web site) that I was supposed to work on. Not by telling them what education or merits I had.

best of luck,

Good luck, Svenska.

Yep yep...off to save th' economy....good on you!

Ok, so how did it go?

Well, I met with the boss, who was atleast 15 years younger than I had imagined him to be. He said they needed people to work extra time now and then. They already had people, but they were students, so their working hours always depended on whether they were free or not, so it would be good to have someone who was available all the time.

"That would be me," I said. "I'm available all the time, and I live right across the street from here, so when you call, I can be here in 5 minutes."

He asked me to write an application and hand it in ASAP, and he'd look it over.

According to my friends, who also work there, I have a good chance at getting atleast extra hours.

Then it will be up to me to make myself unreplaceable.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Hooray, that sounds so promising! Keeping fingers crossed that it will be a great job for you and that you are happy.
It's nice to hear good news now and then.

Thank you for your support. It's warming me up inside.

Then it will be up to me to make myself unreplaceable.

Well, hey... it's you.
