Today is a sad, weird day. It was my last day at my job. I really liked this job - the people are great. But the company is having financial problems, and I am one of the casualties.
However, this morning I was approached by a recruiter about another job. So, I now have 2 interviews on Monday and one on Tuesday.
This is good - I'm getting lots of leads and lots of action. (No, not *that* kind, dammit.)
But my feelings are all over the place - up and down. I need a break from the changes!

Good luck with your interviews. I know you'll do great!!! Sometimes things happen for a reason and are a blessing in disguise. Stay positive and nail it on Monday!! (Not that way! Damnit!)  |

Peace, beautiful Kat. Just relax, take a deep breath, know that 2016 is going to be a great year for you (yes, even "that" way, dammit). ;-)

It's a lot to deal with, Kat, so it's no surprise your emotions are all over the place...too many changes coming one after the other. Even though the job interviews are a positive, they are still another change in your life, but despite all this, you are a strong woman, and will do what you have to do.
Good luck, Kat. I'm rooting for you. (No not that kind of rooting...chance would be a fine thing).

Good luck with the job interviews. Remember that they are also being interviewed by you.
I sent a thank you email the evening of the last interview I had, to clarify a few things briefly - the big cheese said it was what convinced him to give me the job. I could send you a copy of my lucky letter?
Breath, relax, be yourself, get there early, smile...but you know all this. You're going to do just fine!

You'll have a busy weekend researching the companies and getting ready for the interviews.
Good luck.

You'll have a busy weekend researching the companies and getting ready for the interviews. Good luck. Good call. Kat probably doesn't need my interviewing advice, but a great technique is to ask a lot of questions yourself. Psychologically, people like to hear themselves talk, and giving them an opportunity gives them an overall warmer impression of your interview. Personally, I find if a candidate makes the effort to know something about the business and the role, and have questions about how things will work... They are giving a lot more consideration to the process than just looking for a paycheck. And it can be a really good way to ferret out what you might be getting into. For one role I ended up taking, the CIO described the situation as "opportunity rich"... which is spin for "really fucked up". And it was, but at least I knew what I was walking into. DC |

My husband is currently hiring for his company. He has been telling me of the people that come in for interviews. The ones that have visited the website and are familiar with the projects the company has done, are the ones that get considered.
