Hey everyone thank you so much! My interview went great today! I asked some great questions and I sent out my perfect thank you letters. I really appreciate all of your help and advice! The bad news is that the job requires a criminal background check that takes THREE WEEKS!! Ack!! That is so long.

Also this office does something really neat that I've never heard of. On Fridays they can wear jeans but in order to participate in dress down Fridays you must donate $5 which goes towards free healthcare assistance for some of their patients! I thought that was really wonderful - :)

I also have an interview on Thursday for another job, and I plan on using my questions and thank you note - :)

thank you again everyone - missy

WTG, Missy! Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you! I think the idea of the Friday Jean Day is fabulous!!! This company sounds like a winner!

Great Missy! YEH!!! sorry about the wait though.

My last two employers both did those Friday jean days with contributions for charity. They are great aren't they!!

Hey everyone - I went on my other job interview this morning. Oh my. First I didn't anticipate the massive traffic jam and I got lost (even though I did a trial run the day before!). I was 20 minutes late, I got there and they weren't prepared (the normal interview person was on vacation!). I was charged up from being late, and they gave me a typing test with two people over my shoulder. I typed an amazing 20 wpm with 3 errors (when I normally type at least 50 wpms) haha.

I've been going through a cognitve therapy program for anxiety and depression, so thank goodness I have these new skills to help me deal with the verbal beaten I would have given myself in the past.

I'm proud of myself for going and I actually think I MIGHT have a chance at the job. Don't know - :) But I still can't get over how bad it went. Then I left there to fill out an application with another company. When I got to the other company all of their doors were locked! No buzzer, no people in sight! There were tons of cars there but ???

Maybe the first company called the 2nd to tell them a disastergirl was coming? hehe.

Missy, good for you to keep going. And why should you feel bad..the company was no better prepared.

Did you tell them re the problem with the typing test? My sister was never able to pass a typing test because of nerves but she still managed to get a job. Her interiewer told her she just wanted to make sure she knew how to type and offered her the job anyway. :)

Good Luck. You deserve it because you sure have been putting effort into it. No employer can ask for more than that.

Thank you so much! You guys are great! I'm feeling really good about the fact that I went and I did my best no matter what! I've always had trouble with passing typing tests, but I think today was worse because of the over-the-shoulder factor and because I was feeling a little stress after getting lost! But eeh I did my best - So what is a girl to do. I will definitely keep you all posted - Thank you again for so much support and kind words -
