Yay, Marm!! That's a Sunday-Tuesday interview timeframe. I don't know how you do it!

I hope this works out for you, because it sounds as if it would be a terrific fit with your lifestyle and interests. The fact that your interview is so soon and that the class is listed with no professor is a gigantic plus!!

So you and Legal may have some stressful days of waiting ahead, but it's all sounding so great for both of you!!

Good luck Marm! I think it would be wonderful for you to get the job at NYU! Go get them.

Congrats to everyone hired!!!

Good Luck to those still trying!!!

I have an interview coming up, and I have the option of being one of the first or one of the last interviewed. They are doing interviews for 2 days. I need to let them know first thing in the morning when I will be coming in.

So, all you experienced interviewee, or interviewers, help me pick the best time slot! If I go to early, I'm afraid they might forget me...if I go in last they may already have their eye on someone else.

LOL, I just had this image of me going in early...with a huge purple feather in my hair...can we say unforgettable. ROTFLMAO

Nothing like making yourself laugh

I've been invited to come in here by Hp.

No one will hire me!! *cries*

I have a phone interview with a potential future employer on Thursday. Though, I'm not sure how to act, because she's the camp director of the camp I've been going to since 2000 and everything I associated with camp, is laid back and fun.
But she'll be my boss, and even though at camp, you can be buddy-buddy with her, I don't want to seem like an idiot and not get hired.

Either way, I think I'm just going to be myself and hope for the best.

Neko, being yourself is a good thing. She already knows you, I'm should you'll do just fine. You have always sounded mature for your young age.

Meme, I think I'd choose to be first--unless you're the type who needs time to gather yourself together once you arrive. Why first? Only because it's your chance to see the interviewers when they're fresh and v-v. They're more apt to remember you more vividly than those in the blur of the 4th, 5th or 6th people. I also think it would show you're a go-getter, not content to let anything slide. Whichever you choose, I wish you lots of confidence when you awaken the morning of your actual interview. Good luck! Let us know what you decide, when it is, and how things go, okay? We're here to root you on!!

Neko, Meme is right about being yourself. I agree that you will be just fine.

If your relaxed boss needs an energetic, humorous and happy person as a counselor, then you are it! Knowing the camp routines is a big plus. I would stress that and how much you looooovvve being at the camp, working with kids, etc, and also play up the leadership and interpersonal skills (and whatever else you gained) you've developed as a result of attending the camp.

Good luck, Sweets!! Glad you joined us!!

I am sure you've all read that Silly is doing great in her new job and loves it--but that she is now very, very busy, what with being a full-time student and full-time mom as well. Just doing a cheer for her happy 'busy-ness' here!!

Thanks HP! I was thinking first too. Now to find a purple feather! Interview is late morning, TODAY! But, it was nice of them to let me choose. I know I can do the job, so I'm ok on the confidence. I haven't been interviewed for decades. Heck, all that can happen is they won't hire me. I have nothing to lose, and I will gain experience for the next one.

Knock 'em dead, Meme9!!

And Neko....I worked at a camp when I was in High School. I remember one of the interview questions was about my ability to "take orders"....meaning how did I take directions. Even though I was working in the kitchen, they didn't mean taking food orders! Also, they will want to know that you are a hard worker and good with kids. They might ask you how you deal with conflict. Good luck!

I've been reading all weekend to prep for the NYU interview. I have refreshed about academic things, but now also know lots of trivia about the Washington Square area, Manhattan in general and Brooklyn as well. I wish that I would hear from the secretary who is arranging the housing, but I'm sure that I will hear from her this week.

Oh my goodness, today?!!! Go, Meme, Go!!! You'll wow 'em just as you have us! No purple or red feather needed.

We'll be thinking of you today and keeping fingers and everything else crossed for you!

Marm, that background work you did is so smart. Besides impressing your prospective employers, it's got to have the effect of making you feel more comfortable, too. Know your monster, in control kind of thing.

Days are flying by and the 3-days of madness will begin before you know it! Can't wait for this opportunity to become a reality for you!
happy

I'd have to vote for the not pictured "I'm all pooped out" monster today!

Ya gotta play hard and "crash" hard!

Just three more days until "Easter Break".....NO university classes, but extra stuff at church, so it balances out. Then I start living out of suitcases for about 10 days.

Thanks for the really good advice guys.
Unfortunately, I don 't know her, she's the new camp director. And it seems like none of the old counsellors are getting hired..

But maybe some of them aren't applying. LOL

I'm glad Marm is taking a break! How in the world do you do all those interviews?

Well, maybe it was my first one in decades(ack!!! it's almost 3decades, double ack!!!)...but I'm all tuckered out. LOL Just got home. It went really well, even without the purple feather! This company, has another company that does the interviewing, ect. Good news is, he knew I could do the job. I go back Wed. Thurs. and Friday of this week. I forgot to ask when they will be making their decisions. Their increasing their staff. Gosh, dumb me, I forgot to ask how many their hiring!

Anyway, the interviewer said that if I didn't get a position with this company, he does this for others and can help me find a position. So we'll see.

I'll be a basket case by the weekend

Thanks for cheers!

Whoo Hoo, Meme!

Sounds very promising! Pulling out my zen fountain for you to dive into BEFORE getting to the basket-case stage. Smell the flowers and take time to relax ---because you may be working sooner than you expect!!

Thanks HP! The flowers and fountain are very pretty.

I wish I could relax, being a business owner, things must get done. For some reason...duh...I'm the one to do them. DH's eyes are starting to see the light. What will he do without me here each and everyday. LOL part of me is smiling. I know I'm bad...hehehe

Hey, Meme. Hee hee!! It's nice to see his eyes glazing over when he realizes how much you do, huh? (I think you two are amazing, though. My DH and I would surely be reported the next day as a double homicide if we were ever to work together. I just know it!! If you feel comfortable sharing, could you tell me what line of business you're in?)

So far, Maesin's(dd) doing pretty well. She's gone on quite a few interviews, one offer (she turned down)and a couple which should be calling her today or tomorrow. She's very interested in two companies considering her. Thankfully, she has NOT had to go back to the Casinos. Keep all those fingers crossed for something to happen SOON!

I had my interview today.

I had just come into the door from school at 4pm, and my step-dad calls down the stairs and says "Your camp directors on the phone."

I reply,"Why? She's 15 minutes early."

LOL
Anyway, she asked if I wanted her to call back so I could prepare, I said, Let's do it now.
(I hope she noticed that I can think on the ball.)

I think it went pretty good.
I'll find out if I'm hired or not next week.
