Please-good thoughts for job interview.
I have an interview tomorrow-mental health position. I'm almost overqualified for the position so I'm hoping for something good from it.

Increased salary from what I'm making now, set hours and benefits. Please, please, please let me get this job!

24. I wouldn't lead with bondage
but if you get the right vibe from the interviewer - it could be a selling point :)

Good luck, sweetheart. I know how much you need this.

So good vibes, prayers, white light.... all coming your way. And I'll play some Trent just for you. That's always good luck.

Khash.

I need to iron tonight. I'm calling in to work tomorrow for the interview. My boss scheduled me at the last minute at a time she knows I cannot work anyway.

I make so little right now that my daughter and I are living w/ my parents. This might be enough, w/ a bit of saving for a couple of months, to move back out.

39. Sounds like an opportunity waiting to happen.
Also sounds as if you're as qualified as anyone, you'd think. If you make a good presentation, you'd put yourself at the top of the list. :thumbsup:

41. They want me to bring in my drivers license and my
social security card so that they can get the background check run ASAP (according to the woman on the phone). She also asked me to bring in all certificates and/or paperwork proving my previous certifications for their records.

Sounds like a sure thing, at least I hope!

43. It appears that you're a serious candidate.
Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 08:28 PM by Metta
Since that's what they're asking for. If you've done your homework about the company and can interview while being at ease and authoritative, yet appropriately vulnerable and willing to explore what you don't know, you should be well on your way.

Don't forget to ask for guidance and to speak from your most grounded self as you're falling asleep. That'll help for sure during the interview. If you don't have a good grounding technique and want one, let me know. I'll be looking at my posts at least once before I start to turn in between 9:30 and 10:00 Eastern time.

I should do just fine. I know about the company and exactly what they are looking for. And I know someone who is working for them so that might also help me out.

48. It is good for me and my daughter.
Overnight work but I would be home if my daughter got sick. Regular hours w/ regular days off, no changing my schedule at the last minute and me panicking over not having a babysitter, and benefits.

62. Sounds like your due for some stability vrs. being jerked around.
Yeah, that current stuff is unnecessary suffering whereas this stuff is relief and a smile. I'll light a candle for you which'll be you. I hope your prospective employers see your light and how they'll benefit from having you with them.

57. From one promotee to a hopeful....
I start my new (better pay, higher level, within the same company) job in less than 2 weeks. I went through 3 interviews and was picked as "the one". I wish you the best and just remember to stay calm and be real (not a know-it-all, yes man). Enjoy the interview and show them who you are. You'll do great! :applause:
