Close to Phila you say??? Hmmm. this could definitely be a lunch possibility!!! Woo! Woo! Good luck Kim!

I hope that everything will go well and that you'll get the job. Good luck Kim!!!:D

Sara has given some excellent advice. Anybody interviewing for a job, should bookmark this thread.

Kim, with a bit of preparation you should do just fine. Breath deep and try to relax.

All fingers and paws are crossed! Good luck, Kim :)

Way to go girl!!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I also have a great feeling about this. I think you've got what it takes to do a great job!

As for your last reference. There is no good way to say "don't call." You are better off owning up to it....."I had some problems with my last employer and we both learned from it. Let me give you some other professional references."

Great advice, ES.

Good Luck! Will be thinking of you Kim!
xxxxxxx

Well...... I'm still trying to get ready for tomorrow. I dyed my hair this afternoon and it didn't take so I have to redye it tonight (grrr... as if I have the time to waste sitting in the tub for another hour!) if it wasn't for the interview tomorrow I would just wait til next week to redye it. Oh well.

I still have to finish putting my portfolio together, iron my suit, de-cat-fur-ize my suit, and figure out what shoes fit over my still sore/swollen foot/toes (somehow I doubt they'll consider black sneakers professional!) My list of questions is all typed up, as is my list of references. Everyone is pulling for me and they will give me glowing reviews if the company calls them.

I know I need a good night sleep tonight but I also know there's no way I'm gonna be able to sleep! LOL I've got myself worked up, and I won't relax until I walk into their office. Funny thing is I know I won't be nervous once I start talkig to them. I'm just nervous now!

Not sure what time it is in the States but its Wednesday lunchtime here in UK and I am thinking of you Kim!
All the best - YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! You are the best person for the job - PMA - Positive Mental Attitude!!!!!! :D :D :D

Thanks Maggie. Its exactly 8:00 here. 1 hour and 30 minutes til my fate is decided :eek:

I'm sitting here checking email one last time, just getting ready to walk out the door for my interview. I look as good as I get ;) and feel pretty good. I almost cried when my hair decided to have a bad day, but after nearly an hour of spritzing and cursing, it looks pretty good :p

I really DO feel I already have this job.

Oh, I forgot to answer questions posted earlier in the thread:
Russian Blue, this is an interior design position. I could do this standing on my head. I just don't know the Knoll prodcut line well, and that won't take long for me to come up to speed.... once you know one manufacturer you pretty much know them all.

K9karen, its in Malvern, and we will have to do lunch one day. I'll be looking forward to that!

PS: My toes are SCREAMING at me already in my biggest and most comfy "dress" shoes. I might not have broken my toes two weeks ago but they sure still hurt. Owie. I think I'll drive in my sneakers and change in the car! LOL

Sooooooooo.... everyone please send out the good wishes and prayers in the next hour or so. I won't be able to update anyone til later this evening since I am headed straight from there to help a friend out in her picture frame shop (thats one job I'd leap at the chance to have again but the drive is just too prohibitative) Oh, and my friend's shop? I worked there for 9 years. Her last name? Knoll. Coincidence? :D

Will have my fingers crossed all day, Kim. Good luck! :D

Good luck Kim! I have been thinking of you this evening and lit some sweet smelling incense sticks to wish you luck. I hope your foot is not too painful in the dress shoes!

Good luck, and definitely put your sneakers back on for the rest of the wait and the drive there. Once there, you'll be too otherwise occupied to notice your feet hurting!

Good luck! :) We'll be thinking of you!

Good luck! I've got my fingers crossed for you. :D

Good luck, and prayers. Let us know- we are all waiting with you..

I wish I had seen this earlier. Good luck! It's 5:25 a.m. here, so it must be 9:25 a.m. there. Sending you all my good wishes and positive vibes!
