I hope everything is going well. I'll be looking forward to hearing your good news later today.

WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!?!?

[Mad Mags Moo]

Are you gainfully employed now Kim!!!!!!
How did it go.....waiting here with baited breath - going blue soon!!!!

[Logan]

I do hope things went well this morning, Kim! I'm sure you're still cutting mats and framing at this point, but I think we are all awaiting some word from you!!!!

I had to chuckle at Karen's comment about the shoes. Quite some time back (probably 5-6 years ago or longer), I was recruited by a company (bank) that was headquartered in Temecula, CA. They had a regional office in Knoxville, TN where I would report and where I had my interview. Knoxville is about a 3 hour drive from Greenville and I drove up the morning of my interview. Helen was sick with strep throat and my parents came up to stay with her so I could go on this interview. I wore my "comfortable", very scuffed up loafers for the drive and had my dressy, nice black shoes in the car to change into when I got there. It was pouring down rain and I had to rush inside as a result and I totally forgot to change my shoes! I was interviewing with 5 professional men in a circle, with no table to hide my feet. When I realized what I had done, I about died and finally just looked at the 5 of them and told them what I did. They laughed and always gave me a hard time about it, after I got that job! LOL!!! The other horrible, but later funny thing, that happened in that interview was that I also forgot to turn off my cell phone. My daughter was known for changing the ring tone on my phone and right after the interview started, my cell phone rang and it was Helen (my daughter) calling me. The worst part was that the ring tone was "La Cuca Racha" (however you spell that). Again, I thought I would DIE! And I still got the job! Ha Ha!!!!!!

I hope your day was good, Kim! Fingers, paws and claws crossed for you!!!!

I hope it went well!

[lizbud]

Logan, that story of the shoes & the ring tone are hilarious. My face
would have turned 3 shades of red.

I am still waiting to hear back from Kim. Fingers still crossed here.

[borzoimom]

Well?????? lol..

[catnapper]

Wellll....... I kicked interview butt! I was there from 9:30 til 12:00, and I have to go back tomorrow for about 4 hours of testing. I would have stayed today to get it all out of the way but I had another commitment with my friend in her frame shop and I knew I couldn't let her down. They totally understood. I have to show them just how much I do and don't know about the computer program they use..... I'm actually terrified of it because I am 100% proficient with most of what he's going to test me, but there are functions I didn't even know existed let alone how to use them! Then they want me to take a personality test where they ask me hundreds of questions like "Would you ever steal?" then ask the same question 5 other times but in a different way.

The funny thing? Just as I was trying not to do a happy dance in the parking lot, I checked my cell phone, and there was a message from the OTHER company I was REALLY wanting to work for.... and I have an interview with them on friday! Oh I can't believe it! Two serious potential jobs in one week! Woohooo!!!!

Thanks a million times over for all the prayers and positive thoughts! I think they worked, but don't stop those prayers coming, I need to keep them up til I get a real offer and start my new job

happy Happy Joy Joy, Happy Joy Joy, Happy Happy Joy Joy- Everybody Congo Too!

[Rachel]

Oh my, it certainly does sound like you *kicked interview butt*. Whoopee and good for you. Keep us posted on the progress.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kim, thanks for the great update. I hope that you'll also do well at the other interview and will be offered both jobs so you can pick which company you'd like to work for. Good luck and more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

[Killearn Kitties]

You mean I have to keep my fingers crossed all day today too? Do you know how hard it is working like that?? Well done so far! Good luck today!

[Pam]

As often happens to me I come upon a thread after much of the *action* has already happened. From the start of this thread, which I have just read from the beginning, I felt in my heart that you'd have the job by the time I finished reading. You are just WAAAYYYYYY too talented to not have someone grab you up. Now there are potentially two employers wanting you! No surprise there! Kim I hope that whatever is the best *fit* will be the one you go with. I am sure they will both offer you a job. See how much confidence I have in you. Don't let a silly little thing like a computer worry you. Anyone can learn things on a computer but very few people have the innate talent that you have. Fingers crossed for you but I know you won't even need that.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I have to agree with Pam, Kim. I'm chuckling at you being so surprised that people want you to work for them. After having interviewed hundreds of prospects in my last job, I know that you have 150% of what anybody/everybody is looking for in an employee. I have no doubt in my mind that you'll be working very soon and offers will still continue to pour in. You may not realize it but you're one of the most clever and resourceful people I've ever had the pleasure to be acquainted with. You'll do well in anything you do

[catnapper]

Awww shucks guys, I'm blushing here! Thanks for the compliments.

Right now, this creative girl is one exhausted girl. I was up all night trying to figure out what I'm going to be tested on this afternoon. I managed to get one concept but the other just blows my mind. I did warn him I have never usaed that function.... what else can I do?

Well, now I'm off for round 2 of the interview!

Then I'm coming home and going to sleep!
