Job Interview!

[plantlady]

I am quite excited... I got a call with a pre-interview, interview... for a job I applied for.

I am currently a SAHM, my youngest is going to kindergarten next year :(

So, I am back into the working world. I have obtained two degrees, while being home with my children, but never worked in the professional working world.

I applied for two jobs, both within the school district, so I will be home with them after school and summers, the one that I was called about is the higher paying of the two, and the most enjoyable, I think. So, I am quite excited about this. I was told I would hear back again soon, about an interview next week. I'm not great at interviews.. but, I will go in with confidence, knowing I am the BEST person for this job.

That's it.. just excited. My kids don't care.. had to share with someone. :cooldance:

How very exciting for you! That's a big step, but it sounds like you are completely ready for it. When you find out when you interview will be, let us know and we can prep you!

[plantlady]

Excellent.

My DH is filled with pointers as well.

Hopefully I'll hear something soon.

Good luck!

Great job!! Sounds like you already have the important things down: understanding of the position, confidence, and a positive attitude!! :sunshine:

Congratulations! I just got my first "real" job last year, and I'm 39. I have either stayed at home, worked for my dad, gone to school, worked at the grocery store, or some combination of those until last year. I hadn't had a professional job until now and it was agonizing for me going through the interview process. Good luck to you, remain calm and think happy thoughts.

Congratulations! 2 months ago I re-entered the work force after being a SAHM for 13 years. It was kind of scary at first but I'm really happy and enjoying my job. :)

[luvdisney00]

Congratulations on your good news, and best of luck getting the job. You sound really ready to do a great job.:sunshine2:

My youngest is going into pre-K next year and right now I am juggling 2 part time jobs on the weekends and around DH's schedule. Next year I may be in your same position!

[plantlady]

Currently I am working weekends around DH as well.. occationally weeknights, where he gets home, we exchange smiles, and I rush off to work.

This new job will be a BIG step up.:cooldance:

[Magical JenK]

I haven't heard anything yet.

My DH forgot to pay the phone bill... :confused: so our phone was shut off for about 12 hours (due to business hours and such :computer: ).. but, I ran to the phone company first thing that next morning... Hopefully they didn't try to call.

I will probably call tomorrow, just to make sure. Let them know I'm still interested.

The job that I was excited about a couple weeks ago.. I was never even called back for an interview. I was not qualified 100% for that job, so it's not a shocker, but I will still blame my DH, for not paying the phone bill. :rotfl:

However, TODAY, the second job I applied for (I applied for two at once) called, and now I have an interview on Thursday!

Oh my. I haven't done an interview for 3 years. :eek:

I get so nervous, but I am VERY qualifed for this job. A bit too qualifed. It is a librarian aide at the elementary school. Hours will work great for the kids.

ok. possitive thoughts!

must get this job!!! :banana:

Pixie dust sent! :)

[plantlady]

the day is here.

I'll have to find out what this job's position is on my obsessing over the arcade games while working. :rotfl:

[coastalgirl]

So how did the interview go????????

[plantlady]

It went pretty good. I'm feeling good about it. There was lots of laughter, and we all hung around for about a half hour after the interview just talking. One of the interviewers said "I look forward to getting to know you better.". that's got to be a good sign!

I find out before we leave on vacation, if I get the job. *fingers crossed*

[coastalgirl]

That's great!! Sounds like it went well!! Hope it all works out!!
You have to keep us posted!!

Oooh that sounds great. My bf just interviewed and got a new job and he knew he was doing well when they started laughing and just talking rather than the formal interview. He actually got a response 5 minutes after his thank you email to call the hr people and found out they were basically waiting on 1 other partner to sign off on his hiring.

My fingers are crossed. Laughing and talking that long is a pretty good sign.

I haven't heard anything yet. I'm suppose to hear from them some time this week.. but we're leaving on vacation one day earlier than I planned. I am getting nervous, just waiting for the call!

[coastalgirl]

Do you have a contact person there you could call?? Maybe just give them a call and tell them you are interested in the job but are leaving to go out of town. That would help, maybe. I am not very good at the job interview thing, that is why I work for myself! Good luck and I hope you get the job.

[m 'n c]

Well I'm still crossing my fingers for you. Hoping you get that call soon.

I am keeping the pixie dust and wishes going for you! I've been full-time job searching myself, with not too much luck, unfortunately!
