Got an interview

Altenweg · Aug 17, 2009, 02:10 PM

Hi everyone,

Well, it's time for me to get back to work. I applied for a job the other day, just got a call for an interview.

I'm very nervous.

It's been 10 years since I've been in the work place. Over 10 years since I've gone to an interview.

I have no idea what to expect, what's changed since the last time I did this.

They want three references. Do they just want the names, addresses, phone numbers, or a letter of reference? Letters are going to be hard, I haven't worked in 10 years, calling my old employer up for a reference isn't going to be easy, if it's even possible.

Scared here. My stomach is doing flip flops.

I have until Thursday.

Gulp.

Any tips?

I am?

Oh, ya, I am!

Sigh.

Why can't they just hire me and forget the interview? That would be easier.

You're all wrong; every last one of you.

Alty, all you need to do is this:
1. Buy yourself a laptop
2. Set your self-spanking bunny avitar as the background.
3. Bring said laptop to interview. Open and place directly in front of your future employer.

If they don't hire you on that alone, you don't want to work for a jackhole like that.

Show up naked.

If I was being interviewed by a man, that would be a plan. But..... girl.....no.

I have no business attire. I've been a stay at home mom for over 10 years. My wardrobe consists of jeans, shirts, shorts and skirts.

Sigh.

This is so stressful.

I really want this job.
