    Thanks for the advice Artsy.

    I'm still nervous, but I think I'll be okay. I'm just going to do my best, if they hire me, great, if not, I'll find something else. :)

    It's normal to feel nervous Alty. :)

    I'd like to greenie Stringer about something he said, that was indeed a good advice: find some questions to ask after the interview to show your interest.

    I've do some 'data response' some months ago concerning two people (a man and a woman) getting interviewed. One of the 'strong points' of the woman was that she asked questions after being interviewed, which was highly showing her interest in the job.

    There're also some other little things that you perhaps need to remember, details that you may forget:
    1. Have some chic and charming wear.
    2. Never show your back to your interviewer (even when leaving the room, after that, you can) except if she accompanies you to the door.
    3. Be as calm as possible, avoid stumbling, try to keep eye contact.
    4. Try to be succinct with your answers.
    5. Try to keep a smile, a faint one works enough.

    How about you just invite your employer into the backroom and show her how much of an enthusiastic employee you can be?

    I bombed the interview big time. Stupid me. I was so farking nervous that I started rambling. I'm lucky they didn't ask me my name, I don't think I would have been able to give it to them.

    Also, the secretary I talked to lied. They did want references from previous employers. Three of them. Um, did you not read my resume? I haven't worked in 10 years, the job I had before that I was with for 5 years, before that I was in college.

    Do you really want to talk to my former boss of 20 years ago? I don't think he remembers me, if he's still alive!

    Then they started the questions.

    One of the questions, and I kid you not;

    If you were a vegetable what would you be and why?

    I said kumkwat, because it sounds silly.

    Ya, I don't think they'll be calling me.

    Beer? Okay!

    Kumkwat now that is funny. Maybe they will call you back because they know you have a good sense of humour.

    Alty, many times we think that we didn't do well and that is not their impression. Please wait to see what happens.

    I'll wait. I'll cross my fingers. I'll hope for the best.

    If this doesn't work out then I'm going to get serious about my wood working, I'm going to make it a business come hell or high water.

    So, either way, I have plans. :)

    Also, the book, my ducky book. I have a publisher that's interested (yes, another one) and he'll be calling tomorrow. If that book gets published, weee! If not, I'll go the self publishing route, only $300, sadly, I don't have it right now. :(

    Stringer, Joe, did I ever send you a copy?

    Do you want one?

    Can I get a copy too? I like books.. :)

    And don't worry about the job... just see what happens... if its meant to be, it will be...

    They usually ask those weird question as a psych test... so I don't know what your answer is telling them, but probably right that they will think you have a good sense of humor..

    You were supposed to worship the new Bunny lamp.

    The remote controlled Venus Butterfly needed to be ready to run to knock the edge off the interview. Best if the remote is randomly activated by another party far away.

    Your folder had to have some bunny pics to generate interest and then the entire bunny album handy,

    With that , the door will hit you on the way out.
