Mega Interview Vibes...don't forget to channel you inner Windsor :-BD

In your mind pretend YOU are interviewing THEM to see if you want to work with them. First of all, because in a way you are, and second it gives the air of confidence and tends to knock down the interview jitters. (although I will admit to being a sick-o who loves job interviews...they're fun)
Thanks for the advice, Windsor! I like that idea a lot and will try to focus my eneries in that direction. As you said, it really IS true. And, as an added bonus, I get to visit a new place and eat at a few fancy restaurants on someone else's dime. :D

Thanks, all! Am in Galveston now, relaxing at the hotel. Having a casual dinner tonight with potential future coworkers. Interview all day tomorrow; fancy dinner at an Italian restaurant tomorrow night.

Let the fun and games begin!

Don't wear white to dinner tomorrow night - it'll show the red sauce spatters! If you do wear white, order Alfredo sauce! :D

Enjoy the process! :happy-bouncyblue:

I thought you were allowed to wear white if it's after Memorial Day, right? ;)

Spend a lot more than just "someone else's DIME". You've driven a long way for this.

She's not going to wear white to dinner tomorrow night because it's after Labor Day.

Since you're already there, I'm not going to stress you out with what you should wear to the interview. I trust you've followed our earlier discussions of stockings, and AW's "Advice Needed" thread regarding what to wear to the interview. You already know what to wear (and it's not white). The most important thing to wear is a smile.

I'm going with black dress slacks, silky red blouse, and my cool new black pumps.

Perfect.

Red is a power color. It proclaims, "I am confident."

Good luck! Sleep tight tonight!

Just tuck us all in your pockets and take us with you. We're with you every step of the way. Gosh, this is great! Windsor gets the pocket nearest your heart! Bless it!

You go girl.
