Vibes for Windsor

Post by windsor » May 21st, 2009, 6:18 am

My company had a reorganization yesterday - instead of my wonderful boss I'm now working for the village idiot. About a week ago at my former boss' urging (she knew what was comin') I applied for another position - it woul be a substantial step up. The interviews (six of them - yes SIX) are today.

Last night at about 9 there was a mighty boom - followed by a phone call from my neighbor that one of the trees in my backyard was on fire - followed by the lights going out. A branch from a tree in the yard behind me hit the powerlines, ignited and the transformer blew. Firetrucks showed up - made sure there was no risk of further fire (thank you 3 days of rain) followed by the power company. Cutting to the chase, at 2 am the tree guys were still chainsawing away (loudly) the lights came on about 3. It is now 6 and I've got 6 interviews on three hours of sleep.

Needin' vibes that I get the gig AND that I don't fall asleep in one of the interviews!! i-) i-) i-) i-)

Try the honesty approach. Let the interviewer in on the trouble at home and let them see how well you perform under this kind of pressure. :-bd

Best of luck! %%-

Even better, don't tell the interviewers about your problems last night, WOW! 'em like I know you will, and have co-workers tell the interviewers about the trials and tribulations you endured, without even batting an eyelash about the ordeal! They'll be impressed over how cool you were under extreme pressure, and didn't let personal problems interfere with work.

Major vibes to you, Windsor, and good luck!

I concur with Ozzie on this one, it will definitely convey to them in the face of challenges, you persevere and remain focused on the job at hand which means you are not an employee they will have issues with, but will receive huge value from! Vibes and prayers for your success today from VA! You WILL KNOCK THEIR SOCKS OFF! :-bd

Thanks for the vibes guys (and of course gals) - two down. One was with the guy who I'd be working for who made it sound like the job was mine if I wanted it and the interviews were a formality. However this ain't my first rodeo so I'm taking that with a grain of salt...

everyone who has ever left a job interview thinking 'GOT IT' only to never hear another word raise their hand....
=; =; =; =; =; =; =;

yeah, thought so....more coffee review my talking points (again) and get ready for the next one....keep those vibes comin'
