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.windsor wrote:
Mega Interview Vibes...don't forget to channel you inner Windsor
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, 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.

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

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.

Red is a power color. It proclaims, "I am confident."
Good luck! Sleep tight tonight!
