ooooh. a whole month? wow. my place will be lucky they get 2 weeks notice from me.
i’m sure you’ll get a great job. just remember to actually read anything handed to you and not to do your usual “skimming” of information.

you’ll do great. just uhm, don’t use my sample cover letter… you might not get the type of job you want.

LOL.. oh yeah.. Grampa wanted to talk to you about that… ;P

Best of luck on the new adventure!! At least you gave them a month…One very bad job, 3 or 4 years ago, I called my boss from my cell phone half-way to the office to tell them I wasn’t coming in. And that I wasn’t coming back, could they please pack my office and ship my things to my house…Lol. My current job, however, I don’t think I will ever leave…

One piece of advice from someone who has a lot of experience job-hunting: Do NOT waste your time going to ‘practice’ job interviews for jobs that you know you wouldn’t accept if it was the last job on earth. You’ll feel like a whore afterwards…. There’s nothing worse than trying to sell yourself to some prick who you feel nothing but disdain.

That ill feeling you’re having is nothing that a few Grey Gooses won’t take care of…Joie de Vivre!! You are young, intelligent, and highly marketable…Take this opportunity by the balls and run with it! And, definitley, knock back a few cocktails to celebrate! 😉

Le Will… oh hell no. I hate regular interviews—practice ones? ::shudder::
Jenn.. 🙂 You’re so sweet. 🙂

Good luck. Me doing the same. It sucks, I am too lazy blah.
Comment by Me, Myself and I — May 12, 2006 @ 3:10 am
Moxie.. I hope so. But yeah, you’re right—it won’t. 😉
Me.. oh good luck to you too then. 🙂

You’ll be fine! This is great; forces you to be proactive.
So I assume your boss took it well…?
