Andrea Julia · Coach

I've been through 2 phone calls now. The 1st didn't go great, but I think the 2nd went really, really well. Just one more to go (and it is someone who I wouldn't be working for/with, it's just someone they want me to talk to because of her experience and seniority). Then of course all the interviews I have tomorrow....

katya · BCBG

I hope everything went good for you!

Andrea Julia · Coach

I think the 3rd went well, too. They all mentioned that they were impressed by the responsibilities I have because I have taken on thing outside of the scope of my job responsibilities. I just got home from work. I have a lot of work to do and wanted to make sure everything important got done regardless of me interviewing 3 hours of the day. So, tomorrow is the BIG DAY where I meet with the entire dept. I just found out one of the people I am interviewing with is someone I interviewed withabout a year ago and didn't get the job. She had given HR the feedback that she thought I would be good at that position once I gained some more experience.

I feel energized right now. I wish i could go interview now. I can't wait until it's over. Right now, I'm looking forward to it being over more than actually finding out if I got the job.

I didn't see this post yesterday - but I'm sure you were amazing! When do you find out about everything? And how did your review go with your boss?

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

i am sure it went great---you sound pumped, that's always a good sign (usually if an interview went badly or so-so, i don't feel pumped). keep that momentum and knock 'em dead tomorrow!!!

I think it went well. I felt myself slipping or struggling for words at some times (not too many), but I think that happens to everyone. They are making the decision on Monday. I really hope I get it, but right now, I am just so relieved that the interviewing is over. I haven't really started looking forward to or worrying about Monday yet.

My review went pretty well. I got the middle rating, "successful", that everyone gets. I thought I deserved "outstanding", but I think arguing this would be futile.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

congratulations on being done AJ! so proud of you!!!

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

Everyone gets "successful" so you don't get too excited and ask for a raise, or start feeling confident enough to work somewhere else. Funny how all workplaces are alike. They all hire the same consultants I guess.

I'm glad that the interview went well. Everyone stumbles a couple of times, so no worries. Please keep us posted. I'll be sending positive vibes your way!!
