Hi all, I have been not wanting to dwell on this or get my hopes up too high (that does not mean I am not totally preparing and I think I will be awesome at this job). So I have a job interview tomorrow! It is similar to my job but at a middle school running enrichment and after school activities. The best part besides getting a change of pace in supervisors is that it pays significantly more! Whew.

So wish me luck, I already chose the outfit and have my list of the top 5 strengths I bring to the job ready to go.

Okay had the interview, two people were from my department and the other was the principal. I forgot to ask when they will know who they are hiring but other than that I think it went very well.

I didn't get it, I am glad they told me quickly. Sounds like people in my department doing similar jobs didn't all get interviews and I was likely second choice. The person who got it has been at that school 3 years in the position immediately below it. I got lots of good and encouraging feedback, still trying.

They will remember you and if a similar opening comes up, you will be in line for it.

I think so too, there was a feeling that instead of seeing me in my current position and permanently there that they see me as having potential to move and grow. I think it was the principal who wanted a person she knew and possibly if I had sold myself very very well I could have gotten the job. I was affected by having so many life issues going on, didn;t do as much research and prep. For that I did very well, I got a great compliment on my cover letter (I wrote that in about an hour tops) so that is validating to my writing skills.

Now I am going to get ready for my meditation facilitator training and my French study. Never a dull moment

Too bad you didn't get it this time, ZG, but congratulations for putting yourself out there. It is hard to do -- takes guts -- but it is the only way to keep growing and improving. That you were #2 to a strong inside candidate -- even when you are going through so much stress at home -- is a testament to how well qualified you are. Keep on keepin' on! We're all rooting for you here.
