Wishing you all the best on your interview! This sounds like an exciting and positive opportunity :)

job and was displeased at the rustiness of my interview skills. (It had also been several years since I had a real interview.) Can you get someone to practice with in the next week? There are some great online resources…

Good luck! I hope it works out the right way for you. It’s always nice to change jobs internally, so you get new challenges and opportunities without having to learn new driving routes, company mores, etc.

Good on you Wren….that’s excellent news. A haircut, a new suit and your incredible expertise in what you do, will all come together on the day. Just be yourself! :-)

It sounds like ‘perfect’ timing ~
I agree with all of the above…
and I may check for potential interview questions and review them ~
couldn’t hurt….

And as JWillow said…always best to be genuine <3

xoxoxoxo

and you’ll probably never be 100 % ready on an information level, but you can be 100% ready on an attitude level! Focus on what you can bring to the job in question and be genuine and honest. Don’t forget to have questions ready for them, too. Interviews are a two-way conversation and you will be choosing them as much as they are choosing you.

I’m going through the same proces right now, having had my final interview yesterday, which I feel I knocked out of the park and did terrifically in. Right now I’m waiting for the callback, one way or the other. Be ready to answer right off why you think you are the right person for the position. Try and stay relaxed; most of the time interviewers aren’t very comfortable doing the interviewing and if you bring a relaxed and calm and confident energy, it will help them relax and connect with you. Let’s see… Occasionally talk about the position as if you already have it: “I plan to streamline such and such and boost this and that”, then kinda catch yourself and add with a grin “if you select me, that is”. And have mission driven reasons for wanting the position, not just to escape your current position. Try to visualize yourself in the job, doing the job. It will help them see you in the job, too.

If at all possible, be the last person they interview. They may be leaning certain directions, but no one has made up their minds and being last will allow you to leave the strongest impression.

That’s my advice, I hope it is helpful. More than anything just be yourself. Sending you multitudes of good energies and strong intentions that your ambitions and desires be realized. I am certain that the Universe will manifest the best results for you.

They would be lucky to get you. :-)

that the only question you are answering in a job interview, no matter how they phrase it, is, “How are you uniquely qualified to exceed the expectations of this position?” If you can show them, through your answers to all their questions, that you are uniquely qualified to exceed the expectations of the position, they have no choice but to hire you!

I found it a helpful lens. A good song that makes you feel fantastic is absolutely necessary, too. Listen to it just before going into the interview.

You’ll do great. Be yourself, be confident and enjoy the moment. :)

I hope it went well.
Your post reminds me of that quote that goes something like: when you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

I was just thinking the same thing as imgladimme. I think it’s pretty incredible that as soon as you had an insight as to what was going on, the Universe said ‘Yes!’ and presented you with a wonderful opportunity… right in your lap!

How cool is that!!
