[QUOTE="Star*, post: 262325, member: 4964"] Congratulations on getting the job that you wanted. Second - I don't see you as winner of second place. I went for a torturous interview before and when it came down to it - there was one other girl that in my humble opinion was not as qualified as I was but was "perky" or "perkier" and one man in a panel of 10 decided that her perky personality was better at 5 am than my serious - let me tell you what I know about running a business attitude. In the end? They picked her. I got a 'gosh it was so close' and perky explaination. After that? The word perky could get you a smack. Then I got a call - two weeks into her new job and 1 week into my new job - that she couldn't do the job, had really faked her way through the interveiw with her little perky attitude, and would I consider coming to work for them? As much as I wanted to - and would have moved the earth to be there at the time of the job award? I was now 6 states away and in a new job. SO I said no. Then I got my say in that perhaps Mr. "Oh isn't she perky" would be left out of the next round of grueling interviews and make sure to look at a womans qualifications rather than her perky whatevers.....and I meant it. The woman on the phone just gave me an mmmmmmm. A year later? The boss quit, the business is in turmoil, totally OVER budget, not managed by a professional sr. level office administrator person and loosing clients and I'm not sad at all. My Dr. Seussical Hat is off to you Beth -I hope they appreciate you. Hugs [/QUOTE]
