Right balance between responsible and interested???

[Gypsy]

Okay. So I just got another call from one of the companies that contracted me for interviews.

The hiring manager wanted a 30 minute interview with me over the phone next week.

I made the appointment for Wednesday as I have responsibilities on Monday and Tuesday at work. BUT I honestly could move (fairly easily) my appointment on Monday to a different time. I didn''t want to seem to eager, and when they asked about the time slot I told them I had a meeting (true). I thought that not changing the appointment gave the impression of being responsible.

Should I contact them and make an earlier interview appointment? I would just tell them that I was informed the meeting was cancelled and move it to a later time.

What should I do?

I''m so nervous. It''s a great company, and I am REALLY interested in the job.

 

[Gypsy]

Okay I sent the note. I want a new job. LOL.

 

[neatfreak]

Never been to Chicago. Hmmm. I''ll have to keep that in mind. I may be in Minnesotta soon. Mom is being referred to the Mayo Clinic.

 

[Kaleigh]

Good luck Gyspy!!! Fingers and toes are crossed for ya!!!

 

[rockzilla]

Gypsy - I can tell you hate your job from all of the "OMG I hate my job posts" so I certainly hope you get an offer for this one!

Can''t wait to meet you at the end of may.

[rainydaze]

best wishes gypsy!!!! i would have advised changing your interview to monday, so i am glad to see you did! here''s hoping you have a new job soon!!!!

i came across your recent ''lord please help me'' thread and my heart went out to you (i''m sorry i didn''t see it in a timely fashion to offer you one more voice of concern and support when you needed it.) this is your life, and you don''t get those hours, days, months, years back...... there is no need for some crazy person to reek such havoc on you and spoil your hours, days, months, years! you can''t change her, and you most likely can''t get her to leave, so it is on you to take care of you and i am so thrilled to see you are doing just that!

[isaku5]

More PS magic fairy dust coming your way!!

You need out of your current job yesterday....

One of the things that bugs me most is that your boss gets her wish. I hate to see a bully rewarded in any way.

 

[Gypsy]

Thank you very much Kaleigh!

Rockzilla... thank you and I can''t wait either!! (I actually like my JOB, it''s my boss and her boss that I have a problem with).

Hi Rainy! I really appreciate the support and advice. I haven''t heard anything back about moving the interview to Monday. But if nothing else it will confirm for them that I am interested. I really am trying to take care of me. I promise. ((HUGS))!!!

Musey...

Thank you very much.

Isaku-- THANK YOU! Yeah, it is rewarding her in some ways. But, if I get a job at a company like this one... bigger, more fiscally stable in this economy, better benifits (I looked and was seriously HAPPY)... I''m really the winner, and she''s still running scared because of her attitude and personality. You won''t be surprised to find out that she''s not well liked. She''s tolerated, and barely at that.

 

[FrekeChild]

Oh I hope you get it Gypsy! Most PS Dust floating your way!!

(((Hugs)))

 

[October2008bride]

Good luck Gypsy! I think you made the right move - you looked responsible in keeping your existing appointment, but then showed interest in clearly wanting to move it up once the existing appointment was "cancelled". I will cross my fingers for you and I''m sure you''ll wow them!

 

[Gypsy]

Thank you Freke honey! How is mom?

October-- I REALLY hope that''s the impression I made. It''s such a balancing act. Thank you for the crossing fingers!

 

[Gypsy]

YES! Confirmed for Monday at 1:30. She gave me the hiring manager''s name. And he''s linked in so I found him, and now know more about him. YAY! THE PS FAIRY DUST IS WORKING IT''S MOJO!

 

[sera]

I agree with October... I''m sure you came across responsible and interested. Best of luck to you in getting away from your miserable boss! I hope you really enjoy your new job, boss and coworkers.

Yes, fly out on the 27th of May!!! I will be there, DJ and Monarch too!

Gypsy, sending strong good job vibes (and prayers) for you sweetie and a huge ole hug!!!

 

[monarch64]

I think you did exactly the right thing, Gypsy. Fingers crossed and lots of PS dust your way that you find a better opportunity!

Yes, do fly out here! Would LOVE to meet you!

 

[zoebartlett]

Best wishes for a great interview tomorrow, Gypsy! You''re gonna do great!

 

[miraclesrule]

Here''s another one with fingers crossed for your interview tomorrow. I understand the loving your job, but not the boss and boss thing. It''s time to switch to Leaders and Mentors...NO MORE Bully Bosses.

You go girl!!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Gypsy, just wanted to wish you luck!

Neat Freak, don''t think I ever told you this but my parents fell in love over plaza burgers. My dad STILL talks about their special sauce.

 

[ladypirate]

Good luck on your interview tomorrow, Gypsy!!! I''ll add my dust to the rest floating around on this thread--they''ll love you!

 

[Pandora II]

I''m going to find out what time 1.30pm is there over here and I will think of you and send ''you will hire Gypsy'' thoughts into the interviewer''s head for the whole 30 minutes!

Best of Luck!
