no, there is no mouse. i just have a job interview.
i have never ever ever ever had a job interview before.
i don't know what to do, when to do it, what to wear, what does one wear to a thing like this?
i know it is better to err on the side of more formal than casual, but how formal? this is a law office. ok so maybe formaler than normaler...(ok ok it was bad, but i had to do it!)
tips, comments, sinde remarks, help?

Posted by: jbo at May 13, 2004 11:49 AMwear your grey skirt with the pinstripes and that pink top or something like that. black is always good. you can borrow my heels if you want. ummmm...trying to think if i have anything small enough for you. pretty much don't think i do. hm. just go for something professional...wear hose (an hour or 2 won't kill you...and wierdly enough, future employers tend to notice that believe it or not. kinda dumb but whatever)...you want to do the simple but classy thing for this. call me if you want the shoes of if you want to raid my closet.
Posted by: gwen at May 13, 2004 12:05 PM..oh, and you'll want your curling iron which is still sitting on my bathroom sink :-D
Posted by: gwen at May 13, 2004 12:06 PMjust be yourself. you're not the only one being interviewed. remember that you need to get a feel for whether or not you think you'd enjoy working for/with these people. they could be scary.

dark/muted, tailored but yet you. something you are immensely comfortable in and completely undistracted by. curling iron should not be left at office when you go.
and yes, measure them up. if you don't want to work with them for a year, don't go back for a second interview.
*GULP* here i go folks.
thanks for help, and encouragement. gewn, i found an outfit. a nice cream silk top with a bananna republic flair skirt. mer says i look classy. =)

50 reasons why i hate south carolia:
1-YOU CAN'T FIND A STINKING JOB!!!!
i want to move back to vermont simply so i can have my bagging job back at hannaford which paid me about $1.50 more than i've been making for the past 4 years! sob*
i'm going to go bang my head on the desk and then help my mom make lasagna.
