Interview today at 5 pm

A little nervous.

It's an international Project Manager (with some travel, Yeah!) at a big fortune 500 company.

Contract for 12+ months..Market rate (which is good!)

That anxiety and fear are kicking in..

time to go to the gym to get recentered.

Good luck!!!

I'll be thinking of you, as always. *edit* thinking of you in my sleep, given the time difference!

Travel? To Europe? Gosh, I hope so.

Hell, yeah! Actually, I'll travel anywhere now I've seriously got the bug. And especially if I have one of my buddies alongside.

Fingers crossed, pet.

All my fingers and toes are crossed.

When you stand outside say to yourself... "I am a problem solver, I'm a fixer, I CAN do!!'

Apparently that's what all bosses want!! (I believe it too!!).

Great news Minx!
You know that famous interview question.."What is your greatest strength and your greatest weakness?"

I used to answer it as so..

My strength is my perfectionistic tendencies, which enables me to perform at top levels for personal satisfaction. However, that drive for perfectionsism is also my greatest weakness, as it can make me less than tolerant of others lack of 110%.

That answer got me more job offers than anything else I said in the interview I think!

Fingers, toes, legs, and arms crossed for you !!

Hey Hey Minx as codependent as we all are and the need that we all have to fix everything and take control - well....how can you go wrong??? Knock em dead and take control !!! Remember - dress for success. No red.

Good Luck
