Eeek! Interview in 2 hours

[rubytue]

Thanks again for all the interview advice last week. Hopefully I'll kick tail. I'm still stumped on one question bc while I do it, it's just such a part of everything I'm stuck coming up with specific examples. And that will make no sense to anyone but me lol

Oh and my trick on sneaking a suit on today without getting quizzed? I've worn a suit and/or jacket almost every day for the past week. Keeps down the questions. A coworker was laughing last week that he wore a tie and everyone asked if he was interviewing.

Good luck!!

Love your sneakiness. I can't imagine what people would say if I wore a skirt/dress to work.

Can't wait to hear how it went.

It's over. Not what I prepped for I think they really did want me to say what my previous boss did wrong and what I would do differently. I got that in a bit, but I was too conscious of boss bashing. *sigh*

Also, weird thing - it was totally tailored to me. I was expecting a panel with the same questions for everyone (fed job). Oh well.

Did they tell you what, if anything, will come next and when?

[Deleted]

Oh, and boo for wanting you to boss bash. That is weird.

[rubytue]

There is a second round of interviews with the people even higher. No idea how many will go on.

I think it's a good sign if the inteview was tailored to you. Fingers crossed for you.

I handed over a performance appraisal that was older, but spoke to my managerial experience (not my most recent, which had to be included, but when I was a team lead). I also gave a reprint of one of my publications. I brought it b.c the questionnaire was ALL TECHNICAL and asked about research work. I did not get to show my workload charts. Given they were focusing on getting the work down with the resources you have, I didn't think it appropriate to say "we are understaffed and here is how I prove it."

And I'm beat. Mentally and physically. I totally want to catch up on the rest of the board, but the two JW threads on CEP took the rest of my mental energy just to read lol

Well, that's weird... especially after the guy was all formal last week.
