So Nervous/Dream Job
 

I just got asked for an interview for my dream job at my dream company. I am so nervous and so excited! I have so many things to do before Monday! Wish me luck!

BTW, along the same lines, what is your dream job and company? How would (did) you handle it when you finally got asked for an interview? Just curious...and trying to keep the Alpha Phi forum hopping!

Alpha Phi Love,
Jen

Go Jen!
 

Good luck Jen! I am sure you'll do great! :)

AOE,

Good luck Jen! You are going to be fabulous! My dream is to have my own publishing house for legal and academic publications. Sounds real exciting, huh? When I was in law school I was on the editorial board of my journal and my job was to do the final 5 edits on my journal. I had the hardest time dealing with our publishing house and vowed that some day I will open my own as competition.

Good luck Jen!!!

If We Can Dream it We Can Do it!
 

...I hope.

Jen

BTW Thanks!
 

Thanks for the support ladies! I appreciate it. I interview Monday at 11:00 a.m. I'll let you know how it goes.

I've enjoyed hearing about your dream jobs! :)

Jen

First--Good luck Jen! I can't wait to hear how it goes. BTW, where are you interviewing?

My dream job? Hmm...

Princess (ha ha!), no seriously, I think it would have to be Travel Writer. I would love to be able to travel all over the world, eating exotic food, staying in amazing places, and writing about them for a living.

:)

Hey ladies!

I just got back from the most awesome day spa, where I got my hair cut, brows waxed, nails done...the whole enchilada...in preparation for my interview. :)

For those who asked, my interview is at CNN. I am SO nervous.

Jen

Jen, I am so jealous! I just got my hair cut but I want to go to the spa more than anything. Maybe after I get laundry done, my car washed and my place cleaned I'll call and figure out when I can go visit the spa too.

Good luck on Monday! You are going to be Phinominal! I will be thinking of you -- let us know how it goes!

aoe,
Laura

Me too!!!
 

I would LOVE to go to a spa and get an entire day of beauty done! BTW, where did you go? I live up north in Alpharetta and I'd love to hear of some fabulous new place!

Best of luck on your interview Jen! (crosses fingers)

:)

Update...
 

Hi Ladies,

I had my job interview with CNN this morning at 11 a.m. I went back to my stylist to get my hair done prior to the interview, so I felt really great when I got to CNN Center.

It was a fabulous day here in Atlanta--bright blue sky, crisp autumn air--perfect for walking, eating al fresco, or a job interview!

I was so nervous. I got there an hour ahead of time and took in the sites inside CNN Center. The security there right now is unbelievable--cops everywhere. My briefcase was searched twice.

Anyway, I got the whole behind-the-scenes tour of CNN Interactive. I was so excited that I am afraid I might have come across as a bubble head at first.

I was taken to a board room that overlooks Centennial Olympic Park and the city--what a fantastic view! WOW! My interviewer was nice, but a little reserved. I think I got a bit rattled at the beginning--CNN has always been my dream. I was overwhelmed by it all, but once I settled down, I think I gained my footing.

I am disappointed in myself for getting "spazzy" at the beginning, but I think I recovered well. Metaphorically speaking, I think I made the basket, but it wasn't the slam dunk I had hoped for. I feel good about it, but I really couldn't "read" my interviewer.

Either way, it was an absolutely amazing experience. I had so much fun and feel very positive and confident at just having been asked to interview. :)

I will definitely keep you posted!

AOE,
Jen

Yea Jen!!! I was just about to post asking how it went and will be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed until you hear. Off to chapter meetings... The life of an advisor. FUN!

aoe,

Laura

Yippe! I got the job!
 

I am thrilled to report that I got the job at CNN. I got the call about an hour ago. I start Monday. Hip, hip hooray! :)

Jen

CONGRATULATIONS!
 

Jen, that is so wonderful and exciting! I am so proud of you and happy for you and you've really made my day eight millions times better!

Have a very fun weekend -- celebrate your socks off!

Laura

What an awesome Alpha Phi!
 

Congratulations Jen!!!! From one Red Raider to another. You represent Texas Tech well!!!! Good Luck on monday!
