Right balance between responsible and interested???

P: 4/25/2008 12:42:24 PM
Gypsy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,306 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/9/2005	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.

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

rainydaze Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,498 Last Post: 5/19/2009 Member Since: 5/1/2007	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!

Gypsy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,306 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/9/2005	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.

october2008bride Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,753 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 9/4/2007	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! ******************

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Here's to you miss! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
