Need PS Fairy Dust for job interview tomorrow!

[monarch64]

I could really use some positive vibes and the fabulous PS fairy dust tomorrow...I''m interviewing with a local independent jeweler for a SA position that could transition into an assistant manager role. As some of you know, I lost my job due to downsizing in June this summer and have been taking my time in the job search to find something I really love, and I think this could be it! Normally I wouldn''t try to draw attention like this on the board, but this could mean a very positive career change for me and a step in the direction I''ve been wanting to go for years now. The support of all my PS friends would mean the world to me!

Just saw this Monnie - good luck today!!!

 

[onedrop]

Hope I am not too late to wish you the best with the interview! Sounds like a great opportunity.

 

[monarch64]

Thanks again everyone!!!!

My interview went GREAT! I talked with the owner, his wife, and the store manager for over an hour...I think that''s a good sign! They said they''d let me know in a day or two, so here''s hoping!

BTW, the PS cheerleading team is amazing, but can someone come with a big ol'' vacuum and suck up all this fairy dust? IT''S EVERYWHERE!!! LOL!

 

[omieluv]

Hey there! I just saw your thread and I am so sorry for not wishing you well, but I think I did on another thread, can you forgive me?!

From what you describe, it sounds like your interview went well. The fact you spent over an hour with them is a sign that you are a viable candidate for the role. What they will do today, is put their heads together and discuss how they feel you will fit into the team & consider other candidates. My guess is that they will probably make you an offer because I doubt they have interviewed anyone with management potential, after all you do have considerable experience in merchandising, which is related to what you would be doing. Also the fact that you are rather intelligent and have tons of passion for the industry, helps a bunch too!! Congrats!!!

Since I missed your post, I will gladly clean up after the fairy dust...

 

[door knob solitaire]

Monnie...

Just scoot aside, let the "ol wind bag blow"....Whooosshhhh. There you go! You knew I was good for something!

[monarch64]

LOL...

First, Omieluv, no problem! You did wish me well on the Burberry bag thread, and I responded to that today as well. And thanks for the positive thinking that they will give me an offer, I do want to point out that I think one of the reasons they''re considering me is that I DO indeed have a fair amount of management experience (I''ve held a supervisory or management role at virtually every job I''ve had since my 1st year of college), and we talked in depth about that aspect of my work history as well. So what''s NOT to love about moi? Ha! Merci beaucoup for the clean-up effort, hee hee.

DKS, your post cracked me UP! Thanks so much for all your encouragement AND for blowing some of that air (hot or cool, whatever works) my way! I am super blessed to have gotten to know so many great people on this forum...I even referenced PS in both my phone interview and the interview today. Unfortunately they had never heard of this site, but that''s ok. I think I painted a very lovely picture of it! I even managed to wow them (I think) with some of the knowledge I''ve gained as far as colored stones, the 4 c''s of diamonds, and jewelry designers in the industry, so I think that was also a huge plus!

I''ll keep you all posted...I''m thinking very positive thoughts!

 

[Kaleigh]

So glad it went well Monnie!!! I''ll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!! I don''t mind the cramping, you are just what they need. They''d be lucky to have you!! I''m going back to Nantucket, in a day or two, depending on the weather, will be checking this thread for sure!! GOOD LUCK!!!

 

[monarch64]

Thanks Kaleigh! I really appreciate your kind thoughts and words! Have a great time in Nantucket, and I''ll keep ya posted!

 

[KimberlyH]

Monnie, it sounds like your interview went well, HOORAY! I''m still blowing fairy dust your way!
