This is likely to be my last chance, please wish me well.

[Steel]

I have been chasing my dream job all my life and exclusively since the end of 2004 and this is the year that I was faced with the fact that I will more than likely never get in. When I realised that I would never achieve a position in my dream career I felt like my world fell apart but I had to try to accept it. I interviewed for a few admin jobs these past months and am still waiting to hear if they want me; but the thing is, in truth I don''t want them. If I take a job outside the sector it will look really bad on my c.v. and more than likely seal my career coffin; not that it isn''t dead already. But that said, holding out, waiting for my dream job does not pay today''s bills does it?


Then, in the middle of my despair I get a phone call from one of the top firms in my city calling me to interview next week. They got my details from my university. I have been preoccupied with this since the call and cannot imagine how my life would turn if I got this job. It is all I have ever wanted. I have been disappointed so many times that I am afraid to think about it and hope on hopes that I can do a great interview. I have met with my old boss who feels I am very capable of doing this position and has promised me an excellent reference. My last interview for a similar position was about 2 years ago and since then I have been working (both paid & volunteer) gaining experience in the exact areas this firm requires. Based on that I am hopeful but honestly I daren''t hope because if I miss this chance I will be devastated.

So please, please wish me luck. Luck that I manage to do a great interview and luck that they choose me.

Thank you all.

Steel, I wish you the best on your interview. Just try to relax and be confident in your abilities and experience and you will make a great impression! From the sounds of it, you would be a great prospect! I hope it goes really well!!! Remember, they need you too...don''t have a ''needy'' attitude, think of what you can offer them...that will set you apart from the others!


We had a job related incident today...DH learned that his job will be transferred to San Fransisco this summer...he has the opportunity to go to SF with his company and keep his job, but it would not be a good move for us over all...so he may have to start from scratch too...not a fun prospect in a state with near 20% unemployment. Ugh.

Again, I wish you the best! Keep us posted!

Steel it sounds like you are easily qualified and deserve this job - tbh, I think you need some more self confidence (just what I got from your post).
I know that can''t be easy if you''ve had disappointments in the past, but it should help you give a great interview.

I wish you the very best, success, and tons of interview/job dust!! Knock em dead lovey.
