Tomorrow I have an intervierw at 5pm for a really good job. I think the interview may be in English. I sent in my CV in Swedish and when I was called for the interview he spoke to me in English (he started it). So I don't think I have to worry myself over talking Swedish.
Right now I have to run out and buy something to wear because I have nothing decent (that fits me).
Any one have any interview handling tips for me???
I'm so nervous and so excited!!

Oh my, good luck. That's just incredibly exciting.
I'm told the thing to remember in Swedish interviews is not to brag too much, because they're not looking for somebody to stand out and work on their own (usually), but looking for someone that can work well within the group. But I've never interviewed here so I'm just repeating what I've heard.
What's the job for?

Woohoooo! A huge belated Congrats! ;D Sorry I didn't post earlier but I haven't been online as often since I've been back in the states.
So! How did it go? I'm guessing wonderfully! You're totally qualified and it sounded like such a great position for you! Honestly, it's such a huge step just getting to the interview phase, you must be so excited! Well, I am totally excited for you and I hope it works out!

I GOT IT!!!!!!
I called him this morning because he was supposed to call me this week. He said they'd been so busy he didn't have a chance. But they were definitely interested in me to be the web design teacher! I'll be getting a call soon about salary, which I won't be picky about. I'm taking that job no matter what! WOOOOOOO!
I can't believe it! I'll be employed right after I finish SFI. I never thought this would happen. What a nice way to start my vacation :-D

Thanks Sabeine!! I guess I shouldn't cheer all the way until I have some sort of contract signed. But it's just about him getting a salary suggestion ot me first. Like I said, I don't care what it is, I'm not turning this down. I definitely feel like I'm "moving on up." I'll have my own money!! And income!! I won't need to rely on my Sugah Daddy any more LOL  And it will feel nice to feel useful. ;D |
