Need some folks in my corner...
Have an interview Wednesday AM. Trying to change jobs and it ain't easy at 53. Just a good thought is all I ask for.  |

Be confident! Have a family member or relative go over some possible interview questions with you, so youre a bit more prepared. You'll do FANTASTIC! |

Vic is right...here are a few.....
1: How long a lunch break would you like?
2: Is 6 weeks paid vacation going to be enough for you or should we make it 8?
3: For a company vehicle would the Hummer be good or would you prefer an F-350 extended cab diesel Ford?

Best of luck Fred Hope everything works out great for you.
I'd ask for the 8 weeks vaca to correspond with the fall run. And if so can it start immediately.  |

Thoughts sent your way
just don't tell them you fish  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I know how you feel! After 30 years of working in residential construction and a tired back I've gone back to college to get up to speed with the electronic age. Don't fret,the kids may be fast at the keyboard but the knowlege gained through experience has a greater value.Present yourself with " I not only know how , I also know why" |

Good luck Fred. I know you are the best man for the job. Good things also happen to good people. So, if things don't work out there (but hopefully they do), it probably just means something better for you is just around the corner. |

Best of luck. What everyone else said, plus a firm handshake and good eye contact are things that make a first impression with your interviewers. Also, take along something to write with and write down people's names and significant facts when time allows, so if you need to contact them again you're not asking for "what'shisname".

Thanks for the positive wishes. They help a lot. For those of you who don't know, I've been a bodyman for 35 years and it's way past time to get off the floor. I've had my appraiser's license for a while now and I've decided it's time to use it to make my living. Again thanks, the power of positive thought is very helpful.

Oh yeah, BigFish! Should I take a couple of extra tall-boys for the interviewer or is he on his own? I'm not sure of the protocal here.  Thanks again, guys! |
