Job Interview...

I have to be honest. It has been a long time since I have been on the other side of the table for job interviews. I pretty much walked into the positions I have been in for the last at least 11 years. I have done a variety of things although most jobs I either know someone or they come to me after hearing about the work I have done. The job I have currently my Mom hired me to do some scanning work (to clean up some mess some others had made) the company liked my work so much they kept me on. I have been here about 3 1/2 almost 4 years now. I love it although...

I am having to look at going back to work full time. I did my first interview a couple weeks ago with a local grocery store. They told me I was too over qualified. They said they had many positions for me but I never heard from them again. I feel that I did okay on the interview but my sister tells me that I told too much information. Although I still feel really good about it. I just was too over qualified. That is nice to hear but hard at the same time.

Tomorrow I have my first interview with a company that I would love to have a full time job with. I am interviewing with the Children's Miracle Network. I am really excited. Because I am so excited I am scared of blowing the interview. I think this job would be a really good fit for me. I think I could handle going back to work full time with a charity like this one. I am incredibly happy with working with the EAU and feel really fulfilled with the job I do there. I think that is how the job with CMN would probably be. I am excited about this idea.

I am scared of leaving my kids full time. But we have worked it out for Dad to stay home and work part time. He really needs to get his diabetes under control. I just hope as my sister says I need not ramble.

Job interviews and the job market is scary these days. I really wish that I could be a stay at home mom. Although I don't think I could do that full time either. I really enjoy being at work when I feel that I am doing something important. Wish me luck on my interview. I am scared to death.
