I'm sure she gets diarrhea before going onstage.

Sorry, that was totally uncalled for.

Yeah, I think she's got the Elizabeths.

I'm sure Celine Dion has more than nickels. She surely has dimes. And dollars. Lots of dollars. ;)

What do they sell there?

I dunno. I do know they have Nickels, owned by Celine Dion.

I hear and feel ya K. Monster.com really works. But you have to send out a million resumes too. It was also good for me to spend more quality time on FB and playing video games.
kathryn Posted - 03/25/2006 : 10:00:46
Right you are. I don't get the dainty, fussy lighter syrups. So pretentious!

Thanks for your nice words, you guys.

I had a phone interview last year for a summer job, but i spent most of it talking to a robot which was fun! they phoned me up the next day, told me id got the job, but it was in scotland, so not really much use to me then! Let us know how you get on

By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it." - General George S.

If I lived in Montreal, I'd go to that underground mall ALL THE TIME.

Well, until I got bored with it, anyway.

We'll, if your competition is against the French kids, I'd say you have a great chance during these times.

Which is what I plan to do on April 19 and 20.

If I lived in Montreal, I'd stalk Wolf Parade.


I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

right smack dab in the middle of montreal, darwin. which is why i'm such a nervous wreck. it's the ideal job, which would, among other things, take me to where i want to be. all because a certain forum member from canada refuses to adopt me and i have to go via a work permit/immigration process.

Kathryn - would you have to move for the job?

Don't I know it? Whoever invented the idea of being "overqualified" should be dragged out in the street and shot (as Garfield might say).

I guess I actually have a temporary job (in addition to the part-time ones I've been doing), but I don't know when I'll actually be working at it.

Congrats Kathryn. Phone interviews really stink, particularly if there's more than one person on the other end.

My worst phone interview experience was I think my first. They had this terrible system where whenever I was talking the audio from their end was cutoff. So they would ask a question and would start off on my typical bullshit answer, but I couldn't hear them. I couldn't hear them agreeing or prompting me that they had heard enough. Each time I was left wondering should I keep talking or pause so that I can hear whether they're talking. I didn't get the second interview.

I'm off this weekend to South Dakota to interview for a job. Why I'm going, I don't know. Maybe I'll like it there (unlikely).
Homers_pet_monkey Posted - 03/22/2006 : 14:15:30
Well done Kiki.

Congrtulations, Kathryn! I'm sure the next interview will be a doozy!

Woo, go Kathryn! phone interviews are never fun, but you've got the worst bit out of the way now so your gonna do great!
Llamadance Posted - 03/22/2006 : 08:27:42
well done kathryn, good luck in the second interview.


That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

Broken Face Posted - 03/22/2006 : 07:43:21
congrats! i hate the interview process, but i know you'll do fine.

kathryn Posted - 03/22/2006 : 07:24:14
Thanks, you guys. I got a second interview, this one in person, so I won't feel as dorky as I did on the phone. I don't do good phone.

15 minutes till a telephone job interview possibly leading to a job i really really really really wouldn't mind having. could i actually be nervous?

Cheeseman1000 Posted - 03/22/2006 : 05:47:39
Well I can't argue with that. I don't have high ambitions, me, I like having this secure and undemanding job, and doing anything creative in my spare time.

jobs that I have to switch off from drive me crackers (even if the colleagues are friendly), i prefer the creative kind that don´t feel like work.

People slate 9-5's, I'm dead happy in mine. I like the fact that I can switch off at 5 and not have to worry about things. People are too demanding these days, they want all these fancy jobs. Pah.
