Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

'First Date'


Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Been a long time since I had a job interview, but I like to use the words "check on the status of" something.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

As a glorious part of my job, I just got to serve one of our tenants with a court summons for eviction. Take THAT deadbeat renter guy!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ask if there is a timeline is okay. Asking for a date isn't, because if there was a date. I woulda told you already.

Joe--from now on, I suggest you send a written thank you note directly to whoever interviewed you. It may not matter, but some managers set a lot of store by those things and you never know. We didn't hire one guy who blew us away in his interview because he never sent a note, and the head of that department felt that showed he didn't really want the job.

absolutely. If the person doesn't care, you've wasted two minutes. If they do care, it can make or break you.

Anyone have thoughts on email thank yous vs snail mail ones? As long as I'm in the interviewing mode...Also, interviews in my industry tend to be those "it's six hours and you meet with 15 people"--feelings on just sending to some people? To groups?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have no advice on interviews, but wish all you interviewees well.

when I had a marathon round of interviews, I wrote to each person who interviewed me specifically. Man, my hand hurt after that.

It could be also appropriate, though, to just send thank you notes to the hiring manager/big cheese/main point of interview contact and be sure to acknowledge the pleasure that it was interviewing with this person's colleagues.

{{{Cashmere and family}}} Oh love, I'm sorry. I, too, am hopeful that further treatment will make it all better.
