OT: Interview Update

First of all, thank you to everyone who said prayers and sent positive vibes my way.  They definitely helped as I felt confident throughout the interviews and rarely stumbled through my answers.  This board is the best when it comes to support for any aspect of our lives - I love you all so much for that.

As far as the interview goes, like I said, I felt very good throughout.  I had great conversations with each individual and felt like I gave relevant answers to each question.  With that said, I'll be surprised if I'm offered the job. I'm not sure my design skills are up to the quality that they are looking for. They showed me some of the work that they've done and mine paled in comparison.  What I did find out is that one of the two people that are currently in the position will be leaving and I would be backfilling his position. His end date is unclear though and therefore there would be time for some knowledge transfer before he leaves - which they may see as an opportunity for me to pick up what I don't currently have.

The recruiting manager said that I'll hear something within the next two weeks.  At this point I'm leaving it up to God.  If it's meant to be, it will be.  In the meantime, I need to hit the pavement hard in search of other opportunities.  If you know of anything in the area of desktop publishing, please let me know.

Thanks so much for all of your support!

Well I think it sounds promising, Tracy - they may not be looking for someone who can replicate what they've already done, but rather someone with POTENTIAL!  And I KNOW they had to see that in you!  That you could possibly spend some time learning from the guy who's leaving is only a plus!

Prayers will keep going up for you, my dear friend.  I hope you got a good night's sleep last night... 

Tracy~I agree with Darla, the fact that you are willing to learn and grow is a definite bonus, because you will be able to learn and grow into what they are looking for.  I know that God will provide the best opportunity for you!  Love & hugs! Nicole

Tracy....it might not be a positive yes but it sure isn't a no either. Hang in there I think you just might get the position. Your attitude and eagerness to learn new things is a definate plus!!

Keeping you in my prayers sweetie...connie d

Keeping you in my prayers, Tracy - you've got the right attitude about it, but expect the supernatural!

You are so calm, cool and colleected...you are a strong women Tracy!    Darla stated my thoughts perfectly!    I agree 100% WITH Darla..la..la....la!!!!!!

Sounds promising, Tracy!  I'll cross my fingers for you (well, as soon as I'm done typing!).  I know how hard a job hunt can be...I'm still in one myself. 

Don't count yourself out, sometimes companies want someone they can teach their own ideas to.  Every company has their own twist on things, they may see you as a bit of a blank slate.  You know enough not to be lost but still have things they can teach you their way.
