Job Interview Went Well

Just came home from my job interview.  It went well.  This interview is for a WIC Retailer Consultant gig at the state health department.  I interviewed with the two main bosses, and then with the person who directly supervises the position.  I particularly liked the supervisor, we chatted at some length about public health.  I think I have a shot at this job, it all depends on whether they think I'm too overqualified for the job.  I did point out to the supervisor that I didn't want them to dismiss me solely on the basis of my prior salaries (fed salaries are significantly higher than what CO pays), and that I would not have applied for the job if the salary range was unacceptable to me. Anyway, if nothing else, it was nice to chat with folks about public health. When I came home, I found an email from the feds which I think says I made another list and may be called for an interview.  I'm not sure, the wording was so "federalish" that I need to look at it again after I've had my dinner!  One more thing, it is F@*$#&% hot and humid in Denver today (not Texas humid, but it feels like it to us) and there's nothing quite like wearing a black suit on a hot day!  Oy!

Hi Kix, Congratulations.  I am going to get religious on you here and say a prayer to St. Anthony, he has always helped me to find jobs (as well as everything else).   I know you have a very impressive resume, but how do you find interviewing being  a "mature" woman.  I am hoping to change jobs sometime in the next year or so but terrified because I am 53.   Good luck and of course let us know what happens. BTW:  Did you have to wear panty hose too?? Jeanne

One of my sister's friends suggested lying about my age since my behavior is rather "youthful" (I think that's her way of saying I don't act my age), but all they have to do is count the rings under my eyes!    It's scary, looking for work in mid-life, but it's just one of those things I have to do.  I think a bigger problem right now is that the economy sucks donkey eggs so badly that more folks are competing for work.  I'd recommend job hunting while already employed, that way you don't look desperate.  And hell no, I did not wear panty hose!  I don't think I've worn panty hose since Reagan was president (the first time).  Seriously, with my thighs being so big, there's no way I'd find hose to fit my thighs that didn't fall off my waist and bag like a shar-pei in the calf area.  Pantsuits are quite liberating, and forgiving, too.  Kix

Great news!  I hope you hear something soon!

Thanks, Lauren!  I'm not familiar with your town, which embarrasses me since I lived in Arlington for a year (many, many moons ago).  Where exactly are you in VA? Kix

No worries, not many people are familiar with Aylett.  LOL.  It's about 30min east of Richmond in King William County.  :)

So glad that it went well. And was Chester in attendance? Patty <--- old enough the remember

Oddly enough, I did exercise today and after a short time, Chester left me.  I was able to walk into the interview without any hint of a limp.  Of course, I think I walked funny on the treadmill today because now my azz hurts.  It's always something, isn't it? Kix

Sounds really promising Kix!

Thanks!  BTW, your new avatar is smokin'!  Those beach babes in Pensacola better watch out. Kix
