Thank you all!

I'm off to bed now so that I can practice getting up early. confused

Hair cut and eyebrow wax tomorrow, then sorting out clothes for interview.

(I have a feeling there may be a wailing and a gnashing of teeth)

Goodnight all, moon

Hope it's the right job for you and I hope they offer it to you instantly. Good luck.

Will be thinking of you Phoenix. The best of luck. X x

Well, lip waxed and redness fading nicely, hair cut (fringe just a tad too short, but I think the slightly startled owl look is a cat walk sensation just waiting to happen), shoes polished, trousers checked for bottom, stomach and thigh capacity, it was close, but just about acceptable.

Now for something odd but good! Part of the job involves "liaising with local, regional & national press & freelance journalists". I have been part of an article in the DT's property section, and also been in the locals a few times. (And NO before you ask, it was not in the Courts News column). I had kept the press cuttings, and thought that if I could find them it would be a good idea to take them along.

I was fully prepared to spend a frustrating hour or so looking for them, as I am the first to admit that my home filing is not the best, but there they were, in only the second place I looked shock.

So, I have put them in my folder, along with the job description, a copy of the CV I submitted (had to check twice that it was the right one, I seem to have a number of different versions) and the covering letter I used.

Wonder what I have forgotten......................

phoenix Break a leg No no that's not right! Lots of luck tomorrow, I have a good feeling this time!
We'll all be willing you on, so let us know how it goes sunshine

grannyactivist Wed 27-Nov-13 17:43:55

Think I know what the job is; is it with K's as a PA/Marketing executive? If so then it would be a better 'fit' for you than your recent jobs I think and has a long term future.
Whatever - will have you in my thoughts (and prayers) - it would certainly be a wonderful Christmas present for you. xxxx sunshine

Mishap Wed 27-Nov-13 17:44:02

Early night - stay off the booze - good luck.

Ceesnan Wed 27-Nov-13 18:12:56

Wishing you the very best of luck, you deserve it.

annodomini Wed 27-Nov-13 18:38:04

Chin up, shoulders down, relax and be yourself - but beware of underwear malfunctions. flowers for luck. x

Anne58 Wed 27-Nov-13 18:49:14

GA spooky! You are spot on! How did you know????

Mishap chance would be a fine thing booze wise, incredibly frugal here at present. (Don't tell Digby, but we are thinking of rationing the cat biscuits)

Nelliemoser Wed 27-Nov-13 19:10:35

Best wishes Phoenix Keep calm and focused. Imagine the suits in their underwear. flowers

Anne58 Wed 27-Nov-13 19:20:06

Thank you all! grin Underwear all sorted! (big knickers, no chance of them being put on sideways!)

By the way, anyone else having problems with PM's? I've clicked on the PM bit on the line of the name of the person I'm trying to PM, but it's not working!

Riverwalk Wed 27-Nov-13 19:22:34

Big knickers, big smile .... what more could an employer ask for grin

Anne58 Wed 27-Nov-13 19:51:49

What, you mean I have to drop my trousers, show my big knickers, then drop them and lean over sideways! shock confused
