OT - Spare a thought
for me tomorrow (Wednesday) morning as I head off into another job
interview. This one is for a school close to home, 4 days per week with school holidays off. DH thinks I'm a shoo-in seeing as how the business manager of the school I worked for last term is good friends with the principal/headmaster of THIS school and has (I'm sure) put in some good words. Me? Well I'm one of those fussy-worrying about everything kinda people who suck at interviews. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (who's thinking there are only a few more days of freedom until the 22 November when she starts working at a temp position until 17 December) Queen of Down Under http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos ********************** |

Thanks Linda! One of my favourite questions (not!) is "Tell us about your
strengths" - I know what they are (I'm damned good at my job!) but I hate bragging. DH was coaching me last night while I was quilting, some of what he said made sense. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia Queen of Down Under http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos ********************** "nana2b" wrote in message news:vfgmd.4325$h15.757@trnddc07...

And even worse when you are trying to boost your self confidence is "what
are your weaknesses". I fall all over myself during an interview. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Sharon Harper" wrote in message u... Thanks Linda!

I've always heard it's good to make your "weakness" a positive. Such as
"I'm a perfectionist." or something that fits with your personality. My weakness is that I'm too conscientious & often take on too much, so as to ensure the job gets done properly.

LOL - haven't struck that one yet and hope to heaven's I don't tomorrow. I
now know that Christmas Cake is NOT one of my weaknesses - the one I baked tonight was divine. I did one proper cake and one smaller test cake. Tell me, how long do you marinate your fruit for in alcohol before cooking? -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia Queen of Down Under http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos ********************** "maryd" wrote in message ...
