anything that i tell you would apparently be wrong. i'm on a bit of a losing streak with those things.

yeah, i've had kinda bad luck lately. The last 3 interviews that I've had went great, but each one told me midway that they "didn't have anything available now, but hope to really soon." The first time was a surprise, the 2nd time was an annoyance, the 3rd time made me want to flip the table over and strangle a muthafucka. But I believe that this time there is actually an available spot.

The key is the ability to bullshit. Just tell them what they want to hear. If you sound like you know what you're talking about most people will believe you.

I'm not too worried about the interview per se, I think I interview just fine. It's just this whole streak of going on interviews for spots that don't exist that concerns me. Either way, I'll be more prepared for this one than any other one.

the title is 'research editor' and it's for this publisher of trade magazines downtown. I think another reason why I'm so worked up about this is because this has been the first one where I am actually really interested and excited about getting it.

and I already had an initial interview w/ a recruiter for this that went awesome. But I'm thru being optimistic because that has seriously burned me in the past.

Gosh, I didn't know Chase had prognosticating powers. Hmmm...I should consult him on some of my personal issues.

Ryan, best of luck on your interview, m'dear! Chase's positive vibes have been transmitted to the west coast and I'm feeling good about today as well.

Go get 'em, killer. And remember! You're interviewing them just as much as they're interviewing you. You are now armed for success. Carry your best handbag.

not the red and white polka dot one!

Use the silver sequined one with the purple faux leopard fur trim.
