Le Interview

Aug 7, 2007
Post a comment

I don't know why I use the article 'le' instead of 'the'. I just do. What I have to say hasn't anything to do with French, though.

I have the interview for school today, not tomorrow as previously planned. I sat up for hours last night, trying to do something with my hair, and that didn't work; I hope I can give off a professional appearance with a slick ponytail.. I went to bed very frustrated, though - I'm going to have issues with my transition back to my natural hair. I've got some conditioning products on the way that should help, but in the meantime, my hair hates me. T_T

Anyway, I have to meet with these three ladies who run the program I'm applying to, and find out just what I can expect, and what they're expecting from me. I even took the time to write out some questions for them. Well, I typed them. I hope I can deliver them naturally, though. I mean, I will read them off the paper, if I need to, but I'd rather just be able to ask, you know?

Wish me luck? Because I am sooo nervous. D:

References upon request?

Seriously, I have no references. I suppose that's not a good thing, since sometimes you need them, but I really don't know where to get them. I mean, character references, sure! I've got those from people I worked with, and people I know from my neighborhood or who are on my speed dial, but what do you do when those are not acceptable?

The problem is that my last job won't give references. They'll verify employment, and salary, if they have to, but they won't say whether or not someone is a good employee. I've never heard of something liket hat, but apparently it's fairly common now.

That wouldn't be a problem - I mean, normally, I'd try to ask the people at my school, but I haven't been there in over 5 years! I'm fairly certain none of the people there would even remember me. So. With no work references, no school references, and an application that says "references will not be accepted from family, friends, or co-workers," what is a girl to do? And how is she to do it by Friday at 2pm?

Yes. This Friday. August 3rd.

But luckily, I did get a graphic design client to agree to provide one. Now, if only I can get another reference from somewhere...

Re-focused...

As of today, I've decided to rethink what this blog is about. I mean, naturally, it's about the author, as most blogs are, but why? What do I have to say?

I don't think I have a lot to contribute, but I do deal with the same things a lot of people do - family, weight loss/gain, finances, etc...

So where do I start? I think, as of right now, I'm here to chronicle what's going on with me, starting with my resolve to go back to school. I have to deal with the application process in the space of one week.

Can anyone tell me how I'm to do this? Because I'm clueless. I need the recommendations, more than anything else, and I'm hoping the people I worked with would be helpful.

So, off to a new career in Biotechnology; wish me luck! <33
