You and ButterflyEffect, just remember that people hire people based on many factors, but I've found two to be the most paramount: 1. They hire "easy." -Meaning that they hire the person that they have to manage the least. Self sufficient, team players. That's what they're looking for. 2. They hire "passion." -Meaning that they want someone that will be positive, enthusiastic and well... passionate about the job. Nobody has ever left an interview saying to a colleague, "well, he/she was great, but they were just a bit too passionate." Good luck to you both!
Thanks! I'm excited for the interview. Not for the flying. Which is happening soon.
Thanks! I think it went well, it was all behavior and personality based questions and a plant tour, and I connected with all three people I interviewed with. But the other three people who were interviewing did a great job too, I'd imagine, based on talking to them throughout the day. Return flight time. Still don't like flying.
What is it about flying that you don't like? Also, I'm glad to hear that it went well.
Yep, _refugee_ is once again spot-on with how I feel about something thenewgreen. Things I dislike about flying: The pomp and circumstance of being able to actually board a plane. The fact that I know if something does go wrong, I'm probably going to die from it, and the biggest reason why I dislike flying is that I have absolutely no control or even illusion of control for the entirety of the flight. That is the worst part about it and it brings out the most anxious parts of me.
How about the stress of going through airport security? Even if I know I am clean, I worry. Of course, if they find anything, no big deal - just throw it out and proceed, for the most part - but still, that's a definite stressor. I imagine if you have something truly bad or illegal they would stop you, but I've only been found in possession of lighters and bottle openers in my time, neither of which merits more than a "toss it, then re-try" sort of approach. Control freaks unite.
Exactly, your dad is spot on. The old phrase is, hire hard and manage easy. Meaning, take the hiring process very seriously, do your due diligence and then your job as a manager is much easier.
