How disappointing, Nicole. I’m sorry to hear that. But trust your gut instincts and run with it. Something better awaits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22122 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:45:04 +0000 Nicole 22122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'll keep looking.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22118 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:04:13 +0000 Inge 22118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear it didn't work out Nicole. And I hate it when they mislead you during your interview and it turns out you have to do totally different things than agreed upon.</p> <p>Good to hear you still have those hours at your old job. Are you going to look for something new immediately? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22109 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:27:59 +0000 Nicole 22109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH, well I never actually gave my notice at the law firm. I'm just down to 2 days a week (10 hours total)....so I had not had the opportunity to give notice. So, nothing lost there.</p> <p>I've already called the owner of the real estate office and told her it wasn't what I had in mind. I didn't want to go into any detail with her because I didn't want her to try to talk me out of it. I didn't give her a chance to object or question me. I was very matter of fact. My daughter was in the room when I made the call and she said "boy mom that was easier than I thought it would be!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22107 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:16:14 +0000 Dani 22107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Nicole...how terrible. I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopefully, you'll be able to make a graceful exit and return to your previous job. Do keep us updated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22106 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:05:12 +0000 Tanya 22106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry to hear this Nicole. Based on what you describe it is probably a very wise decision not to take that job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22103 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:01:00 +0000 Ana 22103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Nicole--I worked at a place exactly like that when I was 18 (one of those weird places I mentioned above). I ended up working there for a year though, because I didn't know any better. My immediate coworkers (it was a software firm but I worked in admin) were not very friendly, and certainly not professional (that's putting things nicely). Anyway, I won't go on about it, but I definitely think you're making the right choice. Run away quick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22100 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:54:24 +0000 Nicole 22100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no doubt in my mind that this job is not right for me. The people who work there are very fake and there was some tenstion among them. The job duties were not what I was told (I found out today I am expected to wash everyone's coffee cups, lunch dishes, silverware etc...) I have nothing against washing dishes, but I'm a paralegal, not a dishwasher and that was never discussed during the interview. The lady who has the position now has a very complicated system (she does not use her computer desk top, so every file I would need to access is burried in sub files that even she does not know how to get to easily. They even file things in a way that makes no sense. The file everything BEHIND the tab instead of in front of it. I know that's a minor thing, but it's just an example of how this place does things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22093 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:35:00 +0000 Julia 22093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I trust my gut feelings. If something doesn't feel right from the beginning, there is a reason behind it and it usually turns out to be true. I totally understand your decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22092 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:28:27 +0000 Ana 22092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, that's terrible. </p> <p>How is it strange? This has happened to me before (where the work environment feels kind of "off"), and I've stayed around to see if maybe it's just me (first day jitters, that kind of thing). I think only one time it was just that I was new and not used to things yet, the rest of the time it really was a weird place, and I ended up quitting. If you think this is the case, you're probably making the right decision getting out early while you can still possibly go back to your old job if you wanted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22091 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:23:02 +0000 Becky 22091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Interesting impression! Will you be able to stay on at your old job? Keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-22090 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:21:37 +0000 Nicole 22090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I just returned from my first day of training at my new job and I think I've made a mistake. It was a very strange work enviornment and I don't think I'm going to keep the job. I'm trying to work out in my head to say to the owner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-21921 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:15:09 +0000 anne 21921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Nicole.

Congratulations, Nicole! That’s fab news. Good luck and take care. We’ll understand your semi-forum absence while you get your gears rocking and rolling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-21807 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 02:27:39 +0000 Lena 21807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview/page/2#post-21800 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 02:19:00 +0000 Dani 21800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Great news Nicole. Good luck this week. It will fly by since you will be so busy! Hope your talk with your current boss goes well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21782 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:30:30 +0000 shiny 21782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah Nicole! Congrats -and hang in there... it's just one hectic week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21780 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:26:52 +0000 Tanya 21780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Nicole! Good luck with your new job and I hope you get through the hectic week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21777 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:23:40 +0000 Nicole 21777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been offered the job. I have decided to accept it. I'm going in to my old job tomorrow to talk to my boss. One of the duties I perform is reconciling Conveyancing Accounts (which are checking accounts used in escrow situations). It's a little more detailed than just balancing a regular checking account, and I'm the only person at the law firm who knows how to do it. I am going to offer to continue to do this function, for as long as they would like. I've tried training other people in the office how to do it, but no one really followed thru with it. I will be working four 5 hour days a week at my new job. It would probably take me 5 hours a month to balance the 3 conveyancing accounts, so I could definitely handle both jobs.</p> <p>I will actually be going into the new job for a few hours this week to train with the woman who is leaving. She will only be at this office for 1 more week. And this is the last week of summer vacation for the kids--so needless to say--it's going to be a hectic week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21770 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:59:24 +0000 Sihaya 21770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Nicole - what you say about pants/skirts makes sense and your final choice was great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21705 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:46:18 +0000 Becky 21705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I'm glad all went well. Your interview outfit was perfect for a less formal interview such as this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21704 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:30:39 +0000 Lena 21704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Nicole,</p> <p>I'm glad to hear your interview went well. I wish you luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21625 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 17:23:19 +0000 Angie 21625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful! I'm happy you felt you aced the interview. That’s always a good feeling. Keep us posted on its outcome. </p> <p>Your outfit was perfectly polished. You look fab! Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21606 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:49:07 +0000 shiny 21606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely missed this thread - Glad to hear the interview went well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21604 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:42:31 +0000 Maya 21604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Nicole. I'm glad it went well and that I could help despite my pitiful lack of experience. I am also wondering if I should accept the job I interviewed for, without even being offered it yet, but like you said, no point worrying about it until then.</p> <p>And of course you looked fab! I'd hire you (yeah I'm sure THAT means a lot!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21597 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:30:30 +0000 Tanya 21597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear it went well Nicole. The outfit was great, you looked very polished. Good luck with hearing back from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21575 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:38:45 +0000 Dani 21575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, you looked super! I really like the outfit you chose to wear. Glad the interview went well. It's always great getting that first one behind you and gaining confidence. I always have to remind myself that I'm checking out the company and prospective employers as much as they are checking me out Definitely no need to worry until you hear something (but that's always easier said than done for me personally)! Keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/job-interview#post-21566 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:24:59 +0000 anne 21566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole,<br /> So glad it went well!
