trying to not freak out since i can't get any news about my potential dream job till the weekend is over. also, cute fella i have crush on phoned me (squee!) but i did not go to the event with him since i am pajamas in bed girl after working 30 hours in 3 days. cooked for the first time in 2 months, and the radiators just turned back on. life may ( Read more... )

so, um, what does one wear for an interview with an ad agency? my thought is that a full on suit would be considered too stuffy (and it's not strictly an interview, more a session to sit down and talk about the company and what they do) and that these types of jobs expect people to dress a little more, well, creatively, but i also want to look put ( Read more... )

interview at the modern is wednesday afternoon. i told todd he's not allowed to come till after, and he's not allowed to talk to me that day beforehand, just minimizing potential rage that might ruin my chances at the job. i really hope this goes well, i want out of my place bad, and i would like to be able to keep the benefits i qualify for as of ( Read more... )

so i got the call today from the restaurant where i interviewed on friday, that they want me to work there and can i come in to start training as soon as tomorrow? of course i told them yes, and i'm thrilled. it's with a larger company that has several restaurants around the midtown and flatiron areas, including the Modern, the Gramercy Tavern, and ( Read more... )

feeling better today. i had what felt like a really good interview at a really good restaurant, which i just happened to see because i was looking on craigslist at exactly the time that gave me just barely enough time to get ready and be there when i was supposed to. the restaurant is Tabla, which has great ratings and is within the union square ( Read more... )

interesting meeting at the temp agency today. apparently they are looking for someone to fill an internship position with a best-selling author who is willing to train someone to be her research assistant and do some PR stuff as well. this would be "in your spare time" in addition to a regular job to pay the bills, and apparently the author does ( Read more... )
