Interviewing
I am a good interviewer. I know all the tricks. I have trained people on the ART of Interviewing
Nice Suit "check"
Not too much perfume "check"
Resume "check"
Know what I'm interviewing FOR "check"
Cell phone OFF "check"
NO food in teeth or on shirt "check"
Research the company the night before "check"
Have 3 questions about the company READY "check"
Try not to do "the BIG laugh" YET "check"
Ok so I'm ready and prepared, you would think! NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING could have prepared me for the interview that I was about to have.
This interview was the quietest interview, no questions were asked and no research was needed! It was the first time ever, that I already HAD the job, I already won over the interviewer now all I had to do was figure out what my job was.
Listening-sounds easy enough, huh? Well when you have prepared the way I have for the past 15 years...listening is done AFTER you land the perfect position. As a Christian I have learned that listening happens FIRST. He will tell you exactly what to do and when to do it-IF and when you can master the ART of listening.
My interviewer is God, by the way.
He has stopped me in my tracks and has taken me on an amazing tour of my new office, he has introduced to my new colleagues...he has shown me the break room and where my new desk is. He wrote a training manual JUST FOR ME, I am super excited about that! He even highlighted some special parts in red just FOR ME. He knows I am nervous, so he checks on me often. Some would call Him a micro-manager, but I am kinda gettin' used to it. I have made mistakes and he forgives me, then puts a trainer right in front of me to help me be better at my job. NOW, this job is hard but the benefits are AMAZING. Medical, Dental and Vision were all given to me free and clear, who knew mercy and grace would part of the package? He matches my 401K as long as I respect it and don't expect it.
I can work from home anytime I want-he actually prefers it. He even promotes "bring your kid to work" day! Our Christmas party this year will BE AMAZING I'm sure.
I love my new job.
This job is recession proof. I can't get laid off or fired. I am His worker and as long as I have ears to listen and a mouth to speak my job is 100% secure, Praise God.
