Always clear things with 3 - 5 personal and professional references, as soon as applying. Even though they aren't required at the beginning. The employer is always going to ask for references. The number and the type may vary but they will always be there. Just accept it.
Send thank you notes/presents to references. After all they are being awesome.
Write down the questions about the job on a piece of paper and take that with me. I will be nervous and I will forget. . . If I don't have questions, make some up. Let them be able to answer some questions.
Look up the employer's website and check it's affiliate sites. Have a question relating to site content so they know that I looked at it thoroughly.
When I mess up, it's okay. Really.
Gratitudes:
- I am grateful tomorrow is Sunday. The day of rest and spiritual rejuvenation.
- I am grateful the ayurveda and meditation is working so well.
- I am grateful all my friends think that the setbacks I find so frustrating are no big deal. Helps me realize that I'm taking myself too seriously.
- I am grateful for car chitchat, so much better than just sitting there being taxied.
- I am grateful my Mother taught me how to sew. I know, Mother, I didn't want to; I still don't enjoy the process. Still, it is an eminently useful skill.
