The job interview is later today. It will be a phone interview since the person hiring is in Charlotte NC.

I'm doing ok. Just wondering if there is a way to get my W to go to Retrouvaille. We have a session coming up in Forth Worth in October and January.


Lets break this down... you have a job interview later on this afternoon, a phone interview no less, and right now your thoughts are focused and you are wondering if you can figure out a way to get your W to go to Retrouvaille with you? Does that make any sense at all?

Phone interviews are often more difficult than face to face interviews. Instead of allowing your W to fill your headspace AGAIN when you should be focusing on YOU and YOUR future and getting a better job, it seems we are back to square 1.

What sort of research have you done on how to kick butt on a phone interview? Do you have all your materials ready for the phone interview? Have you created an outline of questions to ask, what you can bring to the company in terms of achievements and not just your stock/canned answers? Do you know the ins and outs of the company you are being interviewed by?

There are thousands of sites and articles on the Internet about the "new" way to interview via the phone or online. Its a whole different animal. Instead of looking up dates for Retrouvaille and wondering how you can rope your very staunch WAS to go, why not use the next few hours for preparation so you can ace this interview for YOU and YOUR FUTURE.

Like I said before - you are scared of any progress you make. You project a bit of detachement and it seems like you start to "get it" then you back away and return to your old habbits. You are afraid to detach. You know how, you know what to do but you just are too fearful and that will get you nowhere.

Use the next few hours in a wise fashion for YOU. Good luck w/the interview.
