I did decide to cover my gray and honestly Oil of Olay stock went WAY up due to Regnerist and several articles I read about it. I kept getting asked questions about what was the BEST thing I ever did to assist a customer? I had something rehearsed that was true. I had friends give me practice interviews. What I found easiest was going to a job agency, having them screen things for me and they had given my proficiency tests so I felt by that point I had proved that I could still perform, if a bit long in the tooth!

Sonny had a hard time a year ago and was just grateful to get the job he did - even when it's below what he's made in YEARS.<BR/><BR/>I had an interviewer ask me in the middle of work related questions what was my favorite movie. HUH!?! I froze and I was told they were looking for someone who was quick on their feet. <BR/><BR/>I worried if I said 'Grease' I'd be conceived as immature. As a result I was trying to analize several movies before answering - wrong thing to do. ::sigh::<BR/><BR/>Wishing you the best in finding a good job.<BR/><BR/>MonicaMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840809036588436520noreply@blogger.com
