That was stressful
So I've been keeping my eyes and ears open to new opportunities....ie new job. I put in an application as a Clinical Office Assistant at the same hospital where I work. I have a lot of quality's they are looking for, it would be a lateral move, no weekends and no holidays. First step, phone interview. I just did that. I tried to think of all the questions they would ask and I was wayyyyyyyyyy off. I had to think fast on my feet, give examples of my best...and my worst. They wanted to know if I had a chance of a do-over what would it be. My mind went blank at that question. I couldn't think of one. Is that good or bad? I really had no clue they would ask those kind of questions. I "think" I did ok. Time will tell. In the meantime my eyes and ears are still open. |

I always use this line when they ask me what my worst personality trait is...or something to that effect. I tell them I'm a workaholic...  Seems to satify employers.Good luck with the job hunt! |
| I learned a lot about interview techniques when I worked at a staffing company. One good technique is to take anything potentially negative, and put a positive spin on it. "I don't think I would want to do anything over. Everything we do presents a learning opportunity, and if I went back to do something differently, I wouldn't be the same person you are talking to right now." The "workaholic" can be a good answer, but you might want to temper it with "I've learned over the years to pace myself, and keep the communication lines open to address potential issues before they become problems." Whatever you claim as your "worst" trait, immediately tell them what you have done to address it. Good luck on your job search!  |
| Good luck Pam!!! |

| Good luck, Pam. Sending positive thoughts your way. Jonsey, I loved your do-over reply. I will write it down for future reference. |

I won't count on it but I can hope. |
