1. I carry around too much junk in my purse.
(Hello random ATM receipts and bills! Thanks for fluttering out and making me look like a bag lady while I'm trying to hand a potential boss a pen.)
2. I like being early.
("Yes, I know that it's 10 and the interview isn't until 10:30. I'll just sit here and wait, no problem.")
3. I tend to come across as assertive/slightly pushy.
(NO idea where that came from ... and you should probably not wear that colour again. It makes you look a bit pasty.)
4. I get cranky when my feet hurt.
(What? You want me to walk up two flights of stairs carrying my purse, several samples of my work, plus all the paperwork you aasked me to fill out before I got here? NO PROBLEM!)
5. My arms have doubled in size.
(Bye bye favourite shirt ...)
6. My daughter is more important to me than anything.
(Oh, so it's not a child-friendly environment? I see ...)
7. I need new shoes
(Chef: So do you have gray pumps to go with that skirt? Me: Nope. Gonna wear the same black ones I wore yesterday. Chef: -_-.)
8. Pearls make me feel sexy AND work appropriate!
(Nothing says 'HIRE ME!' like pink pearls and lip gloss.)
9. I prefer shirts and blouses to jackets.
(Sweating your makeup off is SO not cool).
10. I should smile more.
(Interviewer: Are you ok? You look sick. Me: Oh no, I'm fine. Just admiring how that sickly grey paint over your head matches your face ...)

ReplyDeleteKnowing onself is always good, there is a fine line to being assertive and aggressive finding a balance may help. its understandable that your child will come first however please balance, its not about first, second, third or fourth. Its about balance as you are just as important as she is. Just balance.
Take care and good luck with the interviews. On being early, well for interviews its better to be early than late as you are judged by that when you go into an interview.
stay blessed.
