Morning folks,

Just wanted to share some good news that last week, while back in Canada, the company I had interviewed with the previous week offered me a full time job doing Software QA testing!!! Yee haw, Yahoo! Wewt!

The immediate result of this was me heading to the mall for a random shopping spree....ok, so I spent most of my money at Reitman's, Gap and Payless on work clothes, but whatever! I (L) Shopping :) ......on that note, i have to say that I can't find anywhere like Reitman's down here where you can get decent fitting clothes for an adult that don't look like they were made for my mother or my daughter.

A friend gave me this list of popular interview questions and sample answers which really helped me prepare. It had been a long time since I'd been on an external interview.

There is no greater feeling than nailing and interview and accepting a new job. Actually maybe shopping for a new wardrobe. Congrats, good to hear one of us doing well! :thumbs:

Actually - I recently went to Dress Barn and liked it.....kind of like a Winner's so a little hit or miss (or maybe that was Marshall's ? ), at the time I was looking for decent 'non-mommy' jeans, but you're right, they had a great looking selection of work/office clothes!

Thanks everyone

That was Marshall's. Or Ross Dress for Less. They're both like Winners. Dress Barn is very much like Reitman's. Ross's is awesome. But I have to be in the mood to peruse. And if there are screaming kids running around, I'm outta there. :angry:

congrats!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Actually - I could be lucky, dunno - no slavery yet for me....the salary they offered was SIGNIFICANTLY higher then what I used to make - 40% or so. Due to demand for certain roles I suppose and slightly more expensive standard of living in this area. I do know that I would nvr have made this amount at my old job, no matter how experienced I was and how many raises I got...they had a sucky payscale

Hey congrats!!! Welcome to the US slave labor market ;)

Shopping for new wardrobe is always food for the soul!!!
