I'm a day late ! But I got a phone call Friday afternoon for a different job! They want me to come in on Tuesday for an interview! :dance: I think I might enjoy this position more if I am offered...less commuting...but less pay...nontraditional work hours but at least I'd work similar hours to the hubby...good chance that the other position I first interviewed for would put me in therapy...

Different from your situation, but some hospitals now do peer interviews!! They give staff a chance to interview possible new employees as they want to hire a person that is a good fit for the unit! Good luck

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

Good luck on the interview, Minnew!!

I just spent 3 hours at a hair salon.

Gained highlights, lost half my hair.

It's weird having shorter hair again... feels kinda nice though.

Nice! We want to see it!!!

Well, good morning everyone. I have a lot to do today. Oh joy.

Wow...if I get a March interview date, then I'll be moving down there at the same time as you're moving UP. I think Lgg is planning an early March arrival too!

Very cool.

I only just noticed that the intro to Super Freak and MC Hammer's - Can't Touch This - are identical.

And yeah, it's a good song lol
