OH YAY!!! I will even keep my eyes crossed for you!!!

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

The interview was actually with a staffing agency, and if all goes well I should get an interview with the actual company this week... Oups! And here I was yesterday rehearsing interview questions and what not! Hahaha!

I guess I'll keep on knocking and crossing!

practice makes perfect!! 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 -it's nice when you find a job that seems written just for your qualifications :) . I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you too.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

A little nervous you can say... :wacko:

a friend(yep the famous "I have a friend" lol)had a phone interview for a job in his company. Of course the upper echelon had their favorites---so each emailed the question to their favorite!! My friend who is 1 smart guy, got the job!! 1 reason why is that he sounded confident, had well thought out replies-----while the others sounded like they were reading from a script------which they pretty much were!! You don't need good luck from us----you can do it, its a marathon, not a sprint, so think it out!!
