I have conducted many hiring interviews in my previous career and can say this bit of advice is very important. If your responses seem rehearsed or just reiterations of standard interview question res

It feels good to help the widdle people,lol!!! I know you will kick butt!! I offer 1 other bit of advice---it is something I never do-----THINK--before you engage the mouth,lol!! But seriously, many think one has to answer the questing in like 0.5 seconds, I do not think that's true!! Engage brain(oh I wish I had 1) take a breath and sound confident!! You can do it!!! The recruiting company would not let you go forward and embarrass them if you were a rambling idiot like me!! You Can do it!!!!

You should be a life coach! Great advice, thanks again! Thanks everyone, I will let you all know how it turned out!

Well, step one completed! It was really short! I was expecting to be on the phone for at least 20 minutes, but it was done in less than 15. She was asian and I had a hard time understanding her. But I think it went well, she asked me if I had any questions for her and I asked "what are your 3 favorite things about working for the company', and she said wow, good question to ask, and I was thinking Score! I also spoke to someone French, to make sure I did speak French! Oh, and she asked me when I could start and what not.

I then called the staffing agency, and they were about to follow up with them. She told me she'd let me know if they wanted to meet with me or what not... Gosh, hopefully they liked me and I get a call back! :clock:

The staffing agency is called Ajilon, I had never heard of it before...

Your on the right track!!! 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

Well well... I was actually on here at around 11:00 when the phone rang, and it was them and they wanted to see me at noon! :dance: Just got back from what I think was a successful interview! Same kind of questions, but there were two people at one point and then they asked for a man (that would be my supervisor) to come and join us. They were pretty laid back as well, and I used my magical "3 reasons to work there" question again, scored some more points, that's right that's right!

And now, back to waiting... It would be horrible if I didn't get the job after making such a big deal about it on here! :lol: Oh well, too bad, you guys have the wonderful job of being my U.S. morale support!

I'll keep ya'll posted!

You go girl! Tell us when you get the big news!

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

The staffing agency is called Ajilon, I had never heard of it before...

Be careful with Ajilon. I have personally had a horrible time with them over their placement fees. I had applied for a job, then was contacted by Ajilon a few weeks later. They sent me on a couple of interviews, but I noticed that one was for a company I had already interviewed for. I notified them and thought nothing more of it. I ended up getting the job that I had applied to before, and Ajilon threatened to sue the company for circumventing them and hiring me out. My boss had shown them the timestamps on all our correspondances, that predated any contact with Ajilon by nearly 4 weeks, but they pursued the lawsuit anyways.

Hahaha, nice, just my luck.... What kind of placement fees are we talking about here? Do you remember?
