Thanks Roadie & Notz,

Well I'm pretty happy with how the interview went. I went in with zero expectations since my previoius experience with recruiters has been pretty awful. Plus I'm having very mixed feelings about returning to work full time right now vs pursuing more treatment. As a result I was totally relaxed, which meant I was able to smile, be friendly and animated, and I had great answers to all the questions she asked me.

She's putting me forward to the company for an interview, so now it's wait and see if they want to interview me. She also said that she had 2 other jobs that she thought I'd be good for, and she'd send me the info on them on Mon. to see if I'm interested.

Best part was she wasn't phased by the gaps on my resume - she totally bought the eldercare response for the 07 gap, and about my recent 18 month gap, I was semi honest with her and said that I'd been looking but had really been struggling because it was a tough market. She agreed.

I think it really helps that it shows on my current resume that I'm now employed - that old "it's easier to get a job when you have one thing".

Now I just have to wait and hope that the company wants to interview me.
