I have an interview tomorrow (Fri.) for a finance directors job. It's only with the recruiter, but i still have to get through it to be passed onto the comapny.

I have a bigger interview on Mon. for a product manager's job with a publishing company. It would be somewhat of a step back careerwise, and wouldn't pay as much, but would let me stay in publishing and could lead to all sorts of interesting things down the road. The only thing is it's to manage their tax product line and I have no tax knowledge. But they could see that from my resume and they still want to interview me.

The good news is I've just finshed 4 hours of coaching with a communications consultant on interviewing techniques, and she gave me tons of good tips on how to appear less wooden in the interview and how to shape my answers better. And a new networking group that I've joined has already let me make contact with someone who used to work for the company who's wiling to talk to me about corporate culture, before I go into the interview.

Wishes of luck for both interviews would be appreciated.

I wish you wonderful success with your interviews. I am impressed at how much positive action you are putting into doing well on the interviews....not just leaving it all to luck.

Going to a communications coach to strengthen your skills & getting involved with a networking group so you can get necessary contacts & personal information so you will have added insight into the companies way of doing business.

Professional maturity & taking your situation seriously....what a wonderful model you are for taking positive action & not just allowing luck to be the driving force in your future.

Thank you for sharing & I wish you the best on your interviews....I am sure you will do wonderfully. When we go into an interview with self-confidence & knowledge, feeling that we have some sense of control, it always goes much better.

Best wishes,
Debbie
