So, I spent day 2 of Ingrid’s Transition by dropping off the rest of the paperwork to the school department, coming home and ahem, having a nice lunch hour with Dave, wink wink ("Daycare is AWESOME!"), then actually eating lunch at the radiator cafe, before getting groceries and going to pick up Ingrid. When I got there, Ingrid had JUST fallen asleep, so I decided to let sleeping babies lie, and go home to put away the groceries. (Again, how awesome that this daycare is THAT close?!) When I got home, I thought, "oh, I should just CHECK the caller ID" and there was a weird number, so I checked the messages and heard:
"Hi, this message is for gretchen, this is NAME at Private College, and we received your resume and would like to schedule an interview as soon as possible, and we’re hoping Thursday at 8 am. Please call blah blah blah."
!!!!!!!
I called Dave first, to make sure he could do a daycare dropoff (yes) and then called back with my best "I’m totally professional and capable and didn’t forget to re-hook a bra flap after pumping earlier" voice, where I got directions, and was told that I will meet first with the registrar, then the chief academic officer, and then the head of IT. Whoa. That’s a lot of people! Especially considering that they are taking resumes until Friday….
Now I’m freaking out about clothes, and wish so much that I had someone like Amy or Kate here to go shopping with me, or to just help me put together an outfit, because I am SO not that person when it comes to fashion. Ugh.
Interview!!!!
fan-f*cking-tastic! congrats!
Yay! Why are you not on AIM so we can figure out your wardrobe?
Hooray! Post some wardrobe possibilities so we can advise.
Good luck. I vote for a black pant suit and interesting top. It has served me well as my standard interview outfit.
YAY!!!
