oh my word

[gfrancie]

So....I returned the phone call of that one law firm. Scary.
It sort of turned into a phone interview. The lady told me "we have a ton of applicants but I thought we should talk." She had a couple of questions for me, I had a few questions for her and she wants to meet for an interview on Tuesday. She seemed impressed with my answers. She said, "Wow we talked a lot more than I had anticipated. This was great and I definitely think we should meet."
I found out more about this firm. They handle a very specific niche of family law. They handle the high-end, large asset dissolution cases. Pretty much they handle all the divorces of rich people and rock stars for Seattle. I must admit it scared the life out of me when she told me that. I thought to myself, "Oh my freaking God I can't work there." Yeah. So anyways I kept chatting with her and told her about this and that and how bad-ass I am at organizing things and I enjoy the chaos and I am good with the masses.
I feel so under-qualified. I need to go and figure out what the hell to wear to this damn interview.
I am askeered.
Can I go and throw up now?

I totally understand the nerves. However. You are a grownup, you are smart, you look nice, and you can carry on an intelligent conversation. No need to throw up, you are Miss Gennie and I believe you can do anything you set your mind to. So there.

Hopefully....Now to think about how I can stand out. I can't use sex to get ahead so it is all pluck I suppose.

I'm in the process of starting a new job this week, and I feel really overwhelmed, too. So far I think I'm faking it pretty well, but I have this ingrained fear of being exposed as a fraud or an incompetent fool, even though I know I'm not and I know that after I've had a little time to get acclimated to the new situation I'll be kicking ass all over the place.

Change scares me, but we all gotta take our shots at greatness when the opportunites present themselves :)

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Oh I am the biggest fraud. *laughs*

[robiewankenobie.livejournal.com]

oh mah goodness! just THINK of the gossip!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Yes and the money. But it would probably be boring rich people trying to decide who gets what house.

[robiewankenobie.livejournal.com]

you'll be so efficient, though, that you'll have time to read all those books you've been busy selling. or you'll take up orgami. just remember, you don't have to TAKE the job...

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

well let's just see how the interview goes.

[robiewankenobie.livejournal.com]

My bunnies sex it up daily with their cuteness.

[kristenlou.livejournal.com]

Go Gennie!
What Sarah said.
You are bright and genuine and have a wide range of experiences and skills.
In other words, you rock.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Yeah now to convince them that I rock.

[thiscantbesoy.livejournal.com]

What would your job there be?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

sexy bitch.

[thiscantbesoy.livejournal.com]

Naturally.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

legal assistant/file clerk.

[bliss-street.livejournal.com]

You got moxie, kid! Employers love moxie!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

[ekdogg.livejournal.com]

sounds like the prelude to "The Firm"

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If I have to run and hide I will let you know.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I hope. Just nerveracking. I didn't think they would even respond to me.

[mickasso.livejournal.com]

Rockstars get married?!?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

They have to. It gives them song-writing material. Then when they break up that is another album right there.

[cogshiftingman.livejournal.com]

This sounds very exciting. I can hardly wait for the stories. Also I bet it pays nicely :-)

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It should give me something to keep me in books and shoes.
I would probably have to put it all under a filter but I would share anything good.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Nothing like dressing for the funeral. hee.

[jess-faraday.livejournal.com]

Right on! Just think of all the writing fodder!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It is all about advancing my non-existant career.

[lindaslaments.livejournal.com]

dude, celebrity gossip! you getting this job would quadruple the shit that we talk at parties!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I know. It wouldn't just be things that suck at work, who is hot, who is ugly.

[lindaslaments.livejournal.com]

speaking of which, are you still having people over tonight?

call me and lemme know. 854-7821.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

probably not. I have eight million things I HAVE to do. Which is lame.
But who knows. Maybe socializing might good.

[bbcaddict.livejournal.com]

YES YOU CAN WORK THERE!!!!!!!
Go G!!!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I hope.
Now to put on some damn stockings.

[closh2.livejournal.com]

You go get em girl! I'm so proud! You'll be great, I just know it!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

[closh2.livejournal.com]

[jillithian.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! And Good luck!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I need it.

[tu-tartaruga.livejournal.com]

Wear a very smart suit. This calls for Chanel.

AND... you need to keep it real... thigh high stockings underneath.

Keep us posted. You will rock the legal briefs off of them.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Do I look like I can afford Chanel? *snorts*
Basic little black dress and a cardigan.

[homc.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I need it.
