My last real world interview!

In 13 hours, I will be introducing myself to my last offline interviewers! I have prepared my last resume & portfolio!

This holds much signification for me, I am choosing a job that will allow me to have the time and head-space for my own projects.

Don't get me wrong, I'll do my job just fine, but no extra effort. No more overtime, no more above and beyond, simply punch in-punch out.

Doesn't sound too exciting, but I will actually be loving what I do! Simply, this time around, I am keeping all my extra energy and creativity for my businesses.

They are offering 4 days a week, I'm already planning a schedule for those 3 day weekends on WA and my websites!

Seems here like I already got the job, but I think I do, hihihi. My friend was employed there last week and she has put in a good word for me. + They are desperate to fill this position and I fit the bill perfectly! It should be a casual meeting, I have already met them briefly, their business is in the same building my last office was in.

Having been immersed in job/interview mode today, I was wondering what are your plans for offline jobs? Are you already working part-time? What are your goals when it comes to your working situation?

Wish me luck guys! :)


UPDATE: Thanks for all your wishes! The interview was great, the job even better and I did get the job! :) BUT my information about the work load/hours was totally off. Turns out they need 5-6 days a week, do it all, know it all, in charge of everything, right arm, etc...basically running the whole place! I can ''do'' the job, but I don't ''want'' to.

The question was simple: Am I going to regret not taking this job or am I going to regret not focusing and trying to create my own business. The latter won and I am very happy!

I am also looking to work part time. I left my job after 23 years last year. Now I need a little income and the ability to allow me to build my online business. I think you can eventually live on your online income but it just takes time. Wish you all the best and good luck.

Wow, awesome bold move after 23 years! Time for you to be your own boss. :) Meanwhile, a little money on the side won't hurt. You can look for something close to your home, you won't need to commute and you'll have more freedom. Thanks for the good words!

I work full time and I spend time with my grandchildren,in the weekends, but I spend at least 3 hours each night to work on my WA Mon - Thurs. My grandchildren are moving to live in another city that takes about 2 hours drive, I will miss them but I will have more time to do my WA.. But all the best for your future and thanks for sharing

That's a great schedule you've got going on! I'm sorry your grandchildren will be further away, but ye! to technology you can skype between visits. Thank you forcyour encouragement!

All the best for the future in your new job!

Thank you! If they like me + I like them, should be a done deal. Plus I get to work with one of my best friend (we met at our last work)!

Wish you the very best of luck with the job and look forward to reading about your success with the WA venture

Thank you Katie! I hope this choice creates what I want, better life - work quality and time for me to build my own online. :)

good commentary- and it is helping to open thoughts up to get down the road in the optimum way. Andy

Thanks! I think it's the right route, hopefully it leads me to a put of gold. ;)

Good Luck!!

Thank you, crossing my fingers!

Wishing you the very best of luck in fulfilling your dreams. :) Beverley

Thank you! I feel I'm getting closer, I'm trying to have the most luck on my side! :)

You kind of hit a sore point... I gotta think about next year, but don't really want to...

It's hard because I'm hoping that by August, I will have an income through my website, but it's kind of hard to rely on that... Ahhh... I'm thinking of looking to get a job a few days a week (kind of like you) and be super flexible otherwise.

I'm kind of a travel junkie and love heading out of town for the weekends and whatnot...

I think you can generate income by August, but to live on is a different story. It would be great for you to have a part time job! If you get a good hourly wage and tighten the budget for a while it's doable. + Worth it so you can squeeze in some online work and travelling! Good luck, keep me posted!

Nice, Very nice. Great attitude!

Thanks! I'll have better balance now between the 2, with obviously the goal to kick the offline one to the curb. ;)

Good Luck, may you get your hearts wish.

Thank you so much! Well my true heart's wish is full time online business, but all in good time. :)
