Don't be embarassed, V. It's all good advice and will come in handy for someone, some time. Remembering that the interviewer wants you to be the one is key.

Interviewer: What are you passionate about?

Monster: The Cellar and not driving stinky boys to and from hockey practice.

Interviewer: ...

This why I'm not a job coach. Good luck Monster!

I clicked on this email as it came assuming it was the rejection wanting to get it over and done......

Dear Monster,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me last week. Through the interview, it was even more clear you possess the skills and experience we're hoping to have in the person hired for this role. At this point, we'd like to set you up with a bluejeans video conferencing interview with you and the following people (3):
This interview will last about 45 minutes. Immediately following the interview, you will be emailed two performance tasks where we hope to gain additional understanding of your writing skills and ability to work with data. You'll be allotted one hour to submit these performance tasks.

now I'm really really really terrified.

Dude! Don't let success terrify you! This means you did a great job at the thing you were previously terrified of. You will do a great job on this, too.

You have almost 30,000 posts. You can write, and work with data - you're a natural!

We only see people online who are not bad writers... most people can't string a few sentences together. You'll stand out.

My only thought is, it's work with data how? Do they use a lot of Excel? They might want you to sort columns and stuff like that.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-24-2020, 01:13 PM

Terrified? Good, it keeps you sharp, use it. Remember they all ready want you, knock their socks off, you got this.

BigV · 03-24-2020, 01:38 PM

stoked!

fargon · 03-24-2020, 01:49 PM

Good for you.

Go Monster Go!!!

lumberjim · 03-24-2020, 01:53 PM

Do you even have any blue jeans?

I know some excel stuff. It's fun.

Griff · 03-24-2020, 02:32 PM

Nice! You got this!

I do. I have one pair. which I probably don't fit into right now. I had one temp job that mandated Blue Jeans and whenever there's a mandatory team pic for anything, they often stipulate BJs (

), so I hung on to them. The teen Girl magazine i used to get as a pre-teen was called BlueJeans.

Has anyone used this conference tool? Will I need an account? Could I used the free trial to join the call if they don't take care of it in some way?

thanks all

Also I need to figure out where in the house I can be comfortable to do this other than my office or how not to be orange in my office area like I was at Virtual Forks

lumberjim · 03-24-2020, 04:02 PM

Lol. I thought it was just the person saying, 'informal'

Didn't know it referred to an app.

monster · 03-24-2020, 04:10 PM

I took a quick look at BlueJeans, looks like I don't need an account, just a meeting ID

Ha! Me neither. I totally would have responded with, "Cool, okay, I'll wear jeans. But what app do you want me to use?"

I didn't get the job
