Job Interview on Thursday...

[Marco]

I DO feel for some of y'all whose employment depends on the "whim" of your employer/interviewer. I too , once , as a real estate broker, and in the employ of a major residential firm and during the "Carter" years where home mortgages were in the high 15's, decided to go it on my own. There is NO GREATER satisfaction than having to answer to no one except your client. It's sink or swim and ONE HELL OF a dose of reality. Iv'e fixed toilets and built mansions, and still do ( mostly the toilets scenario lately ), and, this close to "the end" I take what comes along.
AND, having said ALL that, GOOD LUCK on your interview Dave.

Well, I survived the interview and didn't come away kicking myself for anything stupid. It really went pretty well, I think. We'll see if it leads to a second interview. I didn't encounter red flags about the company at all. Thanks to all for the kind words and the advice.

Sounds like a good start. Congratulations and good luck!

I too went through the same situation. I worked for a company for 26 years and the owner retired and sold the company. The new owner started taking away stuff we had had for years like 100% Blue Cross Blue Shield, some holidays ect. I eventually left even before I had found a replacement job.
