I am going to like where I land...

Doing my research now!  I have a lot to learn... luckily, they are doing some training.  I received a call today about the job interview, and if I were to be offered the job... I'd get to travel for training!  I'm so excited!  It seems like it just keeps getting better!  I know I'd be traveling for work, so it wouldn't be a fun vacation or anything like that... all business, but its just so exciting!  I love traveling, even if its only for 2 days for work purposes... its just getting out and seeing something new.

So excited about the whole opportunity.  I hope they hire me, I know I'd do an amazing job for them.  I'm very confident in my abilities.

I'm finding some great articles... and some not so great?  Tell me Marie Claire is kidding, please.  Shameless is an understatement if you ask me.  Wow.

7 Shameless (but Effective) Ways to Make Contacts
1. Sync your company-gym workouts with those of the execs. Spot them during chest presses. (They'll owe you if you save their life.) 

2. Identify the children of your industry's power players. Encourage your niece and nephew to befriend them on the playground.. 

3. Steal all the toilet paper and tampons from the office restroom. "Rescue" the VP in the next stall. 

4. Frequent happy-hour bars in the business district. Buy a drink for the person everyone's sucking up to. 

5. Host a "cocktail party" (read: job fair) and invite only your management-level friends. Stash copies of your résumé in the goody bags. 

6. Bring your business cards to funerals. Distribute with a solemn, "I'm here for you." 

7. Raid the business-card bowl at restaurants known for their power-lunching patrons.

Also, something I noticed... hyperbolic/hyperbolized must have been word of the day somewhere... I was told not to be so by someone last night & I just read it on a blog.  Oh you guys and your fancy words...

Well, enough about that kinda stuff, I have stuff I need to get done before I leave tomorrow morning for my interview!  eeee!!  So excited, wish me luck, bloggie. <3
