This is a really wonderful site full of warmth, and thanks for creating it, folks. It really improves my experience of MeFi, as well. Blessings to all of you. How do I get involved in this gift exchange? I've got a few neat pieces of handmade jewelry that I'd like to pass on, and other stuff too.. I had a really good interview yesterday in which I made the interviewers laugh - more about that inside.[More:]

The interviewers were at a nonprofit agency, which - BINGO! Indeed the culture is different there, and more familiar to this American trying to get a British job. Two of them were wearing jumpers exactly the same shade of maroon, which makes me wonder if there is a CULT OF MAROONOSITY, but fortunately I have a jumper in the same colour! woo yippee.

The interview was good because I was able to communicate to them exactly what it is that I can do for them, and we actually connected - I understood their needs and they understood what I can offer. I'm much more optimistic about my chances of getting work, now. It doesn't hurt that the candidate following me was wearing jeans and a casual top, looking like a student!

Putting the final touches on The Speech, now... Edinburgh here I come!
HOLY SHIT, they want an entirely DIFFERENT speech than the one I wrote.

Fortunately I can adapt the speech I already have.

Sounds like the interview went very well! It's got to be nice to have the connection be the primary goal as opposed to the ACK I NEED THIS JOB! angle. Let us know how the speech goes!

I read that as "Two of them were wearing jumpers exactly the same shade of moron", which struck me as hilarious.

If I don't get the job, I will most certainly amend that to moron. (or, MORAN, even.)
