Job interview and no clothes!

I found out 2 weeks ago that I got a job interview on the 2nd. I knew I would need a new outfit because of the weight loss and my mom suggested I wait until today in case I lost more weight. Good idea! I went to the mall today and found nothing. I'm down to a size 20 from 24 and thought I would have an easier search. I found more in my old size than my new size! I figure I will wear the nicest outfit I have and just explain that I lost weight and I'm really not a hobo! On top of that, I have a flipping cold. The first thing you do in an interview is shake hands. I am proud of my not girly hand shake as that is one of my peeves. Now I have to politely decline the hand shake and explain that I am sick. I may be their first interview with a line of excuses.

Well, sorry for the drawn out post. Hopefully it isn't hard to follow and makes some sense. I'm a little swooshy headed!!!

Happy New Year, Sleevers and pre-Sleevers!!!

    Please take all of the advice offered here. Do NOT say that you are sick, and most definitely shake everyone's hand. So what if you are sick, they might be too but you should never state the obvious.

Woo hoo!! You go girl. Keep us posted. And I just love the shoe bootie, and even better that they were on SALE!!

Well' date=' I ROCKED that interview! After all the clothes/cold drama, it turned out what I should have been worried about was shoe drama!!!! My feet lost weight too! My heels didn't fit anymore so I grabbed the flip flops and headed out the door. I knew there was an outlet mall about 30 miles from my interview and found an amazing pair of shoe boots!!!! Originally 175, on sale for 100 plus an additional 25% off!!!! I strutted my stuff in that office like I knew what I was doing!!! Bad part...they were dead fish hand shakers!!!! Oh well. It's over, I'm home after a 3 hour drive and ready for some me time!!![/quote']

Nice work!!!!! Fingers crossed and good vibes coming to you!
