Job Interview tomorrow

On Tuesday morning I have a job interview in Bordeaux for a web design job in a company called cDiscount. It will mark my first interview all in French and not for an English teaching job. Of course I am ready but I am getting nervous. I find myself doing silly things like reviewing the subjunctive and plus’que parfait tenses and scanning my French English dictionary for gooder words. Of course last minute things like this rarely help. I should focus on being very conversationally fluent and funny and of course competent but I can’t help doing nervous twitch types of things. Do you think I should memorize a little Rimbaud just for fun? Or maybe I should memorize all the irregular past participe backward to dazzle them with my depth of knowledge? I have another 14 hours before my interview, who needs sleep?

  1. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.
    I guess by now your job interview is probably over. How was it? Did Rimbaud help?

  2. I’m guessing you cinched the job! In any event, I have my fingers crossed until I hear!

  3. Hi Owen, I’ve been off line for a bit, cranking up for my departure, but wanted to make sure to wish you well in your interview! knock ‘em dead!

  4. ooh, hope it went well! would you work from home then?

  5. @katya, Rimbaud was of no help but it went well, you can uncross your fingers now.

    @LIF, it went well but I won’t know until next week if I get the job.

    @Kim, I am breathing again, the interview went well

    @Samantha, if I got this job we’d be moving to Bordeaux. I have a few interviews around in Toulouse, but we’ll go where the job is, at least we’ll go somewhere in the Southwest for the weather or I guess further if the job were a great job. We are hoping for anything between Bordeaux and Toulouse.
