: Preparing for job interviews :
I scheduled an interview with a second New York PR agency for next week, and another interview with a PR headhunting firm, so I'm just about all booked up now. I could squeeze in maybe one more if someone called me back this week. All in all though, I'm pretty pleased with the response I've gotten to my initial job inquiries.
Now I have a few things to tend to in preparation for my trip. Most importantly is putting together my portfolio of work, which was hastily assembled in the last days before leaving my former job. I had lunch last week with a former co-worker who was very helpful in giving me some ideas on how to organize it all.
I also need to have my hair trimmed, since no one has touched it since early October. I also thought I might go in for one more laser treatment on my face, since there are a few stray hairs popping up. They are so soft and fine that I could actually pluck them without too much difficulty, but if I did that, then the laser would not be able to reach the hair follicle. So I've been shaving them off as they appear, in anticipation of getting one more laser treatment.
I was up late last night trying on things to wear for the interviews. I have a black jacket and pants that are very slimming on me, and I just need to decide on what top to wear with them. I found a very nice one at Nordstroms, but as I looked at it last night, it's actually kind of brown instead of black, so it doesn't quite go together. I also debated wearing a skirt, but as I don't think my legs are my best feature, I think I'll stick with pants for now. Besides, I expect it will be a bit cold for a southern gal such as myself to be wearing a short skirt in New York.
Still no progress to report on the name/gender change petition. My attorney says it might be this week. If we can get the court order before I leave, that would be the best case scenario - then I might be able to complete the process before actually accepting a job offer. Here's to hoping, at least....
