I am so excited! I have my first job interview tomorrow morning!

I sent them my resume on Saturday and they called me today. Totally wasn't expecting that.

It's for the Hampton inn...which is okay. No complaints...its a job.





I was a hospitality major in college, so this is what I like to do.

Cool! Do you plan or how do you plan to reveal that you're work authorized and not exactly a Perm res yet?

You'll have to let us know. I'm adjusting a cover letter to explain the gap since Nov in my resume to reflect the fact that I moved from Canada, married a USC and am finalizing my permanent residency (not sure how I'll say that). I work in IT and I know they'll have questions about that gap....I hate to reveal too much personal info, but it will just be a small blurb at the bottom of the letter. i also plan to put that after this break, I'm eager to get back etc etc bullsh*t bullsh*t

Congrats, good luck!!

I was honest. I mean the !551 stamp is good for employment and I should get my GC soon right.

I wrote that I am from Canada, was working at hotels up there and now I am here wanting to do the same things, eager to get back into the industry again yadda yadda.

When he called he wanted to know what brought me down here and stuff. I guess tomorrow we'll discuss it further. I'll let you guys know how it went.

Good luck!!!

Good luck!!

Good luck!!!

Good luck. We all will be watching for your interview review

Best of luck to you!! Interviewing experience is always a good thing!

Thank you.

Well I just dropped off a TON of resumes to a bunch of hotels in the area, so even if tomorrow doesn't go well I will hopefully getting calls back from other places. This is the next challenge in all of this...getting a job.

Hmmm. This is the second time in a couple of days that I've posted a reply in a thread and it's disappeared. weird

Anywho..... congratulations and good luck to you, Sprailenes! I can't believe they responded to you so quickly. That's amazing.

its because they need a Canadian working for them. No business is complete without some Canadian flavour.

I got the job!!

The interview was a breeze, it was a lot of fun. At the end of it all he said: "I would like to offer you the job"

Apparently, according to his assistant he never just offers anyone the job on the spot.

I start next tuesday!

Congrats!!!!

Thank you!

I'll just be happy getting out of the house and talking to people other than my husband, son or the dogs.

I mean I love them all, but I need some interaction with others. Its been lonely.

Hey, Good for you!

You know, there is talk of how some employers tend to stick more with U.S. citizens etc etc - but for every employer out there who is like that I think there are people who are interested that you actually come from some place else!

Congratulations

Yea he didn't care. He has some girl who just moved from France as well.

He was really nice and open minded.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic news! Congratulations!!!!! That's so nice to hear that bit of news from his assistant too. I bet that made you feel good.

Hey sister,that's fantastic!!!!

I got another interview today for the Marriott. I would like this job...more.

Excellent! Good luck, Sprailenes! (the good thumbs up)
