I was able to make a lateral move in my company. So for now my job is secure. HaHa. When I went to interview for this position last week. I asked the new boss. So, really am I still going to have a job in six months? (Figure what have I got to lose they just keep moving many of us from different departments) He was able to assure me that yes it was in the budget to keep this position. But I remain cautious.
I did go out on an interview though, and although I was nervous about it, and the company has not called me back yet. It did make me take stock of the work place, and my career. They asked a lot of good questions. I like the standard, “So tell me about yourself”.
So I run down the list of my professional stuff.
But I like the question, because it made me think on a bigger stage. What part do you really want to know about? my spiritual side, my weirdo side, my sports interest, my physical fitness philosophy. What a loaded question. But one to be contemplated.

Ahh the infamous, “So tell me about yourself” Question.
It does leave the door wide open for a lot of things to be discussed. I’m always worried about revealing to much or to little. I normally mention odd things like being an only child, loving Harry Potter, things like and dislike. After a while I worried that i’ve said much. It’s a hard balance to find. It helps if the other person, well atleast commetn on this as I list them.
