Hello,
How are you guys doing?
I guess I am ok, but I have moved to Moscow, and naturally quit my prvious job. Now I am searching for a new job. Tomorrow there going to be the first interview. I am rather calm, but still I need your support.
I hope that you are ok.
Alexey

Alexey,
Good luck with the interview tomorrow. I think it's natural to be nervous ahead of time, but just try to think strategically and ask yourself why they should take YOU instead of someone else. Then see if you can raise those points in your interview.
Much love, Larry

HAH,
You walk into that interview know that the job is yours, not that you have a chance for it.
I have except one occassion got every job I have interviewed for(damn lack of a college ed) A positive attitude with a possitive appearence sets it off.
So walk in there chin held high and get what is yours. And if you dont get it, o well their loss on a good employee.
Good luck

Alexey, take what the above post says seriosly. I have had the same experince, the only job I interviewd for and didnt get was a job at the gap. However right now I have a hard time with flashbacks. It came up in the last job, eventhough I was able to hide them well. Good luck on your job serch. you are a good employe and it is there loss if they dont hire you. You got this.
best wishes Mike

Thanks guys for your wonderful advices. Thanks Dale, and all of you. I was thinking of you today. I hope that will help me. I don't know yet if I'll receive the job, but I hope I shall. Thanks for support, Alexey

Hello.
Thank you for support.
I guess my two interviews were not very good. In both cases the job offered to me was not what I thought it would be. Phoneys, and misinformators did their job... However, a gedree of confidence, I got from your replies. They helped.
I hope I'll find another job.
Thank you a lot, Alexey

Alexey,
Every interview is practice for the next one. I think you will become more confident at this and in the end you will land a job that's right for you.
From what you say, this really wasn't what you wanted.
Much love, Larry

Much love, Larry

Mark,
Good luck to you. I hope you will find a good job. I know it.
Thank you for believeing in me. It is important to know that you believe I can do that. It is true that what I want doesn't come easily. I need practice, and yes, I could start to work, but the position was unfit.
Good luck, Alexey

Hi, I would like to thank you once again for your support. Also I want to tell you a story of one of the interviews that I had. It was not good. I am shocked. "Triggers" The interview was approaching its end when that lady said that I'll need, above all, to make a "test task" at home. I had been seeking a position of marketing researcher, and she said I would make a data analysis and make a presentation in English. All for free! I said "no, give me a probation period and pay money." She also said "no" and when I was turning around to take my clothes, she grabbed a copy of my resume, ripped it and put in the trash can. I did not even leave the room... It was shock. I didn't realize it at the time, but I recalled what had happened hours later. I am glad that left those people as fast as I could. It was a hard day. Guys, I hope that your good advises will apply to me someday.  Also I know that it is not bad that didn't get that job. The more important thing is to believe that after failures, I'll still find a suitable and enjoyable work. Wish me good luck. Alexey

Alexey,
One thing that a survivor often find it difficult to do is stand his ground when he knows he is being used and exploited.
So congratulations! You figured out in a second what was going on and you refused to be exploited. Let her tear up your application and throw it in the trash can. It sounds like the trash can is the place where that job belongs anyway.
Much love, Larry

Hi Dale,
Thank you for support. I told my parents about the possibility that I could be coerced into strange job, and they helped me to figure out what to do before the interview.
I hope we'll talk soon. Thanks for email. I'll reply soon, and I am proud for you!
Your friend, Alexey

You are doing good with Russian. Good for you! I am proud of you, Dale. If we don't meet in chat on Sunday, let's talk later. Твой русский друг, Алексей
