Big, huge, enormous news!
I ... have an interview tomorrow. For a job.
What's really cool was that although I had to put my male name on my resume, I included Dorothy as my preferred name, and that's the name the lady who contacted me used.
I am going to be a bit of a nervous wreck so huggles appreciated!

How does that old television
How does that old television ad go, "you deserve a break today...."
Good Luck Dottie.

Think about your self talk.
I'm just a cranky old broad. Think for a moment about the way what we say predicts and molds the way we are. If you say, "I will do just fine.", you will. If you predict that you will be a "nervous wreck" ... So just knock it off. OK?
job?
As they say in the theater, "Break a leg!"

Think positive.
By the sounds of it, they're willing to address you properly, so you should go in with confidence that you'll get the position.
Sending some huggles to give you a little boost.

You will do good at the interview. Your writing is crisp, direct and to the point, that is the best way to answer questions in an interview. You are a positive person and people want to hire positive people.
I will not say good luck for luck is just chance. I want you to do your best and I know you will. Now go to that interview, be yourself and you will give the people or persons who are interviewing you a great impression of what you can add to their workforce

Congratulations ...
On the interview. I hope you do well and get the position.
Luck to you
And many hugs too.
Hey...
Even though I don't comment much or post anymore... I had to stop and take a moment to say that you're amazing, Dottie. I hope you get the job, because they'll be lucky if they get you.

~And so it goes...
Here's wishing you the best of luck!
I had my third interview with GSK today; hopefully the final one as the Sr. VP I interviewed with told me she wanted a decision made by the end of next week. Hopefully that means I'll see an offer shortly after!
I have another interview with a different company tomorrow afternoon as well. Hopefully one or perhaps even both will bear fruit. It would be nice to be able to play one against the other to see how much I can get from them - not to mention simply being able to choose as to which job I'd rather have.
I have interviewed with several companies in person now, and so far my gender has not been an issue. GSK was actually kind of humerous though as the first non-background question I was asked was how I felt about diversity in the workplace. I actually smiled at the interviewer and told him that I lived diversity every day - that I am the poster child for diversity, to which he smiled very big. I explained to him that I have always believed in hiring the best person for the job, irregardless of their sexuality, gender, the color of their skin, their last name, or anything else. I want the best person for the job, and nothing else matters. I then went on to say that when we talked over the phone they evaluated me entirely on my skills, experience, and personality - and that I believed it should be no different in person; that I am still the same person, and that should be true for everyone.
GSK has a very progressive diversity policy, as does my other potential employer. A good indication is always whether they list gender identity in their EEOC statement. Always look for that when researching a possible employer.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Dorothy!

hmm is it possible to....
is it possible to breed, clone, some form of mass production and then compress them into a small handheld canister to be then unleashed on anyone who could use a good old Hug from a Huggle?
If so tell me we need to mass produce them and start shipping them in amass to several members of the site who have periods of high strain, stress, depression, etc... for instant release when the canister is breached.
Good Luck, going through the in person interview is always nerve racking especially for me even though i only use my legal name and am content as a male, but as an autistic I always feel like I need a serious pressure valve release before and after an interview for anything.
We all have our issues so I can only wish you the best success in your interview and if it goes well I hope you enjoy your new job.
"Cortana is watching you!"
Fingers and toes are crossed for you.
Best wishes Dorothy. If you don't get the job it will be their loss. The fact that they are prepared to address you as Dorothy is a good sign.

Like clotted cream

A Good Start
A Good Start that they called you Dorothy when they contacted you for the interview. At least they are shown
acceptance of the real you from the start.
Love and Hugs
