I wore my black suit Iskirt)and Chanel scarf (black and gold) and I think I have a fair chance at the job.
Thanks to everyone here who helped me decide what to wear.

5. No -- it was easy, really. |
|
I interviewed with six people, three in each group, for an hour each group. I knew someone in each group, so that made it easy, too. I've worked with these folks before, and I'm a known quantity. That helped. The questions were easy, and dealt mostly with job-related issues. The big boss asked me some questions that I wondered about -- what books I read, for example. I read a lot of books, and a varied group of them, so that was easy. I didn't have a prepared answer, and I was truthful. My answer was that I just got through reading the Jean Auel "Clan of the Cave Bear" series, all five of them, and a book by Augusten Burroughs, "Running with Scissors." All good, by the way.
I also mentioned that a day without reading the national news and local newspapers was incomplete, which is true.
If they can wait for me until May, I think I may have the job. And even if they can't, the boss said she had a couple of other jobs she wanted to consider me for. So it looks very positive.

3. If you haven't done so already, send the interviewer(s) a letter |
|
thanking them for the opportunity to be considered for the position. You should also reiterate your experience, skills and the value you will add to the organization.
Good luck.

Before I posted this, I sent all of them a personal note on Crane monarch sheets, personally addressed to each, referring to the interview and stating my interest in the position. I mailed them also, before posting. I have no idea how effective this is, but I always do it.
