Job Hunting --- Lead

[chaoswolf]

Text is below. I omitted the phone number for now, but will give you information later. Don't panic gridlore. I have read your concerns, and I have comprised questions. You have to give me credit for this one thing: it is a job lead.

Dear Kathryn,

Thank you for your interest in Bankers Life & Casualty Company. I'm delighted to confirm our meeting on Monday, June 11 2007 @ 1200 PM, which is the first step in the application process.

Please allow 1 to 2 hours for our meeting. I encourage you to bring a recent copy of your resume and to prepare a list of questions. We will discuss our company history, carreer path outline, training program and compensation package during this session. Business attire is requested. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at XXX-XXX-XXXX. I look forward to meeting you on Monday.

Sincerely, Roya Mohammadi.

I think that I know Roya.

If it's who I think she is then she lives up in PA area, is a Bahá'í and is in her late 20's-early 30's. She's also very nice but with a subtle & strict sense of when humor is permissible.

Dress professionally, act with due respect & dignity, and, if you see any indication that she is a Bahá'í (ring with symbol, nine pointed star somewhere in her jewelry, that kind of thing) then mention that you know some of us.

The problem is that both Roya & Mohammed are fairly common name elements so I could be wrong. If she's Muslim then mentioning knowing Bahá'ís could backfire badly. We want you to get the job so that we can sign the kids up for life insurance.

Like I said to gridlore: I will go to the interview, see how that goes. If there's anything doubt-like in my mind, I'll back out. If it looks like it is an honest to goodness job, I will go for it. We shall see.
