Wish me luck tomorrow!
« on: May 09, 2011, 07:17:51 PM »
I've been fortunate enough to have been volunteered to interview for the District Manager position at my company. A many of you know, I recently started working again in February after being unemployed for over a year...Well the guy that hired me as a manager for one of the stores (the district manager) is going back to his home town in Colorado because a District Manager position opened up and he was hired for it which opened his position.

I was going to apply but I changed my mind as I thought I wouldn't have a chance.  Well, I received an e-mail last Monday from the regional director that he would like to interview me for the position.  Naturally I was happy but rightfully nervous as if I'm hired for this position, It's a very large pay raise and I would be in charge of all stores in Henderson, Las Vegas and one in Mesquite.  The reason I was put up for the position is because they want to hire from within and I'm the only one with a college degree and currently working on my M.B.A....anyway wish me luck!  

If any of you have any tips for interviewing for an upper management position, let me know!

Love Wiggs ;D

Tomorrow would be a good day to let your Jewish side come out.
Good Luck!

If they give you lip with the questions, hint at your connections to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and that you've got their numbers on speed dial.

lol.........Boy that would be a story to tell...You want to here something awesome?  A couple weeks ago my boss said, "I was talking to HR last week and XXXX said if we drug tested everyone in the company, they would lose half the employees to MJ"....I asked, "What if they have a medical MJ card?"  He said, "Then we can't do anything"....


I was very happy that evening.

during the interview mention that you are a high ranked poster at "getbig", this should do the trick!

Good luck, Wiggs !


Btw, you might not want to bring up the fact that you like large, muscular black men that dress up like lions that fuck grapefruits for sexual amusement. Just my honest, professional opinion. Talk about baseball instead. It'll really be a nice icebreaker. Your welcome, bud. And, again, best wishes. :)

Since KFC expects to hire black people for their staff, they prob wont test for weed, so you should be ok.  Good luck!

Goood luck Wiggs...hopefully you get it...

but it sucks that they do that "hire from within", sucks for people who can be the "new blood", especially the young guns...
I've had situations where jobs that I applied for, they only interviewed "from within", they had to put out the job announcement---they already had who they were going to hire in mind, it was just a show...and then that person didn't do too well on the job.

You are making gains, and it is all due to GetBig! ;D

Good luck, Since being here you've been a very positive representative of Getbig.  There's an old saying, "You reap what you sow" and my friend you will sow in abundance.  I would brush up on some reading before the big day. Covey's seven habits of highly effective people and Jesus-CEO are two of my fav's and most motivational. 

Also, Take the time you have off to do some research. Learn all you can about your new employer. Learn about their product lines, their philosophies, and their corporate culture. Call around to see if anyone in your network knows any of your future co-workers and ask that person to introduce you prior to your first day. Wouldn't it be nice to see a friendly face when you walk through the door on your first day?

Plan what you're going to wear during the first week of work. Remember, you'll want to wear your most conservative outfits to start off, until you figure out what's appropriate and what isn't. See what needs to go to the dry cleaner or the tailor, what needs to be washed and ironed, and what needs to be replaced. This will save you from having to take care of those things when you may be coming home tired. That first week of a new job can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Believe me, dress to the nines and you will turn heads and command respect like no other Getbigger.
Plan the route you'll take to work as well as some alternate routes. Should there be traffic, or if a train line is out of service, you'll be glad you did, no one wants to show up late for anything esp. a new job!!!!!






STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
