Want one of my four leaf clovers? I'm sure you'll be fine without them.

Thanks to everyone...
I promise that after the interview I'll post what it was for... I'm just being half superstitious now... already told too many people...

Carla - clean hankie and undies and all will be well. That's what my teacher used to say anyway!

Best of luck and I hope that hangover from your housewarming will have disappated by then!

Keep us posted............................

I can reveal now what it was:

I just has an interview for Marketing Executive at Penguin. A kind of dream job really...

Just the fact they called me for the interview is in itself a victory because I guess hundreds of people apply to these jobs... Now I have to wait 2 weeks and then they might call for a second round of interviews...

I don't think it went too badly but I don't want to think about it any more... I'll just wait for that call saying thanks but no thanks...

Wow - Penguin! They never send me any books unless I really beg! I could have a contact on the inside!!! :-)

Fingers crossed for you Carla - don't put yourself down so much. You've as much chance as anyone (and you're probably nicer than the other bods anyway!)

Execute people in market places.

(Or release WOLP the same week as HP5, and other bright ideas).

None of those are Penguin so it's not my problem.

I'm not sure I did that well... and if i pass this there is still a second round of interviews, but they said they'd only call in 2 weeks...

oh well at least i was good enough to get the interview...

Well done for getting the interview in the first place Carla - Penguin v. good thing. Fingers, toes etc. still crossed for the phone call in 2 weeks - clever you!

Congratulations on the interview :) It would be so cool. You'd get to see books before everybody.
