First of all, thank you so very much to everyone who sent me helpful tidbits of information regarding freelancing/consulting. I have compiled a whole list of things to consider and act upon. I have an informational meeting today with a woman who runs her own business, consults, is an event planner, and also a professor. She wants to look at my portfolio to advise me on possibilities. How awesome is that??
But I also talked to some headhunters yesterday and today and actually have a hot lead on a job…we’ll see. One of the HHs is trying to set up a phone interview, and it was all so whirlwind that my head is spinning!
She asked me questions about my f’ing former employer (of course), and I gave her the name of my former Boss (uh oh), who is very well known in the industry, and I DON’T want them calling her!! Ex-Boss never did call me even though she expressed that she wanted to with several people. And I’m certainly not going to call HER. Regardless, my name is now connected with hers and I’m freaking.
I also didn’t do well when the HH called me a third time and asked me interview questions! I wasn’t prepared for that. But OH WELL. What can I do now? I guess bottom line is, ALWAYS be prepared, eh?
I don’t even know if I would want this job anyway, but beggars can’t be choosers right now and I need the interview experience under my belt anyway. Shit.
I hate having the fact that I was fired hanging over my head. I still don’t quite know how to handle it. And the HH got all kinds of stuff out of me like the fact that I got a severance package of ZERO.
I’m a big mess right now. Gotta figure out how to calm down.
