Okay, for those of you who read this thread, you know that I am getting ready to move. I have been looking for a job in NYC for months in hopes that I would not have to drain my savings to live.
Well, today I had a great phone interview with a major insurance company (my current occupational field) and they liked me! They liked me enough to ask me to come up in a few weeks for an interview! SQUEEEE!
Wish me luck! (Also, any interview advice would be much appreciated.)
Much luck pbbth! I will keep you in good thoughts for a great interview and I will keep my fingers & toes crossed too! 
Good luck 
Mucho squeees!!!
Don’t get nervous. If you get nervous don’t get more nervous because ohmygodimnervous. They need you as much as you need them. You’re good at what you do. When come back bring job offer
Cool beans. Sending lucking thoughts your way!
Good luck! Sending lots of positive vibes your way.
I appreciate all the happy thoughts! I will keep everyone updated on the interview after it happens. SQUEE!
Best of luck! I’ll be waiting to find out what happened!
What do you do in insurance? (Sales? Underwriting? Actuarial?)
heh, I came in to ask the same question.
Extra Squees to you! I totally understand the mix of excitement, trepidation, outright fear, curiousity about the new place and the mix of emotions that go into a big move like that. (we moved from Ohio to Los Angeles 3 years ago) Best of luck to you!
Try not to stick your tongue out too far when you introduce yourself and you’'ll be fine. Good Luck!
Good luck–and do try to avoid using the word “squee” during your interview!
Also avoid asploding.
And peeing on anyone’s shoes. Yes, even your own.
Good luck, blowingraspberrynoise!
A good interview technique is to use “success stories”. They have a rigid structure: a short description of what you did, a longer explanation of how you did it, and three examples of the results.
An example:
I created a new system for classifying claims.
I surveyed methods used at other companies and branches. I then interviewed department heads to see what their needs were. I circulated a proposal for the new method. I took the input from key stakeholders and incorporated their suggestions into a final document that I submitted to senior management.
As a result we saw a 10% decrease in administrtaive costs, which will amount to $15 M over 5 years. Staff using the new method have communicated that they like working with it and it has reduced their administrative tasks letting them spend more time devloping new business. On a personal level I found it very helpful to have talked with people all over the company and developed new contacts.
