Mr.White Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Basically I have an interview at Exxon Mobil (the oil giant) for an internship/ most likely future job security/offer and a full ride to certain universities. I am competing against the top students of many different local community colleges and if I do get this I am basically set for the rest of my life in my career choice. My ex has known full well of this and even told me during our break up she will wish me luck. She knows the exact time of my interview as well (8 A.M) I may be over thinking but would a simple 'thank you' suffice based on her 'good luck' to me? What happens if she calls me?
portableversion Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 make her at least leave a message, but easier said than done, you'll do what you feel like if and when that call comes. I have a feeling you may want to talk . Exxon i shuld try to get a job with tose people.I bet my ex would really be knocking on my door.
big bear Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 The evil witch knew I had an interview, since, I had to collect some documents from her. Messaged me asking how it was the next day. I did not reply. Called me 6 times after that to ask the same. I finally called and told (the call lasted 55 seconds and after that silence). Let them leave a motherf*cking message. Bloody Leeches.
SuperGeek Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Focus on the interview, don't worry about your EX. She's an EX, she gets to take a back seat to everything else now. Just block her number and texts for the whole day so you can put it out of your mind. Deal with it later. What is important is the interview and your performance. If there is a risk she could blow the interview for you, get another phone or borrow one from a friend she doesn't know. Get a prepaid phone, whatever. Do what it takes to ignore your EX for just this day. Focus 100% on your job and the interview. tell yourself that you can grieve about your EX later. Literally just put all that emotional **** away in a box and forget it. Focus on being good in your field. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR EX TO SCREW THIS UP FOR YOU - DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO NOT LET HER IMPACT YOUR PERFORMANCE. Also, in advance of your interview, make sure you know where the office is and the commute time prior to the interview (like a few days before it). Time how long it takes you to get there and then add more time to this count so that you arrive early. Have your clothes laid out in advance and ironed. Have it planned out completely so that you don't risk being late. Be professional, confident, but not cocky. Being 5 copies of your CV stapled together and in a nice professional binder. Bring writing pens so you can write down questions during the interview. Have a list of questions for them as well. If you are interviewing at a time where there is a lot of traffic/commuting, leave even earlier. There is nothing wrong with getting there much earlier and waiting for the interview then arriving late. Getting there even 5 minutes late could blow it for you. This is your moment and this is about you only. Forget about her and her drama for just a single day. Seriously. Oh and kick some ass on that interview! You deserve it.
