What's been happening in my world the past two weeks?
Two weeks ago tomorrow our house (the one that's been a rental for a couple years) went on the market.
Within 8 days, without even having an open house, we had 3 interested parties.
Two of the 3 interested parties submitted offers, insulting low ball offers.
Upon hearing there was other interest in the house the first couple, who fell in love with the house, adjusted and re-submitted their offer.
We countered.
They countered.
We agreed.
Inspection tomorrow.
Appraisal forthcoming.
Fingers crossed for all involved.
*******************************************************
I had two interviews for a job I'm really interested in. I should hear today if I was chosen.
If that falls through I have a phone interview for a different job this afternoon. I've never done a phone interview and don't really know what to expect. Anyone have any experience or advice?
Phone interview... keep it casual. Less formal than face to face. They'll be cued from your resume, so be prepared to chat about whatever you said on that or your cover letter. Put a mirror in front of you and smile. They'll hear that in your voice. Be in a quiet room so you aren't distracted by dogs, kids or crying babies!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hope it all works out.
And AG has all the right advice. Keep your personality and voice UP 'cause they're judging you on your voice. DON'T MUMBLE! :)
GOOD LUCK!
