Oooh, congrats!
Take a few deep breathes, relax, and think positive.
You'll do great, hon.

If they're courting you, then there's a good chance they'll LOVE you. And hey, if it's over the phone, you don't even have to look nice. Best of luck!
Oh, and I second erika.

You've got the power -- they are courting you. No need to worry. Sounds like they're looking for a reason to hire you, not for a reason to not hire you. So, there is nothing to worry about. If it is meant to be, it will be.
Otherwise, screw em.

Posted: 2/6/07 at 3:26pmWhat a wonderful compliment that they are courting you! Relax, you've got the upper hand. They already see something they like in you.

Good luck!
I had a phone interview while I was on vacation; best phone interview ever. I was so relaxed, they loved me. The job didn't pan out - long story - but still, relaxed is best.

Oh, good Lord....
Walk away from this board.
None of us are working THIS second (or, if we are at work, we are wasting time) so don't be coming to us for advice...
RELAX

You'll be fine.

Overreact much? It's a common error, which was made by more than just you in this thread.
Just passing along something to clear up commonly misspelled words. Learn it, love it, ues it.
