Preparing for a Phone Interview - JobDiggs.com

During my call center career I had many phone interviews. I felt confident, prepared and ready for them. After working fulltime with my spouse, for a little over a year, I decided it is time to return to Home Agent work, for the extra money.

Following my son's suggestion, I decided to do some research in preparation of my phone interview. Preparing for a Phone Interview, at JobDig.com, was very helpful.

One of their suggestions is that you still get dressed, as you would for a face-to-face interview. Many call center experts state this will give you a sense of professional that will translate over the phone.

I'll let you know how my interview goes on Saturday.

Little One - 6ft 5inches and still growing!

Today's news is sad to take. Circuit City files for bankruptcy and DHL is laying off employees. And of course, we don't hear about the smaller businesses closing their doors.

My daily prayers, include all Americans, to keep their faith strong and close. We will get through this and it will make us stronger.

Now onto the better news. The Nellis Air Show 2008 was absolutely fantastic. It's was a pleasure working with Nellis AFB Marketing Department, meeting the other vendors and of course the crowd. Our son, Marcus has announced that he's signing up with the Air Force, as an officer. He's also planning on expanding his philanthropy, after he's more financially successful. His charity will support middle and upper middle class homeless.

My pain management has been an issue so while I'm dealing with that the guys are cooking...or not!

Our Teen's Dream of Philanthropy

Our "Little One" aka Mr. Marcus

Yesterday, while driving home from the Nellis AFB Air Show, our son announced that when he becomes financial successful he's planning to start a charity to assist middle and upper middle homeless.

Here's why this cuts so deep in my heart, our family has experience being homeless. We didn't qualify for programs due to my husband's income. That left us outside of the majority food, housing and financial assistance programs. And it was the generosity of others that actually helped us dig ourselves out.

This experience has made us extremely humble, increased our empathy for others and realized that this would and did make us stronger.

Marcus has been involved in volunteer, material and financial donations, and mentoring programs since he was very small. He's been instrumental in obtaining furniture donations for the teen room at his recreation center. He always donates his clothes and shoes instead of throwing them away. And for all of his good works we had the honor of seeing him selected as the Boys and Girls Clairemont Youth of the Year for 2007.

It's my husband and I's proudest moment to see this young man take this passion and responsiblity of his parents and claim it for himself.

The Lord has truly blessed us with a child who is truly growing into a Godly man. Thank you our Heavenly Father.
