ImInHeels

Nothing fun or heely, just a smart gents pair of shoes. Some of the places I'm interviewing are Banks & Trust Companies that deal with clients with high nett worth! These companies have very strict dress codes!

Thanks Roni, I had a new problem late last week, my heel on my work shoes broke (I know I sound like a girl), leaving me with no good shoes. Ok I say that I do have that pair of 4" stellito heels however thats a sure fire way to get a few negative points in an interview. So I went out and got a nice pair for £30 in the sale reduced from £70

Ok, been invited back for a couple more interviews at some other places. Problem is each of these jobs is in a slightly different area, so lots of swatting up for each one for the technical interviews. Also have the second interview for the first job. Lots of options at the moment!

wow, 11 days later and people are still dragging their heels so to speak. I'm desprate to get things moving but things seem to have stalled waiting for interviews to be arranged. Would be good just to get things over and done with.

I think i feel safe enough to do it at night, and as much as i'd love to go heeling in the day there are a few things that are stopping me, at least for now. 1. Partly how my brother see's things, he already takes great pleasure mocking girls for wearing heels, more so if they trip, stumble or slip. 2. My brother let out a mocking laugh, when he heard i'd be shopping in new look (womens and mens clothes shop). 3. Living on an island, although its too big by far to know everyone, its still small enough to know some of the charters, such as "the spotty guy in the trench coat" say that and most people would know who he is. To that effect not all of me wants to be "the guy that wards women's heels. The main reason for the first two points aren't necessarily down to approval of my brother, but the male population he represents.

What does that mean?

The human resources department (personnel) need to chase the manager of the department where the job is available.

Thanks , Heard a little more back today. The job where i had the interview are waiting on a board meeting to discuss budget, ect. (this is a new role). So are looking to setup the interview for some time next week. The other two jobs I applied for, one had already started interviews before i got my CV in, they are waiting for someone to accept however if this falls through then they will want to interview me. And the last job I applied for still haven't responded, and the HR is chasing up the line manager.

Ok, I know there is a lot of talk of discouraging late night heeling down dark unlit roads. Well this is how all my heeling has been done so far, and while some of the streets are dark, others close to the main road are very well lit. So every time i've been walking down these dark roads there has always been some nerves, although the high heel trainers i've been wearing (see my previous post) are well hidden, there is a a feel in side of me. This gets worse as i approach the well lit areas and see someone walking towards me, knowing I will be in full light. So after regularly going out for night time trips, and still getting this fear, I was walking towards the almost flood lit area when i see this guy approaching, knowing that its best for me to keep my head high, keep walking and just walk past him. So as we approach, and I hope he moves the other way, sadly not again. Just as we are passing i hear "Oi Mate" I was think oh great, I turn to him, and hes asking if I can change some money for him. I told the guy that I had left my wallet at home as i didn't need it. (True story, After recent assaults and muggings in the area). Ok you might call me a little stupid to be walking alone at this time of night when there have been recent assaults and muggings, let along in heels. However it's my home "patch" and if i don't have the confidence to be out where I live at night, then i shouldn't be living here. (I admit its no UK problem area where coming out of your house gets you stabbed).

looks like I should be getting a second Technical interview. Apprantly they were very impressed by me in my first interview. Time to brush up on the systems they use in preparation for the second technical interview.

Thanks for the replies, I'll try and respond to everything and try and not miss anything out. I can see cases where a female friend gets a boyfriend after your friends can see you as a threat, and react in a manor as they may not understand your friendship. However even in cases when she already has a boyfriend, and your(my) only intention is friendship, if the guy is in a position where he rejects surly he must be very insecure in himself & his relationship. In the case of the twins. The other twin already had a boyfriend at the time, and although we were not in the same social circle I would always stop to say hello to him if i ever saw him out. The same with any female friend I have who has a BF. I never invited them out myself, it was either to a group thing, or them inviting me somewhere. While I am aware of my actions and I'm not usually a huggy/kissy person, baring the occasional hug hello. However maybe i should review how it looks to others when I'm chatting with women, maybe something there from a distance could be missread, however I can't see how. as for budda's comment on picking up on my interest of female attire, this is not something that i ever talk about or discuss, from time to time I may pay a complement on their outfit. Its only happened a few times, and baring the case of the twins, the others have all be around the time of getting new boyfriends. I have considered the aspect of my own personally, and there are cases when I find that maybe our friendship isn't right for each other. These are fine its all part of making new friends, however there are times where we get on like a house on fire. In some cases are more then able to sit and chat for hours on end. (Ok with that last point in mine, I can also see how some guys could feel insecure).

Sorry for the long post, but I've read through it a few times to try and make sure its all clear. OK, so I've known "the twins" now for a few years or so. I met them via a friend who worked with one of them. He shortly started dating the other sister, (the other one already had a boy friend). In my usual style I usually find talking to women fairly easy and would happily chat to them both on group nights out. Anyway over the years of going to their birthday parties, as group night out, a few times with just me and the twins, there next party come's along (this was last year). I was invited to their birthday party again. However a day or two before their party my online invite disappears, nothing else was said. Anyway I was at another friends party last week, and my friend and his girl friend where there, turns out her sisters boy friend took offense to me being friends with his girl friend and didn't want me at the party, or her to talk to me anymore. I guess looking back she did become much more distant around that time. This is probably one of the more extreme cases I've had confirmation of. I guess some guys are threatened by my friendship with their girl friends. (There's been one or two other cases of female friends becoming very distant in the past).

I was going to say, I was wondering why the focus was moving away me and my interview to someone else. Thanks for wishing me luck guys. Had the interview on Monday, seemed to go well, but I've not heard back yet :S need to chase down the agency who got me the interview. To answer your question! I am now working as a? _IT Consultant_. If, as a result of this interview, I will be working as a ? _Analysis/Programmer

I second Crazy, what ever you wear has no connection to your sexually.

I thought about it (jokingly in my head) but the only dress heels i own are stilettos which would be a bit ott for a first interview.

Ok, so tomorrow after work I have an interview. As some of you may know from my previous posts I'm not 100% happy where I'm working at the moment. So this is the 2nd step forward in trying to fix things. (The first was joining a recruitment agency)

happy feat - yea, its less so when I'm busy and having a good time, however there is always some point when i get home, realize the weekend is over and am a short stop away from work. heelguy - Your right I am lucky that i'm not working weekends (yet). Money is tight. sendra45- I've had a meeting with a recruitment consultant, While I feel my stills are not as good as they think, however they believe i could get an extra £10,000 - £15,000. I work to live, would so be doing something else if i could! On the plus side I did order some shoes on Thursday which arrived today. Dr. Shoe - I spent close to a year on medical leave, after that I couldn't want to get back into work and out of the house, I started full time which was a mistake, but worked out in the end. Bladerunner - that's an option for the future

ok when i say great job, I mean for the person who wanted it. Its one of the top local companies in what we do! I just hate every minute of it! Time for change I think!

How many of you get that I hate Sunday night feeling? Its Sunday, it's 7pm and you realize in a few short hours you will have to go to bed and be up for another week of work! You free time is coming to an end, and you will soon be back in the chains of work. or more recently for myself, its Saturday night, and I know my weekend if 1/2 over! I'm in a good job, many people could only dream of being where I am at the moment but I always get that feeling, sometimes even on a Sunday morning, that the following day I'll be back at work, sitting at the desk at 9am watching the clock, every second waiting for my lunch break, then the end of the day! Counting down to the weekend, again! It's not as if I'm in some low paying dead end job, but I think its time to move on and start searching for a new job, in a slightly different direction. Sorry rant over, just needed to release a little bit.

I'm about 5"6 with size 8 UK feet. while out in "guy" mode without heels i can be a little short. However the great upside (when i build my confidence) is 4 or 5" heels won't make me too tall. Also i can get almost any shoes i want.

Recently I got something rather similar. They are quite comfortable.

I use them around the house though. They are very friendly for the neighbors

because they don't make much noise.

Y.

I only got them a couple of days ago, and poped out in them once, they are nice and quite, and look kinda like guys shoes with a long pair of jeans.

I'm thinking of going for a quick walk tonight once it gets a little quite.

Got some new boots I want to try and go heeling in!

One of my friends is a producer and he lives to work. My Brother works in a Bank and one of his co-workers is a millionaire. I work with a guy, and while he works to live, he said even if he came into millions he would still work, at least part time, and picking and choosing what he wants to do. I think its the more "fun" jobs where people live to work, and it seems a lot of them are in the media & Film.

Does your brother and father know about your interest in wearing hh?

Neither them or my mum knows. My Brother & Dad are the typical type who would never understand why a guy would wear heels. They would have trouble understanding why anyone would do something that's not "normal"

Personally I have several things planed out during evenings after work. I hate being stuck in an office (in the summer & Winter). Every minute of my work I'm wishing I could be somewhere else. (I work in IT providing services for my clients.) At my last job, I didn't enjoy it, however I didn't hate it either. I just didn't get on with one of the directors (the reason I left). I love being outside. It's a shame I can't find a job that i can access that pays well enough.

I admit you need something in your life. If i was to come into a lot of money I would quit my job as one of my first tasks. I'd go and do a lot of the stuff I want to do. When I'm ready I'll do volunteer/charity work. I guess this puts me more in the middle, however a lot of the "work" i'd like to do tends to pay to low you can't live off it. I guess I mostly hate being stuck inside all day.
