I did an internship years ago at an organization...I have interviewed for a position at the organization...

The phone interview consisted of the manager, along with the team mates, all asking me questions.

It went fine, no issues there.

The manager sent me a correspondence with additional info that I need to provide for a presentation, CC ing the other team mates.

A name on the email stood out to me.
One of the names was of someone that I briefly shadowed during college (for like 2 hours maybe) and did an informational interview with.

When I was in college, I had a big presentation to do as a part of my internship.
The presentation was to be done at the organization that she worked at, the same one that she works at now, which I have the opportunity to work at.

The presentation was the exact type of presentation that she would do, working at the job that she does.

When I was in college, I asked her a question for advice for my PowerPoint presentation.

She responded, then added, "if you send the PowerPoint to me in an email, I can look it over for you".

I did not send her my PowerPoint.

I truly believe that she asked for my presentation so that she could utilize MY PowerPoint as her own, to present over and over as a part of her job.

When I saw her name on the email, it made my heart drop.

I'm a little conflicted about this job now.

Your thoughts?

I wouldn’t give it a second thought. If it’s a job you want then go for it!

@Jenny1234 This would be choice #2. I'm really hoping to hear back from the folks that I interviewed with about a week ago.

@iamnikki what’s your first choice?
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@Jenny1234 A job that allows me to travel locally to different organizations, meeting with my clients, then going home once I'm done and completing the "paperwork".

Sometimes putting your best foot forward is the best way to go with these things.

What gave you the impression that she was going to appropriate your presentation?
