You Love Me! You Really Love Me!
I'm in the process of looking for a new job. Now that I'm done with school for awhile extra work and extra cash would be nice. (BTW I got 2 A's and 2 A-'s this semester. Go me! Go me!). But anyways, back to the job thing...
I was emailing resumes left and right and wasn't hearing anything back and I was getting a little concerned. I have never been one to have a hard time finding a job. I have good credentials and I'm good at what I do (including interviewing. call it a gift.) so this came as quite a shock when days passed (not weeks or months - see how totally retarded I am?) and I still hadn't heard anything.
So yesterday I faxed out a few resumes and what to my wondering eyes should appear but, well, I guess nothing appeared, but people actually started CALLING me. And they wanted to interview me. Now. Immediately. I was a little unprepared for that but I hauled my butt home and dressed as professionally as possible and ran off to a couple of interviews.
The first one went smashingly. I have experience in their line of work which puts me at the top of their list of hirees. (is that a real word?) And they seemed genuinely interested in hiring me. We'll see how the second interview goes and what kind of pay they're willing to give me.
The second place I interviewed we barely got into the details and it just wasn't anything I was interested in doing. The man thanked me for being honest and that was the end of that.
I had a little bit of a phone interview with another company and they wanted me to come in for a real interview but it wasn't working with my schedule. If they really want me they're going to have to work around MY schedule:) So that's where things stand right now. I'll keep you posted.
P.S. does it really not seem like Christmas to anybody else? Maybe it's the fairly warm, snowless weather we've been having or maybe it's just not as magical as it was when we were kids. I don't know but it just doesn't feel like Christmas. And most of my shopping is already done! Maybe THAT'S why it doesn't feel like Christmas...
P.P.S (or is it P.S.S.? I never remember) Hubby and I celebrated our first anniversary over the weekend. Can you believe it's been a year already? I know, neither can I. We had a perfectly lovely time which included seeing Harry Potter, having dinner at Bombay House (where we ran into a few of my fellow bloggers: Holly, MDJ, and Stoic - good to see you guys) and a few other things that I'll spare all my readers from having to hear about but I'm sure you can imagine!
