I have a job interview (over the phone) tomorrow morning at 9am! Note: This is with the sister company that exists in the same building as my last job (different people, but same "owners").
About Me
- Mrs. Squirrel
- Pastor's wife, step-mom, and self-employed medical transcriptionist. I find myself scrambling like a squirrel trying to "get it all done" while trying to cope with the many challenges of life. [I think it is safe to say that we do live in “interesting times”.] I am grateful for my Bible-believing faith and simple past-times (i.e. sanity-savers). Before I got married, I completed a Master's Degree in Archaeology. I also had two wonderful opportunities to travel overseas with family (on tours). I confess a romantic and action-loving heart with a great fondness for movies (both in front of and behind the screens). I'm particularly fond of swashbuckling movies and monster movies (new or old, as long as they aren't too slimy). In more ways than I care to admit, my whole life is a squirrel's nest - kind of messy, but there are occasionally safe places to hide.

Do tell how it goes :0)
Well... I'm not sure.
I think the interview went fine, but I'm not feeling very confident about the outcome. However, something in the back of my head keeps saying that I still have a good shot at the job. It's a bizarre state of mind.
The fellow was pleasant enough, but he kept stressing specific skills that they wanted and emphasized how picky they were about hiring. He even told me a story about the last person hired and they took 3-months looking for "the perfect person". He should have stopped there, because he added that the person hired worked for 3-4 days and quit. So much for the perfect person for the job considering the job perfect for them. Go figure.
[Personally, it sounded like the only person they were going to hire would be someone who had already worked there - i.e. complete knowledge of their programs and systems from the get-go with enough ESP to automatically know exactly what to do and when.]
He did tell me at the end of the interview that there was nothing in our conversation that would disqualify me from still being considered for the job. That's good.
Now, I know that they need people. They are short staffed and people still there are looking for other work (local unrest in the ranks). But the fellow indicated that this interview wasn't for immediate hire... "future needs" he said. The interview notes wouldn't even be sent to the higher-ups until the end of NEXT week, and it could be 3-weeks or better before they do anything.
I also know that they only have a few applications. [I have a friend in the front office who used to be my supervisor. She took my application and mentioned that they didn't have a lot to choose from.]
So, I guess the work search will continue in the meantime. Can't draw unemployment without active searching. And ultimately, we'll see what God has in store... He will either choose this job for me, or point me at another one. But, this one is not out of the running, yet.
I'll let you know if there are further developments.
Hugs!
