Wish Me Luck.....

It the interview is Thursday, how do you know when the job would start if you get it? Is is possible to to work both into your schedule. $4K is $4K and well worth some rearranging!

Jon.

That's Plan A.  Unfortunately, it's a week at a time over the course of a couple months.  Dunno if The H will go for it, but I'm going to see what I can do.

[flidais]

Ooooh The H!  Fancy shmancy place.  lol  I keep forgetting how close you guys live to us. 
Good Luck to You!!!!

[maelstrom0370]

Thanks Flidais!!!

And if I do get the job, I'll be...like two feet from the Tridge so we'll definitely be stopping by for a visit!!

Just got some good news on a back-up plan as well...
Sandy just got hired at Dow Corning and she and the guy interviewing her got to talking about me and my experience.  If The H doesn't work out, I'm to call him directly! 
Hmmmm..I guess not all of our good karma got used up on our son after all!!!

[flidais]

Yes you will be very close.  And maybe next year you can convince them that they want to do a beer tent for our highland festival.  I don't think we've ever asked, but they are so close, it would be perfect.

So...
The upside is that I now have an interview set up for Thursday.  The downside is that if I do get the job, I lose out on a $4k job a friend had hired me for.  I s'pose it's too much to ask the Universe for both, so I'll definitely take the full-time job!

Technically speaking, $4K would $4,096.00, a sum I'm quite sure never came up in the course of the discussion. 

/Yeah, I'm a giant nerd.

[Cyron]

lol.. around computers much??  but ya i highly doubt that number was brought up.

[maelstrom0370]

So...

Round 1 went well.  Should here about Round 2 by mid next week!!

[flidais]

Wooohoooo!!!!

[Poldugarian Warrior]

I hate that round 2 stuff. The waiting just eats at ya. But, just take it easy.

[maelstrom0370]

Just got the call today for the 2nd interview!!  Keep your fingers crossed!!!

[Poldugarian Warrior]

Right On. Keep thinkin positive.

[Lady Gwyndolyn]

You'll get it... keep the faith!!

[maelstrom0370]

Went through Round 2 and found out it's down to me and two others. Should know the result sometime this week.

Grrrrrrr! I hate waiting!!!

Watch them internal applicants, they do get preferred treatment even if they aren't qualified. I've seen it done at my work. And they were both internal apllicants for a better or different position that required different skills, but because they liked the one guy that wasn't qualified and didn't like the guy that was qualified they took the unqualified guy instead. That just goes to show there's favortism in the work place all over, and it really doesn't matter if you can actually do the job, it's who you rub elbows with. Keep the faith. Though this is just an incident I heard of so don't feel bad if they take that other guy/girl over you, that guy/girl is probably just a brown noser. But, still I'm rootin for ya.
