Jesus Christ on a Cracker!


Jesus must of been watching over me lately because I was informed today that as long as I pass a behavioral test given by HR, I will be extended an offer to work for the company I have been interviewing with! They have agreed to pay me the salary I requested which is a huge increase than what I am currently getting paid, work is more rewarding and challenging, and my future boss seems pretty cool.

Yay for me! Because I got this job, I will also be hosting a Jersey Shore party in celebration of my new job. So excited I could scream!

She's a Stupid Bitch

I know I am copying a lot of these videos from another Blogger, but they are way to good to pass up.

Start Your Weekend Off Right with This...

Round 2

Well I am not sure if it was the expensive suit I wore, my previous work experience, my positive attitude, or my hand written Thank You cards I sent following the interview, but I have made it to a second round interview for the job I want. At least I think it is an interview.

I received an email from the administrative assistant asking me when I could come in next week to talk to the Head of the Department. And that was basically it. The email didn't have the word interview anywhere and because of that the bf thinks that this meeting is one where they will offer me the job and discuss salary/benefits. However, I by no means want to get my hopes up and also not go in prepared so I am going into this thinking it is another interview. So hopefully the bf is correct, but I cant go into this overly optimistic.

Interview - Update

Many of you readers personally sent me messages and comments wishing me good luck on the job interview I had this week. I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I am happy to report that the interview went great and I truly don’t think it could have gone any better. What was expected to be roughly a 30 minute interview turned into almost 2 hours. I clicked really well with both of the people who interviewed me. I interviewed with a woman who would be my manager. She was an extremely good looking young lady with a great sense of humor and even better hair.  I also interviewed with the VP of the department who also seemed quite young to hold the position he has. So as a said it went really well and I am optimistic about how they felt about me. The bad part is that they were going to be interviewing another 5 people after me as I was the first candidate to be interviewed. They are supposed to make an offer to someone before the end of February. Now I just have to sit and wait.

Job Interview Butterflies


I have a job interview today, in just a few hours actually. I am extremely nervous because I really want this to go well. I really want it to go well because I was told by my manager that the opportunity to go to Saudi Arabia is basically gone. They are taking two people from my department, and they are only going because they have been here the longest. Seniority sucks. I am the newest person here so I basically get screwed on everything. The thing that really bites my ass, is that the people that are going suck at their jobs. They are slow, always behind, but because they have been here longer, they get to take this opportunity. I work my ass off to prove myself and stand apart from the slackers here, and there are no rewards for that.

Hence why I really need this interview to go my way. I already had a phone interview which went really well, and I guess this part of the interview is all situational questions. Which I hate! I can tell you what I do on a daily basis, I can tell you the all the training I had, and I can also tell you why I am a good fit for the job. But when you ask me to recall a time I had to deal with a situation that I can barely remember from years before, I sort of have to come up with BS.

So I guess we will see how it goes. I have been going over situational questions online and trying to figure my answers for them. People that are close to me say that have a good feeling about this interview, so I am saying positive without being overly optimistic like I tend to get. I will let ya all know how it went.
