Well, I must have answered all my questions right because I go back to the first company for my 3rd interview tomorrow! :D
I ran out of interview worthy outfits so I braved the mall this afternoon and found a gorgeous ivory sweater and grey tailored pants for $30 total. I splurged $9 on a multi strand of faux pearls. I feel confident I have this job - I better after spending all the time and money going for it! :p
I have not heard from the second job yet. I weas really hoping I would. My brother coincidentally knows the company's old hiring manager very well.... in fact this guy was going to help me with my job hunt. I wonder if he still has influence with the company now that he's gone; would it hurt to have him call the company and put in a good reference? There's just something about this company that makes me WANT the job. Its a lower base salary and presented as more stressful, but it sounds so challenging yet rewarding that I pray I get that job.
We will pray for you as well- sounds like you are ready! :D
WOO HOO! A 3rd interview! Good luck! :D :D
Good Luck today, Kim. I'm thinking of you.
Good luck today Kim! Sounds very promising!!!!
Thanks for the last burst of wishes guys. I think I did well - the guy told me I did. I think I'd be very happy at this first place. He told me this afternoon that they will most likely make their decision next week. Ugh - a week til I hear! I need a job now! LOL
All I can do now is wait. I'm not good at waiting. Now I also feel a bit depressed because I've done all I can. I've sent out thank you notes, said what I could to represent myself, and its just a waiting game to see if either of these jobs comes forth with an offer. I don't know what I'll do if neither of them make an offer :(
Ok, you have to wait but we are sitting there with you, keeping fingers and paws crossed. :)
Good luck, Kim! I'm sure you did great in your interviews! ;)
Ack! This is KILLING me!
Company #1 said they'll make their decision after the 3rd and Company #2 said before the 1st. Today is the last business day to make that decision before the 1st? Will I hear today?
I had a nightmare last night where I dreamt that I did NOT get the first job and I kept walking around crying and praying I got the second job. I woke up before I found out if I got the job or not. But I remember distinctly reading my "evaluation sheet" where they rated me on a scale of 1-10 and I kept thinking, "What!?! A 5 for that?!" and I remember they deducted points because I declined a drink when I first got there (both companies asked if I wanted coffee or anything and both times I said I was fine). Funny things the mind conjures up while asleep.
Yes, today would be last business day for Company #2's time line. If you havent heard by end of today, close that file.Quote:

This is driving me crazy. I can handle a "no, we're looking for someone else with different (fill in the blank)" but to know they are seriously considering me and I could possibly have a job by friday.... well its overwhelming. My emotions are all over the place. One minute I'm 99% sure that I have one or the other job (or both!), the next minute my battered confidence swears I won't be offered either job.
I'm going to be out a lot this morning just so I'm away from the phone and email. If I don't leave, I'll be obsessively checking to see if either company calls or emails. Its logical that if they call at all today that it won't be til later this afternoon, after they've all had an opportunity to meet and discuss who they want to hire.
*Sigh*
Well, I am right here waiting with you!
Anything, yet, Kim?? I've been trying to keep up with this, but haven't seen anything. My fingers are crossed for you.

I know it is terribly frustrating. Just try to tell yourself, "the best things in life are worth waiting for"! ;)
