Jobhunt 2008: The Interviewenings
Apr. 1st, 2008 08:45 amTwo face-to-face interviews today & a phone interview.
Holy crap things are moving faster than I expected. I might really, truly, actually meet my goal of being employed elsewhere by my birthday.
Holy crap.
EDIT: Okay, so the first interview went well; I have a working interview set up for next week. :-D
The duties look a bit lighter than what I'm used to, but there's room for advancement. Also, the pay rate is higher than what I'm getting now, by several dollars. Even taking into account the fact that I'm getting 6-10 overtime per pay period now and wouldn't with this company, I should make the same or more than I do currently. Plus, no evenings or weekends!
BRIDE OF EDIT: The second interview was okay, but I'm not sure that I'd be comfortable working there. The clinic manager seems very anal-retentive and flat out said that she would/does send people home if the clinic is slow. While I understand her position, I want a 40-hour a week job, not one where I can be arbitrarily sent home resulting in as few as 32 hours per week (and yes, she tossed out that number in passing). Especially since the potential pay rate, while nice, would just be enough to compensate for not earning overtime any more.
Plus, it looked/sounded like I was only the first or second of about 20 people she's interviewing and she's not making a final decision until upwards of a month from now.
I didn't turn it down, but it's definitely not first choice.
SON OF BRIDE OF EDIT: And the phone interview was less an interview and more a scheduling of a face-to-face for tomorrow afternoon, after work @ my current place. Here's hoping!
