I have a second interview scheduled for Friday, April 6th.
This is for the company that gave me a first interview back in mid-October.
I guess I just figured they’d either filled the position by now or decided not to create it after all.
I’ll try not to read too much symbolism in the interview being scheduled on Good Friday. Nor will I make any punny jokes about it resurrecting my career.
Congratulations. And good luck.
If it goes badly…
… you can say they flogged you pretty good.
… or that you were crucified.
… or if they choose someone else less qualified, you can say, “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
But none of those will be necessary, because I’m sure you’ll ‘nail’ the interview.
Seriously, best of luck, sure you’ll do well.
Thank you, nm.
Lee, you’re killing me. And it’s making me really cross.
Good luck, my friend!
Woohoo! Good luck (I’ll refrain from the puns because Lee did such a good job). I know you’ll knock ‘em dead.
Good luck, KC. Will keep you in prayers and fingers crossed, and send good thoughts and karma your way.
I had no idea you were looking for work. What does this tell you about this organization? Either, A, they filled the position, and that person already left, or B, they are woefully slow in this process, how will the rest of their processes work?
Vandy is like that. By the time they getting around to making up their mind, the top candidate has secured other work. Weird.
Good luck. (now that I’ve filled your head with doubt)
fingers crossed for you!
Mack, they might just have a fiscal year that ends March 31 or April 15, and they had to wait to see whether they could afford to fill the position. That was my first thought. And it tells you that money is tight there, but not that they are always slow about things.
Thanks, all.
Mack, to be honest I wasn’t looking for work. This job just kinda found me through a blogging friend and has now found me again.
The company is in a rapid-growth mode. (Trust me, they’ve got money and plenty of it….) I gather that a lot of the issue has been a struggle between various parties about the necessity of the position.
It’s a Traffic Manager job, which is sort of the equivalent of having a human alarm clock to keep your staff on deadline. It’s a position no company likes to impose upon their loyal staff, but when you grow as rapidly as they have it needs to happen.
I’d be creating and implementing processes and process guidelines. It’s the kind of thing I love doing. (I love it when a plan comes together.)
But I’ve gathered that there were key resistors to the project who are now on board as they’ve had 150 more days of growth. They’ve also got a HUGE new product in the pipeline, set to hit market in June.
There’s a part of me that thinks they’ve realised they need help. And they need it fast.
NM, good point.
Kat, go get em! I can’t wait to tax a little of that income.;)
Clearly you have not seen my paychecks. Change “little” to “a lot” and you’re on to something.
You socialist brigand.
Good luck! You would be great at that position.
I will get you a dry erase wall calendar, black patent stilletto boots and a riding crop. You could still wear the pearls just to lull them into a warm and fuzzy feeling.
I think you will be the Traffic Commissar. Al es klar?
Signed,
The Deadline Queen.
Good luck!
A 7 month waiting period between interviews is a bit extreme. I’d given up on getting the job I now have when they didn’t call me back for a month and a half.
