All good things....

...must come to an end. And this Blog is ending as of this post because I GOT EMPLOYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started Aug 14th in the position. Ok... I admit that I might have given up too quickly. Just my nature to expect the worst so I can be prepared for it. And like I said, things worked out the total opposite this time... the interviews that I felt the worst about are the ones I did the best in. Go figure.
So now I guess the next blog will be Adventures in New Employment.

Later.

I think its safe to throw in the towel

Well, it is fifteen minutes until five, and no one from WaCA has called. My guess is that "they decided to go with another candidate." It's ok... like I said, I wasn't expecting the call to come, so I'm not disappointed.

Back to the searching.
Back to the want ads.
Back to the temp agencies.
Back to wondering if I'm going to make my rent.
Back to where I never left...

Unemployed.

And the winner is....

Well, Friday is here. Today I find out if I get the job or not. I did feel a little excitement flare up in me, but it was quickly extinguished by a bucket of logical thinking. I just can't get hopeful only to have my hopes dashed to bits on the sharp rocks of rejection, so I will just wait... Wait and see if I get a call or not, and carry on my day like I'm not expecting anything.










...here's to hoping...

Ever get the feeling...

... that you totally blew it? Yeah, I had that feeling today at the second interview for the customer service position. I just don't think that I gave the answers that they were looking for, as there were role-playing scenarios with the interviewers playing customers calling in with problems.
I really don't think I exuded confidence either, but it gets difficult to do when you interviewers start telling you, ".. what we were more looking for in your answer was..." That's not verbatim, but you get the idea.
I think that maybe I was just too thorough... over thinking the problem? I don't know. I was given the very cordial, "You will hear from HR by Friday, should we decide to go forward." OK... right. Sorry for the lack of hope, but that's how it's been for me lately.
This whole situation is getting to me. I've put myself out of the running, and its not even Thursday yet. I think I'll wait until at least Friday night before giving up hope.
