Interview went well

So I got in there early (I like to arrive 10 minutes early) and they took me right in. After all the chatting and discussing of the job and the duties all I could think was my god it is like they took everything I like to do and turned it into my dream job. I mean seriously the job sounds awsome. Everything they want I can do. Everything they needed I was trained in. It was like a neon sign blinked Jody's Job Jody's job.
Now we can only hope the other 9 people in the first round of interviews suck and they call me back for a second interview within the next two weeks.

Yes they are interviewing a minimum of 10 people in the first round. Sigh

I will be bummed if I don't at least get a second interview lol

Today is my interview

This morning I got a call from the place I am interviewing at to verify my interview and probably completely blew it but I told her I had to admit something completely embarrassing and that I looked everywhere and couldn't find the ad.

So she sent it to me. ummm... WTF was I thinking. I don't have quite a bit of these skills.
Office manager/ Bookkeeper needed for small office in Morgan Hill.
Ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of bookkeeping & customer service experience. Requires the skill to multi-task, prioritize and work independently. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are a must. Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office applications and Quickbooks are necessary. Intermediate level IT skills helpful for managing computer hardware & software including high end printers and networked environment. Must be fast learner with the ability to handle all aspects of office management from clerical /receptionist duties to Accounts Payable and Receivables including supporting Company Executives with project based work with minimal direction or supervision.
Pay depending on experience, no benefits available at this time.
Ok so I have a bit of the stuff. Just no IT and very light quickbooks. When I say I have no IT I mean it. I can plug something in and maybe add software to it but that is the extent of my IT knowledge LOL. Quickbooks I have used maybe twice in my life. It is a fairly easy system that I know I could learn incredibly quickly but still. WTF was I thinking!!
But at least I am not going in blind anymore!
And hopefully they won't mind that I had to ask what the job was. Everything else is cake. I can do it.
So instead of being nervous that I don't have any idea what I am going to an interview for I am nervous about the lack of skills I have for two portions of the job.
Anywhooooo I go today at 4pm. Wish me luck.....

Interview on Monday

First off... WOOT!!!!


I am super excited that I finally have a interview. After setting up the time (four), getting the company name and phone number we got off the phone.

Now the problem.....
She told me that I sent her my resume from Craigslist. Which is fine I have sent what seems like millions... but there in lies the problem.
I have sent in a million. I looked all over craigslist for the one ad it could have been. I can't find it.

That means I have no idea what I applied for. I have no idea if it is part time or full time. I have no idea what the hell I am going to be doing. I have to go to this interview fully blind.

ACK!!!!!!!


I am having a bit of panic over this.
I hope I can pull this off. I don't know how long ago I sent in the resume. Was it days? Weeks? a month ago?
Obviously I must have the skills they are looking for but my skills are so wide and varied that that doesn't give me a single clue as to what the job is for.
ACK ACK ACK!!!!

Deep breath..... whew....


Anywhoooooo...I have to go put up some tombstones outside :)

Little nervous here

It feels like ages since I had to go to an interview. So here I am dressed for it 2 hours before. Getting ready to put on my make up and do my hair.
I can rock this interview. I know my stuff. It is just there is that big unknown. What is the salary and what are the hours?
I don't want to waste my time and his time. (Going anyway lol)
I can't work less then 24 hours at a fairly good salary.
See, got myself all worked up over something I don't know. I hate that about myself.

Ok... gotta finish getting ready.

*deep breath

Interview on Wednesday

FINALLY another interview. I go on Wednesday at noon. I am confident that I have the skills needed for the job. The only issue is it is part time. I need to find out what hours and the pay scale to see if I would even be able to afford to take the job.
I need enough to pay my bills and my cobra. If it doesn't cover that I can't accept the job if offered.
I want to work more then 24 hours. I can't take a 8 hour a week job it just wouldn't be worth it.
So cross your fingers that I ace the interview and that it fits my needs!

Today I went on a interview

Today I drove off to an interview in a fancy new shirt not knowing if I actually wanted the job or not. But knowing that I needed a job in this economy and willing to take it if offered. Even if the money sucks.

So I arrived and looked around the super quiet office as I waited for the interview to start. I was shown around the warehouse and the office site and placed in a room to wait for the interviewer. It was a great interview. At least I thought it was. I was told that there were 3 other interviews and they would let me know either tomorrow or Monday if I got the job. I asked if at all possible they could let me know either way. Yes or no.


I just got a phone call.........

The answer is no. Sigh

I wish I knew what you were thinking

Have you ever looked at your animal and wondered what the heck was going on in there mind?

I swear my lab barks at anything. I would love to just look at her and ask..."Magpie what in the hell are you barking at? Seriously dude you are staring at a wall and barking. Or a bush that had been in the yard since you have lived her. Or a bug. Please SHUT UP!!"

Bird the German shorthair is just as odd. I would love to ask her a few things too.
"WHY, must you run as fast as you can out into the backyard only to start creeping like you are stalking something? Why can you not look at me directly if you stand on my knees for attention? Why do you run around the yard whining? But you only whine if someone comes outside?"

To the white cat:
"Ok I like sleeping with you but why can't you walk up the side of my bed instead of using me as a walkway? It is really hard to sleep when something walks across your head. And why must you meow the entire time you are walking on me?"

To the grey cat:
"Can you please explain to me why you pick certain days to not use the litterbox? Why you crap on the bathroom rug instead? Or the dog bed? You go in the litter box every other time."


On the job front: Got to get ready for my interview now. Talk to everyone later.
