Getting closer to the finish line....

finish line

Boy has this been an eventful day.... After blogging last week, it took only a day after to get that call from the company that I have been trying to get into all this time.... I was called in for a second interview today. It was a "formality" according to them because they had already interviewed me and they had to have on file that they interviewed me after the job had been actually posted. So far so good. I spoke with both Senior Managers again... and each of them let me know that I was the top candidate for the position. One of them even went as far as to read off to me some of his prior interview notes- he wrote that I was knowledgeable and definitely qualified to do the job. He also told me that my experience was more than their current crop of trainees. This is all good news for me. He also elaborated that he was not allowed to discuss compensation (STILL???) and that he was going to recommend me to be hired. So all that is left is for the VP to sign off on that, and for HR to send the official offer in the mail. I found that to be pretty bizarre, but according to my father in law, it's done that way in some companies...but they usually extend the offer over the phone and then follow up with a letter. The interview ended on a positive note, and he said that he hopes to be speaking to me very soon. I have a very good feeling about this...I am fairly certain that I will get the job. Now I hope that it's good pay and all that...however, I will be taking it regardless because my severance is up this month....

Anyway.... that's it and that's all for now... Wish me luck!!!!!
