Wish Me Luck....
« on: August 27, 2018, 01:41:02 pm »
So I just wanted to give an update on the whole job thing.

So I did have an appointment last week with my old temp agency and they said they are going to put my name into a job, so I'm waiting to here about that. I also applied for 4 positions with one company over the weekend. I temped there before and I loved it, but I'm not cut out for sales, so I applied for non-sales positions. I even took a leap and applied for both a training and a quality assurance job. I am qualified for both and it definitely would be a step up from what I'm doing now. So now I'm just waiting to hear back. Also, all positions are full-time!!

So keep your fingers crossed for me please!

Good luck on the job front!

I'm back to being in a similar boat. Things have been super busy the past few weeks (thus my lack of activity), but my wife and I have decided that we need to make some changes for our own financial/personal/mental stress/whatever wellness.

Which includes a potential move and job change.

Hang in there and stay strong. Keep us updated!

So I talked to my temp agency yesterday, I should have an interview at the end of next week for that job and I'm still waiting to hear back from the other place. I just applied Sunday, but I just want to hear something! Ha ha! Email me NOW!  :lol:

Boo, please keep us posted!

Thank you everyone! I'm hoping to have something around October at the latest.

I know this is the best thing for me. I'm so sick of being stressed about everything work related!

Sorry for the double post, but I had to let you guys know that I have an interview on Monday for a quality assurance position. Please send positive energy, prayers, whatever your thing is because I would love this job. It would be a big step forward for me. I also have an interview on Thursday but that job is kind of a last resort for me, I would much prefer the job I'm interviewing for Monday.

Thanks everyone!! :D

Thank you! I'm so excited and nervous. I actually googled the average for the pay for that job around my area; the lowest would be well over double what I make now. So I have my fingers crossed! I actually interview very well, I can count on one hand how many times I've interviewed and not gotten the job. Still, I don't want to be overconfident! For the first time ever, I'm excited for Monday. LOL

I will definitely keep you guys posted!

UPDATE!

The interview went extremely well. They had me do their testing right away and tomorrow morning I have to go sign paperwork for my background check. I think I have it, but I'm not counting it until I get an offer!

I also ran into my old supervisor there and he said he'd put in a good word for me. He's really awesome and I always liked him; I seriously wanted to hug him. Ha ha! He told me he was happy to see me trying for a non-sales position there; it made me so happy to hear that.

So I'm hoping I find out for sure tomorrow. Oh and one of the best things about this job: I WON'T BE ON THE PHONE! YAY!!!  :D

Glad to hear things are looking up! Good luck! Sounds like as long as you havent done anything terribly bad to mess up your background check, you've got this one in the bag!

It sounds like I will finally know for sure tomorrow. Because I temped there it held up things another day, my temp agency had to "release" me, or something. Anyway, that is done and I should know tomorrow. It's looking pretty positive, I think I have it.

However, if for some reason I don't get it, I got offered a position at another company. I applied through the temp agency, but they make you permanent in 90 days so I'm not even worried about that part of it.

I just wanted to keep you guys posted!

Arrrrgh!!!!

Ok so the temp thing was lifted or whatever, it's not a problem. HOWEVER, the person who actually makes the offer is the recruiter and she is on vacation until the 17th! So I won't know for sure until the 17th and if they tell me yes they will want me to start on the 18th. I already talked to my current supervisor and let him know what's going on. He's very cool and definitely understands. He actually told me due to people's hours being cut, he's gotten 4 notices the last 2 weeks. Mine is the 5th. I have to wait 10 days to know for sure. 10 DAYS! It's ok, I'll get through it but AAAARGH!!!  :o

That recruiter has a badly timed vacation. :(
