The job hunt continues...

“All a girl needs to get a date…is another date!”
Apparently Ms. Carrie Bradshaw was really talking about job interviews. When we first moved here I couldn’t score and interview if my life depended on it. 2 years later I’ve got them coming out my ears! In the past 3 weeks, I’ve had 4 interviews (including 1 actually on New Year’s Day). I’ve got one more scheduled for this week, plus a possible lead on another!
Granted, all these interviews are great, but none have led to more. Frustrating? I think so!
Job #1 went to some with 15+ year’s experience. Can’t fight that. Job #2 wanted me to be available around the clock, but also wanted me to start part-time/seasonal, and they wouldn’t even discuss salary options. Since I need job security, they rejected me. Job #3 I didn’t end up wanting after the interview as they were only offering me $2,500 (yes, you read right, twenty five hundred) more per year than I make now, and it reeked of telemarketing. No thanks! Job #4 is actually still in play as the first steps were a phone interview and assessment test (I aced both). Now I’m waiting for the phone call to set up a face-to-face. I really want Job #4. However it could be a week before I hear anything and I still have the interview for Job #5 on Friday. (I’m afraid it may be on-the-spot hiring as it’s for a new company opening).
I mean, Job #5 might not even meet my salary requirements or may want to do part time only. But it could also be great.
I guess it’s just a waiting game…
…I suck at waiting.
