Job Update

I haven't heard back from that place I talked to last week, the one with the added bonus of a trip to Jamaica added to it. Since the boss-figure just started a two week vacation I do not know whether the lack of my hearing anything means that they decided it all before I left and nobody told me or that it'll be another few weeks before I hear something as there's nothing they can do while she's away in Ireland. While I don't think I got it, I would still like to hear because if you factor in a 1/2 an hour phone interview, a 2 1/12 hour interview with about another hour or so on top of that for dressing and driving over, and the two hours it took to send out five thank you notes, I feel like I should get at least something for my efforts.

Today I heard from three places-- a pretty good haul if you will. The first place I heard from told me to let me know when would be a good time for a job interview and when I replied back with my schedule, I got an email saying that the person who emailed me about the job will be out of the office for the rest of the week. So, I guess, then, he spent the hour or so that he was in the office to take care of stuff to email me and then hopped on a plane soon afterwards. Or did so while in a coffee shop at an airport.

I then heard from a recruiter about a position with a super huge, cool company for a position that I'm way too underqualified for but the recruiter said that the company always sends job descriptions that don't really reflect the actual job and that usually they send over people who meet every qualification only to hear that they were looking for something completely different and that sometimes they send over people with whom they think have no shot due to their lack of requested skills and were told that they were exactly what the company is looking for and hired. I have a feeling things like this always happen and I actually feel a little bit more sympathetic towards recruiters because if I were one, this type of shit would drive me up a fucking wall.

And finally, I heard from a temp agency wanting to know if I was still around. Funny thing about the temp agency is that I originally sent them my resume in April.

In conclusion-- maybe things are looking a bit up? Or maybe it's just some solar flair throwing everything out of whack.
