What a difference a week makes

What a week! It’s only Friday but it’s been a very busy and pretty fun week. I am enjoying my temp job and they offered to keep me on as long as I want. They’re really nice and honestly it’s a huge ego boost because they keep telling me how great I am doing. I'm calling to sell memberships to this organization and no one has signed up yet except for the guy I called who it turns out has known my husband's grandfather since the two of them were teenagers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I need the money I can hopefully make in commission. I’ve settled on a schedule that I’ll work 15-20 hours a week as long as I want and they will work with my schedule and things that come up.

I had a phone interview on Thursday with a job here in town that I applied for only two weeks ago. I was really nervous but I’m good on the phone and I actually like interviewing and trying to get people to like me – it’s the middle child in me. The more I heard about the job, the more interested I became. it's a very different company and position than I have ever had and that sounds really exciting to me. The good news is – I’ve got an in-person interview next Wednesday! I have been able to avoid planning out my future there too…just get through the next phase. Enjoy the process to quote my friend Cathy.

Today I had a phone interview with a company I absolutely love for another job. This is my second interview with them. OK so for the hour before the guy called me I paced all over the house, mopped the kitchen, and played five video games on my phone. The hour arrived and in the two minutes between when the clock said 10:00 am and he called I was convinced he wouldn’t call at all. Once we started talking, it all went well. Although have you noticed that it's only when you're in the middle of something like that do you catch a mistake in spelling on your resume or you say something stupid and you dwell on that for about an hour! I think it went well too and he did ask me to meet with him in person next week too.

Exciting stuff but I’m exhausted…I’ve been “on” all week! As for now, I’ve applied for two jobs this week, interviewed for two and went to that fateful job fair. Job-seeking girl is checking out for the afternoon. I might be a working girl soon…off to the gym at 3:00 in the afternoon – might not be able to do that much longer.

Have a great weekend!
