I applied for a job that is right next door to my current job, I mean in the same building. The girl just came over and told me to come over for an interview. Its casual friday IM IN FLIP FLOPS AND A TANK TOP! I want that job so bad too it would be a HUGE increase in pay with benefits. Im freaking out!! So I get off in 7 mins and am supposed to go for an interview. Please pray for me!!

 

[raebates]

[quiverfull7]

[Kathytnt]

[jenniferknapp]

How awesome - that is exciting!! Good luck and when you first walk in, just make little joke about it being casual friday!!

 

[chefkristin]

LOL!! That happened to me before.

 

[dannyzmom]

gOOD LUCK - WHEN WILL WE HEAR IF YOU GOT THE JOB?!?

 

[jenniferknapp]

If they are as spontaneous in offering a job as they are as asking for an interview....she might know right away!!!

 

[PampMomof3]

Good Luck!!!

 

[tlennhoff]

I once landed a job right across the hall from my old job. It was a little weird for awhile, but no worse than my ex marrying the guy next door.

 

[MomToEli]

Really, KG, I think the ex thing is weirder

Or is that more weird?

Either way, have you ever noticed how weird the word weird looks when you type it? Or is it wierd? No ... I don't think so ....

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

It's worse if you're wired.

 

[MomToEli]

Now that could be a shocking experience ...

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Or enlightening.

 

[raebates]

You guys gave me a real jolt!

 

[yummybytes]

What a charge! You all just brighten my day!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I'm starting this again - sort of revolting.

 

[janetupnorth]

So, what about the job?????








...and I am just shocked that KG would hijack another thread...well, not really...by the way KG, I waved as I passed by your area over the weekend (both times).

 

[Teresa Lynn]

I had to read KG post twice, then realized it was KG who posted it!!
and the ex wasn't someone's husband. Hey! it's Monday and my mom and inlaws have left after spending NINE days here!! I'm still a little frazzled

 

[Miss Cori]

I havent heard anything about the job yet, I hope to hear something soon. It would be too cool if I got it though! I will let you all know as soon as I find out anything.

 

[raebates]

We'll be watching for your big announcement.

 

[Miss Cori]

I GOT THE JOB!!! oh yeah I am so excited, They walked over and told me while the rest of my office was at lunch!! They want me to start tomorrow, but I know, I will have to give at least a week if not more than that! Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Great! Congratulations! http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/party0009.gif

 

[Miss Cori]

Actually, I had a pair of closed toed shoes in my car luckily, I changed before I went and wore a sweat shirt over my tank top. Still not proper interview attire but it worked I guess!

 

[quiverfull7]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! It was flip flops and a tank top right????
That is AWESOME!

 

[quiverfull7]

Oh... I posted that while you were too! I hope you can begin your new job right away!

 

[MomToEli]

Excellent! And it was a hiring of convenience. Saved them postage AND phone calls

Hope you like the new job. Do you get to dress casual?

 

[AJPratt]

Just goes to show you that sometimes it really IS the talent that matters!

 

[Miss Cori]

Hope you like the new job. Do you get to dress casual?

Not as casual as the interview I can wear jeans on the weekends but weekdays I have to dress professional

 

[janetupnorth]

Congratulations - I hope you enjoy it...and yes, do give a "proper" notice. It will be good for you in the future.

By the way, can I be nosy and ask where you were working and what you will be doing now? (You don't have to answer...)

 

[Miss Cori]

I will be working at Direct Tv just making pre calls which are calls to the customer to tell them that they are # whatever on a list of # whatever when they are having a techinician out to their house. I think it sounds pretty easy. They said it is just a trial and error thing they have never done it before, but if it doesnt work out I would probably dispatch to the technicians. (If that makes sense)

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Glad you got the gig!

 

[chefann]

Congrats!

 

[tlennhoff]

Congrats on the new job. So will you get discounts on service and a DVR?

 

[rebeccastt]

Congratulations Cori! Way to go!

 

[Miss Cori]

Thank you all so much. I gave my notice today, and my boss was SOO nice about it. I couldnt believe it. She told me I didnt have to stay the full 2 weeks she said she would tell me like she tells her own children ,"once you are gone, it doesnt matter what you did here you will have a fresh start" so she said my last day could be friday. I thought that was so nice. It makes it kinda hard to quit when your boss is really nice. But she wished me luck and said to come visit.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I was just trying to think of any of my old bosses that said "come visit" (there aren't many) and how many of those places I can't go visit because they're out of business - reinforces my decision to leave, I suppose.
