My job interview was this morning. Objectively, I think it went amazingly well. The HR recruiter and I get on fabulously, and had lots to talk about. The interview itself was around two hours long, both because she kept thinking of follow up questions to ask me, and because I would ask questions of her that would lead us into another discussion. It was a positive experience.
I'll admit I had reservations from the very beginning because the company (Hobby Lobby) is a predominantly evangelical Christian company. I worried that I wouldn't feel comfortable in that environment, but in all of our communication, I've not gotten a single vibe like that so far. We'll see how that pans out in the future, but at this point in time I think I could comfortably accept a job offer without reservations about that side of things.
I won't hear anything regarding if I've been chosen to move forward to the next level until Monday, which is rough. I understand why they have to take so much time to make a decision, and I'm thankful they are so dedicated to finding the right people for the job (my old company didn't stress that enough), but it's hard to wait. Essentially, it will be at least two weeks before a formal job offer is made to the chosen candidate.
But, at least I have dental surgery and recovery to keep my occupied and distracted until Monday. lol. I'm officially past midnight and into the fasting period before my general anasthesia in the morning. I'm going to be worthless without my morning coffee, let me tell you. I am a little bit nervous about the surgery, but at this point I'm just so tired of being in constant pain that I'm just ready. Bring it on!
Hopefully by Monday I'll be recovered enough to be able to lace up my running shoes, because that's when I'm starting the Couch to 5K. Since quitting my (very active and physical) job, I've gained about 25 pounds, which is just ridiculous and stupid, and is a product of my poor diet and laziness. So, Monday, I'm going to start running again. I need the daily "me" time, I need the exercise, and I need the mental meditation. All good things.
