The phone interview went well. I talked to the HR lady for a bit and then the person who would be my supervisor. The HR lady only stayed on the line for a bit and then the other guy talked with me for a while. Honestly, he more talked at me for most of the conversation. I was told candidates who made it to the next interview would be contacted at a later date and for me it would be a Skype interview.
They called me early last week and scheduled my Skype interview for that Friday. I was getting pretty nervous, but the interview went really, really well. The first part was with the HR lady, then the supervisor, and then the supervisor and vice president of the company. The HR lady is actually from Ohio and we got on amazingly. Lots of laughing. Things went well with the supervisor and VP, too. VP is probably the weakest link of the three, but I think I did pretty well with him and got him to laugh a few times. It ended with them telling me that I’d hear something this week.
So far I haven’t heard a thing. At this point I’m sure I’d hear something back either way. With tomorrow being Friday I’m hoping I’ll at least get some kind of update. I’m not even sure at this point if there’s another interview or if they’re making their decision. They were kind of vague about that.
Assuming the money is right, I think I’m going to do it. I’ve figured if I commute in I can take it for $50,000. I couldn’t do much lower and I’d like to try for a little higher. Aside from getting my masters, I feel like I’ve kind of wasted most of the last decade of my life. I’m ready to try to start again somewhere new.
I’d feel a little guilty leaving my grandparents. They’re getting older and my grandpa doesn’t fly, so it’d purely be me coming into town to see them. I try to go to dinner over there once a week now and we’re very close. It’d be hard leaving them, but I realize I can’t live my life for someone else.
My current job is getting increasingly stressful. I have a to-do list of literally 90 items that I’m trying to work through. My workload had quadrupled since I started there. I just got my yearly review and I got a positive review and a raise, but it was only thirty cents. The highest they give is 2%. Am I still at fucking McDonald’s?
Now it’s just a waiting game.
