Great news! Great news!

I’ve been scouring the job-boards and Craigslist for every work option I can muster for myself…stressful, stressful, stressful. Even more stressful, is when nobody takes the time to let you know that you didn’t make the list at all, not to mention the short list (“We don’t care enough to let you know that ‘we just don’t care enough.’” – you get my point).

On top of all that, I couldn’t get just any job (I have that DJing). It had to be a job that can actually allow me to continue going to school and pay a big chunk of the bills. It was getting to a point where sitting-out for the quarter was turning into sitting-out for good. Going home would have been the next best option. Not an ideal option, but still an option.

So, finally after:

1- an initial phone interview,
2- an in-person interview with “the boss,”
3- a separate in-person interview with “the sales rep,”
4- an online Briggs-Myers personality test
5- and the submission of personal and professional references (and consequently, waiting nervously for those to be contacted)

I finally got the email saying a follow-up phone call was needed – ohhhh boyyyy. It was going to be either good news or bad news. It was like being in a race where you couldn’t see where any of the other runners were on the other tracks – eek!

It ended up being a call to say, “You’ve got the job!” – YAY!

Building I'm working in

So, this is great. It’s part-time (15-20 hrs), making it a good fit to start school again in October. It’s pretty good pay, considering it’s a part-time job. I was offered $4 more and am going to do less administrative work and more marketing work than was originally advertised! Woo hooo!

I’m going to be in an office on the 11th floor of a 12th floor building (next to the New York Time’s bureau office, but I’ve heard no one’s ever there), there’s a mall at the “Mall Level” (I’ll hold back from getting lunches there, but holding back from getting coffee ….*bite on knuckles…*) and I can ride my scooter to save on gas money.

I’m starting on Monday and will make sure to put up some pics.

Talk to you later!
