The search continues...

I was doing pretty good there with blogging for oh, about 2 days. Sorry peeps, this girl is busy! I spend a lot of time on the computer, but it is usually looking for jobs and then spending subsequent hours changing up the cover letter and resume and submitting applications.

I think last I left off I was about to embark on my second interview in my career search. Well that interview happened last week, and let me tell you, as far as I am concerned I did really well! I was cruising along, answering all the questions and demonstrating my superior oral communication skills and I felt like we would have been doing high fives after every question if I was there in person... it would have been like family feud, with them shouting "good answer, good answer" while we slap hands up top. That was up until the very end of the conversation where they said they were looking for someone to start at the end of March. Que the sad trombone! From the moment I said I couldn't start until May, I could hear the complete transformation in the tone of one of the interviewers voices. It was a little devastating to say the least. Then to top it off I sent my thank you cards out to them with a spelling error! Yep, made the same error on all three cards and didn't bother to double check the spelling of a word I will not mention (for sheer embarrassment) until after I put the suckers in the mail! If only there was a way to stop mail. I still haven't heard back, they said it would be a couple of weeks, but I am guessing I will get an e-mail sometime soon saying "we've decided to go with a more qualified candidate, one who can start when we want them to and spell correctly too!" I guess I shouldn't totally discount myself yet, but at least I had the experience of a great interview and now feel like I can dominate all interviews! Speaking of interview domination, I have another interview next week and guess where it is???? Arizona! Hahaha... I am telling you, I send out my resume for jobs in Cali, DC, Boston, Baltimore and get nothin. Arizona loves me! But, back to the interview, it is for a job in AZ and even though I will be in AZ next week, they are only doing phone interviews! Wish me luck, I say this about every job I apply for, but I really want this job!
