And they say, No job for me yet. Apparently even though they feel, based on my salary requirements, that the position is "too entry level" for me, I don't have enough benefit experience to merit hiring me. Classic HR circlespeak. Apparently they missed the part where I all but told them I'd take a pay cut to get my foot in the door of the ( Read more... )

I realized after receiving an email on the subject that I had not followed through on my promise to let everyone know on Thursday how my first interview went. When I left the place, I thought I had blown it. First, I kind of got thrown for a small loop when the interview questions weren't the standard, "Tell us about a co-worker you didn't get ( Read more... )

I'm looking forward to seeing what the local supermarkets have in the way of "not- ( Read more... )

Wow, it's really been a while since I've posted something. Yeesh. But then, there's not too much I've done. If I've seemed anti-social, I apologize. Not much to report on.
