Title: horribly difficult
Post by Dragnlance on Jul 28^th, 2006, 10:10pm

I cant believe this. I pass the Microsoft test, put the logo on my res, and 3 days later I get a call for an interview.

That is the good news

Well, during the interview, I get slammed all at once with a mid-range hit. No rampup, no warning, just BAM!
Luckily the interviewer was looking away when I got hit, and did not see me jerk back in my chair.
I managed to get thru the interview, (how I dont really know) and was told that he will be calling me in for a second interview next week.
I hurt enough that I am not even sure just how good the job is, but I have time to inquire later.
It is not the job I have been wanting, but it could very well be a better paying job. I just dont want to go from a job I hate to a job I wont like.

I hate when I am whiney like this.
I have something to show you guys shortly
talk later

Lance, it's OK. You get 3 whine sessions per year and then you need to renew your whine license. ;)

So what you gonna show us?? hmm?

didnt have to be, when you are trying to impress someone, grabbing your head and moaning does not really do well towards getting a job

It's OK to whine, sometimes, Lance. Sorry that happened. :( Maybe it'll still work out OK.
hugs and pf wishes, nani

Thats the whole point Jonny. It took every ounce of will power I had NOT to do just that. He did notice, because he asked if I was ok. But I made it thru the interview.

Afterwards I walked to my car, drove a block up the road where I wouldnt be seen by the employees there, and held my head until I could drive home.

Lance,

until you know more, believe in what Jonny wrote: the job is yours. :)

I am so sorry that the beast surprised like that... [smiley=hug.gif] It can be sneaky! (I recall freaking out one professor, when I got hit in the middle of a feedback discussion about my essay.)

I believe that good things are coming your way, though. :)

Best wishes,
Sanna

Not to worry you'll get the job. The hit was probably brought on from the stress of publicly admitting you have a MCSE Cert.

Even at the same pay rate, a job you "won't like" is better than a job you "hate." With the former, you can buy some time. :D

You know you hate the job you have, so it can't be any worse. I'm about to do the same thing. I am applying for a job I don't think I will like, but I hate the job I have. Maybe by the time I'm 60 I'll be happy in my job. Something to look forward to.

I'm practicing for my last job......."Fries with that sir?".or maybe ......."Welcome to Wal-Mart!"
