Job Interview
Had a job interview earlier this evening at a place that I would be stoked to work and would not have considered if I hadn't been fired.
I'm incredibly excited and I'm pretty sure I've got it - she said she has one more person to interview that she'd already scheduled and that she's going to do so to be fair. Which in entirely understandable.
Told me I would hear something either way by Friday.
Going to swing by there on Wednesday and drop off a thank-you card and keep my fingers crossed - although my prior employer called (that one, some of you may recall, the one that the really really bad thing happened with
) and it seems that the girl who took over my old position has gotten herself into a heap of trouble and I very much hope he's not about to try and offer that position back to me.
Perhaps this position should I be lucky enough to be hired into it can evolve into something that I've really always wanted to do but was convinced I would never be able to figure out a way to do so. Drunk me didn't really like trying to find ways around obstacles. Sober me is like hell yeah, I can totally figure out how to make this work

Thanks 
I always send a thank-you note and include a small gift referencing something that was discussed in the interview so the interviewer knows that I was listening to them. Once it was a pizza because the interviewer mentioned not having tried a certain pizza restaurant

i always look at interviews as practice. practice socializing practice interviewing a chance to meet other people and see how another company operates and just leave it at that. I either get the job or I dont but viewing it like this keeps it a positive situation for me either way.
Sorry you didnt get it but probably a reason and the next one will hopefully be better. Use this one as just a way to dust off your interviewing skills so you'll be extra sharp at the next.
I like the card / gift idea thats pretty cool. I usually try to call or send an email myself. I feel like its such a wasted effort 9 times out of 10 for me its not even acknowledged! which I find incredibly rude. But I do it anyhow because I was taught its a good thing to do ::shrug::
