I may be starting a new career soon. At first, I go to this interview and as I was sitting I was thinking that these two women are actually going to hire me. I knew they liked all my answers to their interview questions. You can just tell by their expressions. The interviewers had even mentioned that they wanted me to see human resources to negotiate my pay, but then one of those ladies abruptly taps me on the shoulder and hands me this two page questionnaire regarding the position I applied for. Shit, I nearly shit my pants. I felt my heart sink when I read the first few questions. I knew right then that I probably bombed that interview. I left that organization with my tail between my legs basically whimpering. I felt like shit that whole day. I almost could just taste it. I almost felt victory, but yet I already knew that deep down I had failed.

So, after a day or two of moping around I decided to write a thank you letter. I attempted several times that day to write that damn letter, but eventually I got through it and sent that sucker off. I basically sold my self again. Some things I mentioned was that I knew I was qualified and that I was a hard worker fast learner blah blah blah. I also mentioned that the test scores might not have been to their expectations, but that I could make up for that if they could just give me an opportunity to show them. Well, anyway, I guess that shit worked because I got a call back from the Director of the department herself and had an interview with her. She loved me and I passed that interview with flying colors. Right now all i'm waiting for is a call from human resources to negotiate my pay. The best thing about this job is that benefits start the day that I am hired. I love it!

The reason why I was looking for another job was because a situation happened at work and it involved a close coworker/friend. She got offered another position at another company. She would have gotten paid WAY more than she is now, but things happened and basically she got fucked over. Our boss didn't want her to leave, so she tells her that she would match the pay that the other company was offering her and so she stayed. And to make it worse she called the other company that wanted to hire her and told them that she wanted to stay, so they offered her a dollar more to their offer and she still said no. The next day our boss calls her into the office and tells her that she can't have the pay that our boss said she was going to match. Her reasoning was because she didn't go through the proper channels for approval so the request was denied. Boo hoo, BULLSHIT! Anyway, in the end she called the other company back to see if the position was still available and she finds out that it was filled. Totally fucked up situation. I was sort of in the middle of it. I feel so bad and so mad at the same time that I no longer can stand coming to work at the so-called organization that I'm working for. I have no opportunities there so I'm getting the fuck out.

So, like I have another interview scheduled this Thursday again. I know I'm hired at this other organizaton right now, but I'm just curious to see how much this other company wants to pay me if I were to get hired. I'm keeping my options open right now. I'm not getting any younger so i'm looking for a company I can grow old and retire with.
