Ta-Da!!! I have a job!!

Last Friday afternoon I received a phone call asking me to come in on Tuesday for an interview at 1pm.

I had applied for the position earlier in the week...

So, yesterday I got all cleaned up, put my smiley face on and went for the interview.

When I got there they handed me an application to fill out and a test or two to take. A personality test...

ohjeez...

But, I answered their questions, did the little math test and found the mistakes in the typed communications.

I then interviewed with the Safety Director and the Human Resources Manager. We talked for at least an hour. I thanked them for their time when I left and the HR Mgr stated they would be in touch in a few days.

The phone rang this morning at 10am....and she offered me a job.

Yea! Whoopee!!! Hot Damn even!!!

I start this coming Monday. The pay isn't quite what I was making at the last job but its not a lot less - and I am told I will get a pay increase in 90 days. The hours are phenomenal - 7:30 - 4!!! I love it love it! And...........

I get to wear JEANS to work ALL THE TIME! It's very casual as I will be spending a lot of time in the plant.

So...this ole lady, after 3-1/2 months of being out of work, has a job. A steady paycheck...insurance...and hopefully - stability.

Just wanted to say congrats on the new job. It really rocks when you get a job that is so casual.

Hope it works out for the best and you stay happy there for a long time!
