OT - Pixie Dust Request - UPDATED - Post #18

[JandJ]

I applied for a job at the place I currently volunteer. I really want this job - it would be new for me but I can use my previous experience; I already volunteer there so I know the people; it's only 10 minutes from home; it's right across the street from my gym; I am truly committed to this cause (it's a non-profit). I had an interview on Tuesday with the supervisor. We met for over an hour and went over everything. I thought it went well. Today I had a second interview with her 2 bosses. It was short! I mean like 20 minutes short! They did say that the supervisor really liked me and I have 3 other recommendations from people I volunteer with. I'm trying not to read too much into the briefness of the interview. They asked if I was available to start right away and said they're hoping to have the job start the second week of February. They also said I was their first interview and they have others scheduled next week. DH says it's all good and not to stress about it, but I'm super anxious about this because I really want the job and haven't interviewed in so long (haven't worked full-time since 2007!).

Any Pixie Dust would be greatly appreciated!

Don't stress it. Short is good, that means they didn't need a lot of info from you because they got it from other sources.
Are they flexible with the baby stuff that's going on??

Lots of good thoughts and pixie dust heading your way. It sounds like both interviews were good. I hope you hear good news soon!!!!!

Tons of PD for you, Jennifer!! I truly hope you get the job. Though if you start the second week of Feb that means we won't be able to see when when I come down.

Keep us posted. I have a good feeling on this one! How could they not love you?

Aawww, thank you all so much! You've made me feel more relaxed! I wrote my thank you notes this morning. The manager is going on vacation in the next couple of weeks so I just have to be patient and hope I hear good news in February. I'll keep y'all posted!

Buffy - I didn't bring up the adoption, and legally they can't ask. I don't know how much they know because, while I obviously talk about it during my volunteering, I don't currently work directly with this department. I'm taking a "cross that bridge when I get there" approach.

Lisa - Will you be staying over on a Sat. or Sun? We can still come over on a weekend or a Friday night!

PO3 - You're absolutely right - positive energy out and positive things will come back!

Thanks again for all the Pixie Dust - I feel better knowing I have so many cheerleaders

We are flying down late on the 14th and leaving early on the 20th. As of this afternoon, I think DH is driving down with his buddy to go to Daytona, DD and I are still planning on flying down.

Rebecca may be coming up Tuesday. My loose plans are doing MK that day.

coming your way, Jennifer!
It's it's meant to be, it will work out!

I got the call this morning . . . I got the job!!



Have to do all the paperwork and background check and then I'll start in 2 weeks! Being a non-profit the pay is far from great (very far!) but that's not the main reason I applied. I LOVE this organization and I know having a full-time job will keep my mind off obsessing about the adoption.

Thank you all for all the P&PD!! I think it definitely helped

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Congratulations!!!!!!!

 

[PinballFamily]

That's just terrific! Congrats!!!

I used to be the CEO/Executive Director of a non-profit organization. It was tough not being able to pay good folks a lot, since that is the nature of that beast, but I tried to make up for it with a great work environment. We had VERY little turnover and I was blessed with a terrific, hardworking, and dedicated staff.

So glad things are working out!
