“You’re Hired”

May 9, 2007 · Leave a Comment

No, this is not a posting for Donald Trump’s The Apprentice, on NBC. I got offered a position today, and start on this coming Tuesday. “We’d like to offer you the position,” has got to be the sweetest seven words any job hunter can hear.

Another Interview

May 7, 2007 · Leave a Comment

It’s been a week since I last posted. I’ve been swamped with moving and getting situated. I put all my stuff in storage and am comfortably crashing at a friend’s place. I’m going to tie this job down first, then look for an apartment in a few weeks.

I have another interview coming up in a couple of days. I did my homework on the company and I’m actually looking forward to the interview. I’ve been interviewing a lot lately, and oddly enough it’s starting be a little fun in a weird way. Because a good deal of my work experience is in marketing, I’ve started to look at these interviews as if I’m making a marketing pitch. I just so happen to be the brand or the product. Perspective changes everything, and I guess that’s why it’s starting to be fun.

The process is starting to be pretty predictable. I was web surfing and found a list of 50 common interview questions , and most of the questions I’ve been asked is on this list. I’ve also been checking out the Brazen Careerist blog, and the interviewing category has some useful resources. Another useful job hunting website is quintcareers.com. I was on this site for an hour the other night.

Well until next time. Happy hunting.
