Members Super_Donut_Man Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have had 2 job interviews this month (just felt I needed to move on from my current job). The first one I admit, I blew, they said I didn't seem confident enough in myself to be able to jump in and get things done. The next interview I got screwed. The lady asked how many accounts I handled. Her use of Account was vague, so I asked her to specify, she said bank accounts, so I replied 14. I got feedback from them, and they said that I did not have enough experience with G/L accounts, and that they were looking for somebody that has experince with 100+ g/l accounts, and that 14 was not what they were expecting.... Thing is I handle 150+ g/l accounts for 7 different restaurants, and as a corporate accountant I hadled over 400 accounts. They just screwed up the terminology, and I lost a great oportunity for a higher paying better job. Guess it wasn't meant to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damned headache isn't helping either... I've had days like that, though not that much sleep in that short a period. Still, I think I'll skip the headaches. The coughing and chest congestion is enough for me right now On a plus note, I got much better sleep last night I've also got my antibiotics which will start helping things out as well. Now to try and get to bed a bit earlier than last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrcrow Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 Summer has come in, Loudly sing, Cuckoo! The seed grows and the meadow blooms And the wood springs anew, Sing, Cuckoo! The ewe bleats after the lamb The cow lows after the calf. The bullock stirs, the stag farts,* Merrily sing, Cuckoo! Cuckoo, cuckoo, well you sing, cuckoo; Don't you ever stop now, Sing cuckoo now. Sing, Cuckoo. Sing Cuckoo. Sing cuckoo now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had five interviews and had to take one test over the past six weeks, all for the same position. They keep telling me I'm a strong candidate, and now it's down to myself and two other people, but then they just told me last week that they might not have a decision made until the new year. That's six more weeks of waiting after jumping through all of those hoops! Publishing is {censored}ing ridiculous. Sadly, it's also all I know.

Best of luck I've actually had positions like that. You interview, interview again, give up, then get a call out of the blue that you got the position. They can sometimes take quite a while.

It was needed, too. Last I heard on the way to work, the fire areas were doing okay and had no mudslide issues. This storm is almost done, most likely, so we'll get a day or two of recovery before another storm from what they're saying. I just hope the fire areas do well this weekend as well.
