Interview Day

Today was my first interview since February 28th.  The February 28th interview was with a recruiting agency, Office Team.  Today's interview was at 2pm with the HR Director of the Sheraton hotel for an HR Manager position I had applied for. 

I met with the HR Director, who communicated the details of the position.  She asked me a few questions, I ask her some as well.  I am one of five candidates selected from over 100 applicants.  The HR Director said she will make her decision next week, and everyone interviewed will be notified one way or the other.  Wish me luck!!  As I was pulling out of their parking lot, I noticed their landscaper must have paid a visit recently.  Their flowers were freshly planted.  It made me smile and feel that Spring is really coming.  I love Spring, it is my favorite season, when everything begins anew.  I snapped these shots quickly.

I had most of the morning to get ready.  I took my shower, made and drank a pot of coffee, and blow dryed my hair, all done by 10am, still plenty of time left.  Humm, well I suppose I could curl my hair.  I went digging in the closet for the hot rollers.  Hair rolled, I still have plenty of time.  I quickly jumped online and applied for two more positions newly posted.  I was dressed and left about 1:15.  Although the drive time is about 20 minutes, I want to be sure I have plenty of time in case of any hold ups or I get lost.  I was was starving.  I skipped breakfast and lunch, interviews make me nervous, I couldn't eat. 

While I was preparing dinner (my first meal of the day), the phone rang.  It was the HR Director from one of the companies I had applied to that morning.  She explained she received my resume and wants to interview me.  However, she's leaving next week for vacation.  She has lots to do before she leaves for her vacation.  She would like to schedule an interview the week of March 28th.  She will need the first couple of days that week to catch up from her absence and will call me to set up an interview for that week if I am available (is she kidding?).  She gave me her phone number in case she forgets to call me she said.  She asked me to call her if I didn't hear from her by Wednesday (3/30).

I'm going to look at the positive and hope this is a sign of something good headed my way, (fingers crossed, prayers said) I hope so.
