Way to go! I hope the new job brings you a lot of wonderful new challenges and much professional growth.

[identity profile] waterspyder.livejournal.com 2007-03-06 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
That is precisely what I'm looking for, and the job seems to be a good fit. I'll see what the gap between theory and practice is on Monday.

A new job.

Yay! Good for you! No more sandwich between the patio doors phonecalls

I hope not, but they'll be paying me enough to handle those calls with a giddy grin.

Obviously the interview went well.

Congratulations!

I was almost dead positive by the time I left the interview. The last half of the interview, the two women were verbally exploring how my skills would fit in with the team, and indicating that I had some skills that would correct some of the shortfalls they had encountered so far. People don't usually do that if you're striking out.

I also consented to being exploited. That might have helped.

Exploited? In what way? I tend to think of this as having a negative connotation, so for you to be ok with it must mean there is a good side to what they have proposed.

[identity profile] waterspyder.livejournal.com 2007-03-07 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
They meant that they plan to use the skills I already have to their benefit, even though it's not part of the job roles and responsibilities.

I prefer organizations that take the time to examine the skills of their employees and shift what people do based on who likes doing the task, and who is competent to perform the task, rather than what the job description reads.

Woot and conga-rats. :) Indefinite or term?

[identity profile] waterspyder.livejournal.com 2007-03-06 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Contractor leading to term. Indefinite will likely come into play in another department in April-July.

Indefinite is my ultimate goal in all of this.
