Quest for the Holy Grail...

Work Life...

The past several months I have intensively looking for new employment. It has seemed like an endless stream of job postings, phone screens, pre screens, phone interviews, meetings and face-to-face interviews. (big sigh here...) This evening, I had, what I thought was, another, in a long line of phone interviews. (insert another big sigh here too) Well, let me just say that this was the best phone interview yet! I'm actually excited about this company and the possibility of working there.

As anyone knows, when looking for a job in "the corporate world," it's really not what's on your resume and what past experience you have had, it's really about whether the company likes you and your personality. They know basically any idiot can do the job and they wouldn't have called you if they didn't think you could do the job. They need people to mesh well with their company environment. I actually felt on this phone interview that they were trying to convince me to picture myself in the position. Usually, it's the other way around, you trying to have them picture you in the position.

Needless to say, I am having a dinner interview with this recruiter sometime next week and I am very excited at the opportunity to meet her and learn more about the company. I don't want to jinx myself so I will stop right here.
