So in august I lost/quit/left/was fired from the job with the rental car company which I had got right out of college. Then I got sick, then I was getting better, but I kept getting colds, then the holidays happened, I finely got around to job hunting middle of Jan'. At which point the market's suckieness was really hitting me hard.
A couple weeks into that, so I want to say mid feb I got an invitation to apply for a job, which I duely sent my paperwork along for, then a couple weeks later I heard back from a nice guy who is more or less a headhunter/third party guy named Glen. He was super nice and helped me through applying with a company that builds oil wells. The job was working as a mechanic in a local shop on the drills.
The technology was ubber cool. I go in for a group interview, which I got invited to two days before the event, so that was a little off putting like I was an after thought to be invited, plus I got lost on the way and was supper flusted that being said I thought the interview went great. The shop it lovely and the technology they are working with looks totally awesome I felt like a kid in a candy store poking around and looking at everying and asking questions, even better though they let us touch stuff, sigh what joy is mine.
Then I start playing the waiting game... Three weeks pass. I'm getting to the point of saying ok what ever. In the mean time I keep interviewing for other things, stuff that isn't as good, and I don't want quit as much. The idea of this job still in the back of my head.
Finally, three weeks later I get a call back for a second interview.
This second interview I feel great about, I felt like I asked some good questions and made a friendly intelligent impression.
Well then I'm waiting again. I get to friday, Glen told me to give them a call around friday if I haven't heard anything yet. So I did, I talked to Ed who is the number I have and one of the guys who I interviewed with both times.
He told me I got the job and that I should have heard from the HR department, but I had to go through HR to get the paper work and everything else worked out. Ed also said he would shoot them an email and to give him a call if I hadn't heard anything by Monday afternoon. Which is today.
I called Ed about three and left him a message saying I hadn't heard anything from HR yet.
I hate waiting, it makes me start to doubt things. Now I'm wondering if I dreamed it all up.
