Another job interview (updated) I, too, have a possible job switch coming up. The new job which I have an interview for tomorrow is still within the Mayo Clinic, but I would be able to work DAYS for a change as opposed to evenings I'm doing now. The hours are supposed to be 9am to 5:30pm. I'm not sure if I like that. If I started two hours earlier, it would be easier to carpool, and that would save me a shitload of money, plus then I'd get home around the same time as the kids when they get home from school. As for the job, it's a lateral move, so there's no real increase in pay. I'm a bit torn on this, but I really don't want to stay on an evening shift anymore and this may be the first step in getting away from that. There's one other job I applied for but haven't heard back from which would be about the same pay again, but it has the hours I want. Unfortunately I haven't heard back about that one yet.

Can you call to find out about the other job before accepting this one? | |

The manager of that one is gone for another week yet. | |

The manager of that one is gone for another week yet. Well, I'm sure they won't have you decide tomorrow if you want the job...you probably have time to explore your options. | |

It sounded like they wanted to fill this position as soon as possible, though. They'll probably make a decision by the end of next week. | |

"Tell me something about yourself.
Really, couldn't be bothered. Can I just give you a link to my website? "Do you have any previous sales experience?" Well, if you would have bothered to read my application before calling me in, you would have found that information from there. "Why are you applying for this job?" Because I need the money for the summer months. What, do you really expect selling TVs and DVD players for three months is some sort of definitive life goal for me? "What kind of qualities do you value on a manager?" That he'd have the common sense not to ask stupid ass questions like these. "Do you drink or smoke?" No. (pheew, so glad they didn't ask about my drug intake) | |

The interview (5 hours ago) was VERY casual. I was only interviewed by two people this time. The last few interviews I've been to have been at least 5 people. The hiring manager talked a lot more than I did or even could have. I did get the impression that they did want me for the job, though, based on my computer program experience and website development. They have two interviews on Monday, but one of them may not happen because they can't get in touch with that person. SO, if there are only three interviews and one of them is cancelled, and there are two positions open, I'd get the job! Turns out that I would get a higher pay, plus I'd be on call every 4th week and get "on call" wagesduring that time ($2.25/hour) for that full week (Monday evening through Monday morning)...let's see, that'd be 168 hours minus 40 hours times 2.25...$288.00 extra dollars that week! Hell yeah! They said that people have RARELY had to come in to work for a call-in problem, so that's even better.
I SOOOOO WANT THIS JOB! | |

Thanks! It sucks I have to wait another whole day, though. I guess it's better than waiting until Friday like I thought I'd have to. | |
