More Opportunites, Better Outlook

It's a pretty good week, so far.  I have had an interview at least once a week.  My latest interview seemed to be a really good fit.  It seems like every time I get an interview, the job seems better than the previous job interview.

The interview went well and the person who I interviewed with seemed to connect really well with me.  We were laughing and talking about all of my experience.  There was nothing that prohibited me from showing my best side and from being the right person for the job.

For some reason, I have a lot of hope for this job.  It's a recruiting job that will allow me to recruit a variety of people.  I really like this idea although I don't get to just focus on IT recruiting.  The pay is pretty good.  It's not as good as my last interview which have haven't written about here.  But the pay is good enough that if they do offer it to me soon I am ready to go.

The previous interview I had last week was with an another IT company.  This one was located in the city and paid really well.  But it was only focus on IT.  Even the benefits were wonderful.  It was a dream job.  Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything this week from the person I spoke to so I'm almost thinking that it is not go.  That's okay.  I have a good feeling that the job I interviewed for this week, is something that I will have a really good chance at getting.

I hope I'm not getting my hopes up.  I e-mailed the person I interviewed with and thanked her for the interview.  She said that she's going to get a hold of me on Friday or Monday so I have something to look forward to.  But now I am extremely anxious for Friday and Monday to get here.

In the meantime, I have to figure out what I have to do with my job now.  I have to make sure that someone will be able to do my job and that there will be enough people to replace all the positions that I take care of right now.  That is going to be hard.  I have a feeling that I might wind up working on Saturdays with this company until they are comfortable with me leaving the job.  The other thing is I don't know if the new job is a contract job or a full-time job.  So if I get that phone call on Friday I will definitely asked the following questions:

1. Is this a full-time job?
2. If not, how long as the contract job?
3. And if this is a contract job, what do I get to do next?
4. Do I get benefits?
5. When is payday?
6. Do I get vacation time or time off?
7. Will I be required to work long hours while I'm training for the first few months?

I'm actually really excited about this new job.  It sounds like I'm going to be over a department of new hires and I'm in charge of things like payroll and making sure they get their jobs done.  I think I'm ready for this new challenge.

Every time I think that I have a good chance of procuring a new job, I always feel guilty about leaving my old job.  I really like working with my boss but circumstances now have it that I need to get a job that I'm passionate about and that will pay my living expenses.  I do have to say that this current job I have, introduced me to recruiting which I absolutely love.  And I wouldn't mind working with my boss and some of the people I work with in another capacity.

I do hope I'm not jumping the fence though.  But I'm really excited and I can't wait to hear what's going to go on.

Cross your fingers, say your prayers, send good wishes, I hope to have good news by the weekend or next week.
