She has a job interview tomorrow a.m.
INCREDIBLY tough job market to try to re-enter after working part-time for 15 years while raising kids.
This job is with a different office of my employer.
I know several people in the office, and have been wearing out the phone lines.
She would be phenomenal at the job, which I expect should be readily apparent to the interviewers, and it would be a very good fit for her and us.
Think she should have a good chance, but have no idea how many folk are being interviewed.
As best I have been able to determine, should be a pretty quick turn-around, so I hope to be able to give some good news quickly!
Thanks for the karma all. Wife is super psyched and prepared. The best thing is that we know she would be a good fit for the job, so se isn’t thrying to BS her way into a job she is not qualified for.
That other lot is long gone, StG. Besides, we currently live about 20 miles west of Chicago along a commuter train line (for me). She is interviewing for a job about the same distance S of the city along another train line. So we would probably buy/build in that direction so as to give her the easiest commute possible. On of her first comments, tho, after she told me she had gotten this interview, was to say, “If I get this job we’ll put our house on the market.” Somehow made it not quite as annoying last night when the stupid skater punk next door was banging around in his driveway with his stupid skater punk friends at 10:30 at night. . .
She said she’d call me as soon as the interview was over. Its been an hour and a quarter now - which I figure has got to be a good sign. Sure hope they aren’t just running late and keeping her waiting.
So on the one hand, I want the damn phone to ring. On the other, the longer it take, the better.
Meanwhile, I’m getting NOTHING done here! As opposed to most days, when I get - uh - not a heck of a lot more!
Well, her 30 minute interview lasted an hour and a quarter.
They are interviewing 5 people, and need someone on board by the end of September - could be sooner.
Now we wait. . .
24 years married yesterday (at least 1 or 2 happily!) Seems like the less time we spend with each other the better we get along . . .
As she called me on her way home she was driving through cornfields and forest preserves. Said she really liked the looks of the area where the job was, and would really like to move there. Depending on how we want to play it, we might be able to get an acre - maybe even more. You folks may have to start referring to me as “Squire”!
