Interview went well

[sinjinh1]

The Interview went well today.  I was practically offered the job on the spot.  They're checking my references and background, and if everything goes well there, I have the job.  It's part time, but I'll take what I can get now.  Of course now I get to sweat out the waiting process and hope there aren't any problems with the references.  Or the credit check.  Background's pretty solid. <G>

I got to thinking today.  I think the reason I haven't been getting assignments from the temp agencies is, 1) there aren't any jobs, and 2) I don't have a  lot of office experience.  Most employers are looking for 5+ years experience while I only have 3.  So fingers still crossed that things go well.

Thanks. I'm starting to feel a little more positive.

Thanks. I'm hopeful. I should know in the next week.

Crossing fingers for you - sounds good! (And there's definitely something going on with temping over here too, jobs are much fewer and further between than they used to be, no matter how much experience you have - I think employers are saving money where they can, expecting their own people to cover more work, and just not hiring - even before we were told there was a "recession"...)

Thanks.

I think you're right about the temp stuff. I was hopeful that I would find a job through one of them, but companies just aren't going through them right now.
