Wish me luck (job related)

[Buck]

On Saturday, my entire department was asked to go to a off-campus satellite office to help another department (technically part of our company, but a complete different branch) who was in dire need of help. Only half our department showed, but the rest of us worked hard to get things done. The supervisor took note of my leadership and skill with their computer systems and took me aside and asked me to apply for a job she has open. She recognized my name from a job I had applied to previously (about 2 years ago), and anyway, we really hit it off.

This would be a major promotion within the company and would come with a significant pay increase.

I just finished updating my resume and going through the application process. Tomorrow I will finish the work she had expected us to finish by about Friday or Saturday.

I'm very excited. Wish me luck.

Go Chargers.

Edit: I got the job.

[Bugeater]

Good luck. Fuck the Chargers.

[TimBone]

I really do hope you get it, bud. I think I remember the last job you mentioned.

[RealSNR]

Eat a dick

[C3HIEF3S]

Best of luck, Buck! :thumb:

[cdcox]

Best wishes. Knock 'em dead.

[Buck]

I really do hope you get it, bud. I think I remember the last job you mentioned.

I think the last one I posted about was for a promotion within my dept that I didn't get. I had been in the dept for about 20 months and the job went to someone with 10+ years experience. If I were to land this opportunity it would be a step above that position I didn't get.

[thabear04]

If you get the job eat a California burrito.

[TrebMaxx]

Good luck.

Fuck the Chargers.

That is all.

[Tacoman]

Crush it!

[Buehler445]

Good luck man. Just remember nothing is easy, even if this chick asked you to apply. Go prepared and kick ass.

Fuck the Chargers.

[Rain Man]

Good luck. And if asked about your greatest weakness during an interviews, it's that you care too much.

[DanT]

That is very good news, Buck. The fact that you made a good impression on the supervisor will pay off down the road, even if you don't get the specific position you're shooting for right now.

[BigRedChief]

Is your resume tech related? If so, if you want me to look at it and give you some tips, suggestions let me know.

Good Luck!

[LiveSteam]

Good luck Buck.
Go get one for Brady's thumb

[-King-]

Good luck. Fuck the Chargers.

This.

Good luck. And if asked about your greatest weakness during an interviews, it's that you care too much.

Do you ask that when you conduct interviews? What are some of the best answers you've heard and what are some of the worst?

[Coochie liquor]

Good luck brotha, and screw the stupid Chargers!

[Ming the Merciless]

Break a leg!

Fuck the chargers but you got this job in the bag

[Hoopsdoc]

Good luck. And if asked about your greatest weakness during an interviews, it's that you care too much.

Wouldn't that be being a Charger fan?

Oh, and good luck, Buck.

[big nasty kcnut]

Good luck we all cheering for you. Also chargers sucks!

[Dallas Chief]

Good luck dude! That is pretty awesome to hear!

[raybec 4]

So it turns out the supervisor was just a mod fucking with Buck from an old account. He's super butt hurt.

[DaFace]

Good luck, man.

[The Franchise]

Do you ask that when you conduct interviews? What are some of the best answers you've heard and what are some of the worst?

We ask it in every one of our interviews. We ask what their supervisor would say is their strong points and what they would say are their weak points.

Good luck man.

CRUSH THAT INTERVIEW LIKE PHILLIP RIVERS IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!

[Buck]

Had my interview today and did well. I've had interviews that went well before and didn't get the job, so I'm not assuming I got it.

Will know by Friday she said.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.

Hope you get the gig bro! I started the 2015 season today myself in the most lucrative job I've ever had. Basically will make 150 this year minimum, unless i fuck it up and get fired. Performance standards are HUGE at this place. For that kind of scratch though I'll put on the monkey suit and head back to corporate life!

[Buehler445]

Here's to hoping, Buck.

You have to like your chances if you were asked to apply.

Awesome to hear buck. Good luck.

If they don't take you, I definitely think you should leave sbarro and head over to qdoba. There's always another option. :p

In-house timeshare sales. Basically selling more timeshare to existing owners. I've busted my ass for 5 years to get this opportunity. I'm excited, yet nervous enough I can puke at any given time. I've never been close to this kind of money. 150-300 is the range I'm looking at this year, and the timing is perfect. The people who raised me are now retired and it's my turn to help them and I Thank God every day for the opportunity I now have to do that. Failure is not an option.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. Sorry Buck, didn't want to start my own thread.

Just got asked to come back for a second level interview tomorrow. This is a good thing right?

Never had a second interview before.

Never had a second interview before.

A 2nd interview for my last job meant that they narrowed it down to two candidates and needed to get some more information or they feel that they didn't get the answers they were looking for.

[Trivers]

Huge!

You made the past the hardest round...the first cut.

Just be yourself. think through the answers. and don't blow smoke.

2nd and 3rd round...is usually more about how you will mesh with the team more than your technical skills.

[Buck]

The first interview was with someone I didn't know at all really (other than a name included in some emails sometimes). My 2nd interview is with the lady who actually recommended that I apply.

[Sassy Squatch]

Probably yours to lose at this point if she's in charge of remaining interviews.

[The Franchise]

This. If she recommended you and she's doing the interview....it's probably yours.

[Bufkin]

Good luck Buck. Remember not to whip your dick out. Statistics show this lowers your chance of getting hired by nearly 4 percent.

Good luck, Buck! If you need further recommendations or something like that, I'm sure several CPers would be willing to provide. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't mention CP. ;)

I already told them that 40k+ posts on a internet football message board was my best trait.

[DaFace]

Nice - that's definitely a good sign. You'll find that, in many cases, the higher-level the job is, the more steps that may be involved in getting the job. As frustrating as it may be to keep putting time into it without knowing if you're hired, every step you make it through means that you're competing with fewer people.

Good luck with interview #2!

[Bugeater]

Every time I've had a second interview I've always gotten the job

[Buck]

Cool. I'm fairly certain I've got it unless I screw up the interview. I worked with this lady personally and she saw how competent I was so I'm excited. Until I found out the second interview was with her, I was sort of nervous cause I thought I may have not done well enough in the first interview.

If that were the case, they wouldn't be wasting their time with a second interview.

You're doing great, but look out for the third level; that's where the giant monkey starts hurling rivets down the girders.

Sounds stupid. Granted. Just believe! Visualize, and believe your dreams will come true. They're yours. Create the life you wish too have. You do that, and I'll stop eating sugar. Swear to God! ;)

Chief Butthurt! Yes!

Chief Butthurt! Yes!

I kinda like my old name better. :p

[Buck]

True, I just mean I feel so comfortable because I have a good rapport with her.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I can change it anytime! Lol, I was trying to be helpful too you!

[hometeam]

True, I just mean I feel so comfortable because I have a good rapport with her.

you might have to take one for the team

[Buehler445]

That's great, man. Just be prepared as if you didn't know her.

Kick ass and take names, man.

[Buck]

Today my boss pulled me aside and told me they are prepared to counter offer and I haven't even had my 2nd interview yet, but according to the her, it sounds like the other division is ready to hire me.

Unless it will make a huge difference in your overall financial situation, I'd still walk for the new job (assuming it has more long-term prospects). Money isn't everything, so look for something you'll enjoy long-term and has some upward mobility rather than settling for a bigger paycheck to stay put for the foreseeable future.

And regardless, do your best with interview #2 so that you have the leverage to make the choice yourself. :)

The strangest thing happened. I was interviewed by 2 people today and the first lady asked how much I wanted, and then told me that she does the second level interviews and still has a few candidates to interview, and I was the first. Then she left and I sat in a room for 20 minutes by myself and then the lady who interviewed me on Monday came in and offered me the job on the spot.

[Bugeater]

Congrats man. Fuck the Chargers.

[KC native]

Sooooooooooo...how much semen did you have to swallow to get the job?

Ohh and congrats. I had an interview last weekend for a promotion. Interview went well. Fingers crossed.

Heh, her mind was made up.

That's rare in a lot of cases. Don't forget that dedication they had to get you, and make you happy. That's a great company right there. Almost the same as saying you're worth more than that to us! How great does that feel?

Does this mean you can get fellow cp members free vacations if we agree to listen to your pitch? You been holding out on us?

I've offered it before. Now though, I'm working for the best company in the industry. One who's product I'm purchasing myself. They're not free vacations, but they are heavily discounted stays with gifts included in return for 2 hours of your time to see our presentation of what our product can do to enhance your families vacations infinitely. I'm actually buying this one myself.

The only bummer is that to get the full array of benefits offered I'll have to buy it direct. Can't buy 3rd party with these guys and get all the goodies. Luckily I do get an employee discount. You wouldn't actually be with me though. I'm in a position where I only talk with people who own our product and encourage them to purchase more.

[Predarat]

Pretty much thought the job was yours from the OP, congrats, well done and best wishes. Sounds like a great move for you.
