uyyy... :(

So I still haven't heard from the department in Houston with Company X. I really want that job. I e-mailed my contact person about two weeks from when I went to interview and I got an automatic reply from his e-mail telling me that he was out of the office until Oct. 27th because he was in Nigeria. I got a phone call the next day from another representative from the same department telling me that she was in Argentina and that they weren't going to be able to get back to me until the following week. I started getting scared so when a different department in Company X called me for an on-site interview I said yes. I just went this past weekend. I flew down to Fairfax, VA on Sunday, and returned last night. I enjoyed the experience but I really prefer the department in Houston since the job seems to fit my personality much better as well as I really really like Houston. A friend of mine, received an offer from the same company but with a different department down in Houston as well and has offered to get an apt. with me. Unfortunately, I still have no offer and I'm really worried. Let's see what happens. :(

My Interview!!!

So I went to Houston this past Thursday to interview with Company X. I left Worcester Thursday at 7 AM to catch a flight from Logan Aiport. My hostess picked me up from the aiport, and then we drove around Houston for a bit while she explained the different areas of the city. She then dropped me off at the hotel I would be staying at. She then pricked me up a couple of hours later to go to dinner. It was my hostess, a coworker, and myself. I asked questions about the department they worked in, about their new hire process and future career plans. The next morning, my hostess picked me up around 6:45 to go to breakfast and meet up with my first interviewer. My day ahead: 5 interviews back to back with a lunch in between. It was an awesome experience. I met a lot of brilliant, succesfull people who were all very excited about bringing new hires to their departments. They talked about their career paths, about their resposabilities and roles, and finally asked a couple of questions. My last interview was with the head recruitment person. His main job was to see if I was a good fit for the department. My hostess took me back to the aiport and I flew back to Mass. As nerve-wrecking as it was at first, I really enoyed my time there. It wa sa great learning experience and great practice for any future site interviewws I may have. I am really hoping I get an offer from them. We'll see what happens! ;)

Got an Interview!

So Company X called me back. They've asked that I come to Houston to interview with them on October 9th. I'm so excited! It will be a full day interview process in which I will interview with five different people. To prepare for this I'll make sure I have a good professional wardrobe for two days. I will also read about the department and make sure I know some of the background, products/services, and have some questions prepared about the department as well as the company in general. We'll see how it goes!!!!!
