Ok sooooo....

1st of all ...Ya know how Grey's Anatomy uses song titles for ALL their episodes... Ive been trying to figure out what I can use as titles for all my blogs...Ideas welcome!!!

Interviews Interviews...
I went to LV again this past weekend to meet with another potential. Things went very well, the interview/lunch took 3 & 1/2 hours!! Wow is right... We talked about all kinds of things & to be honest I felt I was a shoe in!! BUT...The email came yesterday that he had chosen not to hire me. In a way I was relieved - I mean I wanted the job, I want to move to Vegas...But on my drive home Sunday I just felt like maybe this one wasnt right. SO...Had he extended an offer to me I may have experienced a lil anxiety on what to do!

All things work out in the end yes!!

Speaking of ...I havent heard ANYTHING from the previous company...Not even a return email for the thank you email I sent. As Ive waited to hear from that one I think Ive realized it didnt feel 100% right either...ya know...

Many things on my mind...Should I stay or should I go?! Was all this to open my eyes to what I have here @ Beacon? (great boss, great pay, flexible hours, potential for a raise SOON) ...Or maybe to just let me know I COULD fit in out there somewhere... Maybe to push me along to widen my horizons to new ppl, new ideas, new friends... I dunno... Whatever will be Will be :o )

Interview

So...
I feel like I did VERY well in my interview...The guys I met were awesome to talk to.
We talked casually & businessly (?!?? lol)...
It sounds like an amazing opportunity! It sounds like what I am looking for & It definately sounds like they are looking for ME ...

At the end of the interview I was told
'We will be on hiatus for about a week to 10 days cause the owners are on vacation & I know they will want to chat a lil & do an interview as well...So dont think we've fallen off the earth or that we've forgotten about you... Email anytime to check in on things, keep in touch over the next week...It was a pleasure to meet with you & get to talk to you...'

They both seemed impressed with me, with my abilities, my portfolio & my flexibility in WHERE I could go in the company...
The options they talked about BOTH seem incredible! & BOTH are things I could see myself doing!
~~As the company grows they will need:
1- Someone who can step up & be head of all financial systems. This person would have managers in A/P, A/R, HR, etc answering to them (!!!)
2- Someone who would be the right hand to the owners. Keep them up to date on the progress of all the department, keep them organized & keep track of all their scheduling (personal asst type-!!!)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... I feel good about it !!

I will admit, when I left I was like
Why didnt they immediately gimme the job? What did I do wrong? What more could they want?
Then after I thought abt it I realized that was my preliminary face to face...These guys dont do the hiring - the owners ultimately make that decision! These guys simply do a lil weeding out!...
Im proud to say I do believe Im a flower left in the garden!! ;o )

Will letcha know when I hear more!!! :o )

ps...If it doesnt work out maybe I can get a date with one of the guys that interviewed me...27, adorable Boston accent, broad shoulders, cute smile, great sense of humor... HaHaHa

"Say a Lil Prayer 4 Me"

I guess I should start by telling you that Ive been looking for an Admin position in Vegas since I got back from the conference!
Actually I have wanted to move to Las Vegas for about 3 years now.
In the past things just never worked out & it never felt 100% right...
The events that transpired due to the conference lead me to believe that its time to look again!
...First off, I found ppl to split gas costs w/ me; next when I met everyone @ a luncheon I wasnt even going to attend cause I didnt pay to register -I read one of the class schedules & noticed I share the same last name with one of the teachers; then wouldnt you know it our host actually knew the guy!! I got to meet him & we started chatting. Not about family stuff but about careers. He proceeded to tell me that his daughter just left an amazing company & that they were desperately looking for an Office Manager...
??!??!
Where'd this come from...
I mean I know Id been feeling like it was time for a change - Time to take a risk - I dunno time for me to move forward BUT I never expected to have it hit me like that!
I decided to check out some postings on craigslist.com & to my surprise there were at least 5 a day I could (& did) apply for! & to ADD to that...I found several condos/apts/homes for rent in NICE areas at AFFORDABLE prices!
If it hadnt hit me before that this was the change I needed it definately had at that point!!
SO...I havent heard from my distant cousin or the company BUT
I have applied for some amazing positions. After several emails claiming to be a legit textile company in London & one very non-professional phone call...I sailed through a phone interview yesterday with a Land Management company based in Northern Cali with a small office in Vegas...
I HAVE AN INTERVIEW Saturday!!!
Im excited, anxious, nervous & giddy all rolled into one!! :o )
...I really feel like this is the move Ive been looking for...
