Herckle and Legal I will keep "everything" crossed for you to receive the news you deserve and want. Sounds like you are both working at this full-time. Have heard before that looking for a job is a full-time job and I believe that is true.

As someone who just recently got a new job I can tell you that looking *IS* a fulltime job! Just keep plugging away! The hardest part is getting an ACTUAL interview. Once you get into the door -- just shine!

Well, I went to my second interview at the hospital on Monday....despite a few a-holes who seemed to have attitudes in regards to giving me simple directions, the lady I met was nice. We talked for a while then she tested me....I won't hear anything until next week, so we'll see. Meanwhile I got a call from one of my temp agencies today for a possible temp-to-hire assignment at an engineering place.

WHOOPEE!! I just received a call from Aetna, inviting me back for a second interview on the 24th. They've whittled it down from 15 people to 4, and there are 2 jobs! I have a 50% chance of landing this!!!

Thanks, Rosie. This afternoon I also applied for a job in my field just posted by Oxford Health Plan, located in Trumbull, which is very close to where I live.

Ok, no one has been posting their updates in here. Hmmmmffff. I know things are going on for Legal and that she has a 10:30 appt on Friday with the Public Defender's Office (I think that's the job). So come on, folks, share your good (and bad) news here, so we can all help each other with how we're handling things! My news: My interview is still set with Aetna tomorrow at 11:00. And, now, wouldn't you know it, Oxford called me today, expressing interest!! I had left my cell in my coat pocket last night and just now realized it was there. (Never heard it ring.) Checked it and found their message! Aaah. Got myself settled with my resume in front of me and called them back. Nice call. Sounds like they won't quite meet the figure I was looking for, but I assured them that salary was negotiable. The timing of the interview is being settled now internally--but probably won't be til the beginning of Feb. I will receive a callback with the date. She also asked me about other interviews and I was honest in telling her I had a hot one tomorrow. She asked me to call her back if that one worked out for me. I agreed, sharing that the Trumbull location would be more convenient and that I was familiar with Oxford --as my daughter had their coverage at one point--and, as a result, I have lot of respect for the company. We gabbed some more and then, well, we'll see what happens tomorrow at Aetna!

OMG--Oxford just called back with an interview opening at 10:30 on Thursday! Wouldn't it be luxurious to have the option to choose!! (Just dreaming now, folks.)

YIPPEE, for Herckle! That would be SOoooo great to choose! Break a leg on both of them. My update, I sent out six application packets on Friday and will send out another six this week for jobs that have February due dates. I'm most happy that I found my undergrad transcript and can copy it instead of sending for a new one. I have my other transcripts, but a couple of jobs wanted the undergrad transcript. Good luck to all job seekers!

Thanks so much, Legal and Schoolmarm! Those gifs are great, Legal, and the Calvin one captures exactly how I feel--and looked like, I'm afraid when I was walking Herc a few minutes ago! Now Legal, you be sure to update us on all your news, too! Schoolmarm, that's great. Good prep work takes time. In your field, they'll need to take some time to look over everything carefully, but I bet your hear something within 10 days tops. Good luck to you and keep us posted! Anyone else with news?

Herkle...hiring in academia goes at a SNAIL'S pace. I expect to hear back no earlier than a month. Professors actually have to meet to screen the applications, and professors often have hideous schedules! You are lucky that you are working through human resources departments...they are much faster! That reminds me, I have to call our successful band director candidate today. It's strange being on both sides of the hiring process. So, to all of our interviewees...knock 'em dead (figuratively, of course!)
