Because I started this blog after I started my job search and after I got wind of my lay off, I have some back-story to fill in. For example, last week I had two interviews and filled out more than 30 applications. So this week is already a little full.
Last week's interviews were not stellar. One was, I thought, just fine. I did not blow it out of the water, but I did expect a second interview. So far no word on that one, so today I will email and try to instigate the next level. The other was a group interview. By that I mean that 2 people interviewed 7 people at the same time.I hated it. I almost walked out. ugh. So that is the very shot recap of last week.
This week's goal is 7 applications per day. I also have received my "outsourcing tools" from my current company, and even though they appear more than cheesy, I plan to spend at least 5 hours on them this week, just to ensure that I am doing everything possible to meet my goals.
I had another interview today. It was a bit crazy. A very nice older couple run a wholesale souvenir business and they are looking for a customer service oriented sales rep. I knocked this interview out of the park. However, the base salary pay scale is not quite what I'm looking for (although the commission would more than make up for that) and there are no health care benefits. So I should hear by the end of the week, and I think my answer will be no.
It feels weird to seriously consider turning down a job because of the pay and benefits, when I am soon to be entirely without pay or benefits. But I'm trying to not just get a job, but one I'd like to keep. Upward and Onward.
