A New Job (Maybe)
I've been out in the job market for the last couple of months. A few observations:
I've had a couple of real interviews, one resulting in disappointment as the position wasn't actually approved yet, and they couldn't actually hire for it. The other interview ended a little more fruitfully with an offer to come back for a second interview. Last time it was with a hiring manager and a VP, this time its with another VP and the CFO. Eek!
I'm going to be spending the weekend reading all 100+ pages of financial statements from last annual report of said gajillion dollar company. I'm not nervous. Yet.
- I don't like selling things, especially not me!
- There are way, way too many head hunters out there
- Monster is a really cool site, but their job agents really don't get the job done
- Clicking the "Apply Now" button on company websites is actually kinda fun
- Job interviews are not as scary as they were two years ago. There's maturity for you.

I always found I did well when I found the job on Monster, and then applied directly through the company's site. I also emailed, faxed and snailmailed my resume to the manager of the department where I was trying to get hired.
It worked really well.
Keep up the good work! --Girl
