So I had another job interview yesterday. The posting was for an administrator/receptionist and I was unclear as to who the job was actually for since the contact was a legal recruiter. I learned upon arrival that the job is actually for the recruiting company itself. The interview seemed to go really well and I held off from writing about the job on this blog since I didn't want to jinx it. They said they would call me today telling me the news.
I waited around at home all day so I wouldn't miss the call, and one of the interviewers finally called shortly before 5pm. I picked up the phone and we did the usual greetings and how-are-yous. Then he says, "Well, I have some bad news..." and I died a little inside, replying "Oh... okay." Then he says, "You got the job. You're going to have to work for us."
I'm going to have to learn to take NOTHING he says seriously. It was all in good fun though. He and the other woman I interviewed with (both will be my bosses) are hilarious, and the office seems to be pretty relaxed and fun (except when big clients or company higher-ups come in). The office is going through some major changes right now that sound like they'll keep my job lively. The office will also be moving to new a new building sometime before Christmas. I'm super excited to start on Friday.
