3 Down 1 To Go

Here is the scoop!

The first interview of the day was a call back. I got there early so I sat in my car and slept. (I can sleep anywhere). There were 2 guys who interviewed me this time...it was the two owners. One of the owners is from England and has that great accent. The other one is a hippie. He even said he was and he still looks like he is one. I wonder if he still gets stoned every night or if he is just slow in nature. I was told at the end of the meeting that the first interview was conducted by the consultant, she then decided who would come in for the second interview to meet each owner...then the last interview...this is when I wanted to scream...would be held next week. They would discuss tomorrow who to call back. After we talked some more and I shook his hand to leave he said, "I will be seeing you next week." I don't know if he was saying I would be called back yet a 3rd time or if he was just being nice.

The last 2 interviews were at a hospital downtown. I got there early so I sat in the nice lobby. There is a piano, one which plays itself, in the lobby so I sat in the nice and comfy chairs and listened to the player and watched people come and go (for over 45 minutes...I said I was early!) Wow! People do come and go at that hospital! Anyway, about 10-15 minutes before my interivew I walked to the department to have my interview and check in. The gal who announced me to the interviewer came back out to me and said "You already have 2 thumbs up!" I asked why and she said the interviewers were so surprised and happy that I was on time let alone early! I was shocked. She said most people are late....anyway...the interview went great....better than great really. In the end I asked if I needed to do anything or what I was lacking in order to be hired and I was told I needed to do nothing...as far as they were concerned I was a perfect fit for the job. I was told I would hear something next week....hurray! Then I was asked what job I was being interviewed for tomorrow at the same hospital...I told them I had NO IDEA and we all laughed. I said, HR called me so many times yesterday and they didn't tell me. I just took the interviews and they gave me the times to be when and were!

I sure hope to get a job at the hospital, which is 3.3 miles away from home! The pay is well, I don't want to go there...but there is something about being close to home and awesome benefits!

I guess I will know more next week. Stay tuned to this channel!

Lifting Baby


I have recevied so many of these and think they are so funny! I will post a few here and there whenever I get the chance.

Ebay and Cracking Like An Egg

Those markers are now over $70 bucks! I am very excited!

Today is going to be a big day for me. With 3 interviews I hope I can hold up and not crack under all the questions.

OH WOW!

Here is the newest and greatest update! I have a second interview with the job, which I bombed the test on yesterday tomorrow at 2 PM. Then I have 2 interviews for Clarian Health tomorrow night at 5 PM. On Friday, I have another interview at 9:30 AM for yet another job at Clarian. There are 3 jobs open at Clarian and each of the managers want to interview me! I am very happy to get this opportunity...No doubt I will be exhausted by the end of it all! Normally one interview is enough for me to want to lay down afterwards. Now I have 4 within the next 2 days. PHEW!

2 at Clarian North

I just got another call....well, actually 3 today from the recruitment department..there is another manager who is interested and wants to meet with me. Looks like I may have 2 interviews on Friday with CH! Cowabunga!

Incredible!

I got a call from the place I interviewed with yesterday (the one which I failed the test!) and they have called me back for a second interview tomorrow at 2 PM. They must be desperate but I am so happy for the chance! I have an interivew with Clarian North on Friday at 9:30 a.m. I also should hear from St V's within the next few days. It would be awesome if I had my choice of the 3 jobs to choose from. I wouldn't necessarily choose the one, which offers the most $ because benefits mean a lot to me!

Bad Interview

Well, the talking part went well but the test didn't go well AT ALL. The test was 3 pages...I didn't know what FF&E meant. I never seen this before. It wasn't in the book I bought and it wasn't on any of the thousands of websites I have been on. So I couldn't finish the test in the time given. Each page had this listed and on the last 2 pages, I had to write general entries using FF&E. The last page I had to do T journaling and once again it had FF&E...at the bottom, I had to give totals. Since I didn't know FF&E, I couldn't even start. I called my friend Luci on the way home. She has been a bookkeeper for 10 years and never heard of the term. She looked on the web and couldn't find anything. When I asked the lady I was interviewing for what it stood for she looked shocked...

I did get a call today from Clarian North...they want me to come in for an interview...my phone interview was yesterday. A big $12 bucks an hour. Nice, 41 years old and I may be able to get a job at a pay rate I had 15 years ago...

Today is the day

I have a very important inteview today. The only issue with the interview is with the testing. I am afraid of the test. I can do the work, I just don't do well on the test. To bad the test isn't in typing or something like that...it is accounting and I still don't know all the principles of accounting and I have been studying off and on for almost 3 days.

Maggie is STILL sick! She is coughing something fierce. Her temp was right under 100 degrees but she woke up crying. Makes me sad!

I will update blog after interview....

Oops!

I meant to say "Jack" Nasty Virus...not nasty jack virus.

I am getting ready for my interview tomorrow! I am looking forward to getting the job.....

Phone Interview Today

THEY FINALLY CALLED! CLARION HEALTH CALLED AND WANTS TO DO A PHONE INTERVIEW!! Today at 2:00 p.m. Hip Hip Hurray!

I took Maggie to doctor. She does not have strep or a urine infection. Dr. went ahead and ordered an xray of her chest because she refused to breathe. He was checking to make sure she doesn't have phenumonia. Should know by the end of the day. Dr. believes she has the nasty jack virus going around. There were lots of kids in the office with the same issues. We even seen a child in the xray waiting area...the same as us.

I have a good feeling. I think I will have a job by the end of the month. Won't it be great to have a few to choose from?

Goodness

I am taking Maggie to see MD at 10:45...Mommy should be rid of those darn kids at 11:00 so she plans to meet me there (Inside joke about being rid of the kids...)

Price of markers on sale on ebay continue to go up! LOVIN' IT! Hello money...good bye markers (which I never use!!) I wonder what else I can sell..........

It's Monday

My little niece is still SICK and still running a fever. She had to stay home from school on Friday. She laid around all weekend...and since she wasn't fever free for 24 hours (still running fever today too) she had to stay home today. Mommy is working half day and will be taking her to MD this afternoon...AT LEAST the "fluid" isn't coming out her mouth!!...but coughing seems to be worse today. It breaks my heart to see her so limpless!!

I have been studying for my accounting test tomorrow. Feeling better about things since I got a workbook. Just hope I can remember what I have learned today for tomorrow...HAHA!!

Help Me Rhonda, Help Help Me Rhonda!

Although thankful for it...I have another interview on Tuesday at 1 PM. Bookkeeping position...something I can do. My only issue is they want me to take an accounting test...UGH! I can do the work, I just don't know all the "proper terms" like Principle of continuity and words like that. Seems simple but normally they describe things in story telling mode. I never did to well with story problems. SO...I went to Barnes and Noble and purchased a book with quizes. I hope to get through the entire 300 some pages by Tuesday! WISH ME LUCK!

Markers on ebay are over 40 bucks! Go me!

Major

Bad headache today! Whew! I can't believe it is over. It took forever. I think the stress of the week got to me and wham bam it took the form of an awful pain in my sinuses. I wouldn't wish headaches on anyone!

I have a new love. I purchased beads about 4 years ago and with my SIL making bracelets I got my beads out. I have re-strung some old bracelets into new ones using both the old parts and the beads I had already purchased and I have found I love wearing them again! I have crafted old into new and it has been really fun!

I also made a bracelet and necklace for one of my friends daughter...my friend doesn't wear jewerly but her tween does! Pictures forthcoming!

No Job For Me!

With a 50/50 chance, I didn't get offered the position. That really blows.

I am still going at it and applying for everything I am qualified for and hope someone will decide to hire me.

I still have no regrets leaving the other company. Maybe some think I should but I don't. I wasn't being treated right and for one of the first times in my life I stood up for myself. I am very proud of doing it too.

Wednesday Night

Tonight I went to stamp camp. There are several women who work at the different hosptials and I was told to apply every week at the hospitals and if necessary, call every week. I was told Riley needed help despartely. I don't want to have to drive that far...but will do so to get my foot in the door if it comes to it.

Tomorrow (Thursday) I have an interview at 10:00 a.m. It is a temp position for 10 weeks. It is on the NW side of Indy. I prefer the NE or N but will take what I can get at this point. The job pays well. I am really wondering if it is a temp position because the company I am going to had an ad for the exact position I am interviewing for. I just wonder if they had a hard time finding candidates and are going the temp to hire route but hasn't let on. I will do my best in the interview...put on a smile and be the best interviewer I can be. It is so exhausting!

I should know about the St V's job in about 4-10 days. I think I would like that job because they pay their people to go to collage. I need to get a degree in something! Maybe nursing would be a good thing for me...I don't know.

Two Calls Today

One phone interview and one interview. The second is a 10 week assignment. I sure wish I knew if I had the job at St V's or not. If I don't get the job, I wouldn't take a 10 week assignment...I don't want to take a temp job and have to quit after I said I would do it for 10 weeks...it just isn't right. If I get the St. V's job a temp job until it started would be awesome.

I just have to let it go and what will be will be.

Hold The Ice

I hope this link is still a good one.

Thanks mom for passing it on to me.

Another One Bites The Dust

The job, which I was over qualified for was passed onto a person for which the job would be a "step up" and not step down (For me it would be down). The practice administrator asked if she could pass my resume on with her online network and of course I said yes. I am very discouraged right now. I know it will pass but right now I feel like crap. I am seriously thinking I should "dumby down" my resume.
