I Need a New Job

My interview yesterday went quite well and I was asked back for a second interview at the business offices this morning. I rearranged my existing work schedule and showed up promptly at 7:40. I began to suspect something had gone awry when couldn't get into the office suite and no one came out to meet me.

Turns out the interviewer meant to tell me to come on Friday. The others we're meeting with weren't available this morning, so I have to go back tomorrow.

She apologized profusely and I laughed it off as no big deal because at least I'll know I'm in the right place tomorrow. She told me that I looked great and to wear the same thing tomorrow. I'm taking that as a sign that she's rooting for me.

A few minutes ago, she emailed me her cell number to call in the morning to let her know when I arrive, so she can let me in. I'm trying not to read too much into it, but that also makes me think she's leaning toward making an offer and this second interview is more of a formality.

You can drive yourself insane trying to read between the lines sometimes. Just go with the flow and if it's meant to be, it will happen.

@ProdigalSummer welcome to the club. I speak from experience
@ProdigalSummer Pretend you went in with explosive diarrhea... and then realize you haven’t. ✌️ Shit’s smooth after that. *giggles*
@JustGoneNow lol, I'll keep that in mind. And be sure to stay away from taco Bell today 😝

Oh yeah, that job is yours.
@Groofydorkgerdo I'm hoping that's the case

I think she likes you and she is rooting for you. I never call people in for a second interview, unless I think they have a very good shot at it.

Good luck tomorrow.
@Northwest I have a friend who works there. The interviewer told her that she really likes me. 😁

thats a real confidence boost - and yes, it does sound like it's mostly a formality
@firefall I think I'm meeting with her boss to get his approval. She's clearly confident I can handle the job. I just have to make him think that as well.

@ProdigalSummer awesome :)

Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
These are good signs. Maybe it was a stress test and they wanted to see if you’d lose your shit when something went wrong....
@Harmonium1923 perhaps so. She did ask a question about that yesterday.

Heres another possible test. The original interview time was 8:00 and then she emailed back to ask if I could be there at 7:40.


8 happens to be what time the center opens and 7:40 is when I'm expected to be there. She knows I live about 30 min away and have to drop my girls off at school before coming in. I think she was testing my ability to be there on time in morning traffic.
