I have an interview tomorrow afternoon 3:15 pm cst for a position in another dept, but still in the School of Medicine. I am very excited and nervous. I haven't had an interview in over 4 years. But, I have the qualifications, and the experience that they need. Here's the catch, my current job knows. I told them, so that they could make a counter offer.

I work for the state, so therefore, my salary leaves alot to be desired. This has been an issue for quite some time.

The cool thing is...I have currently got a ton o'peeps working on getting me a better salary all the way up to the Dean's office. :D

It really feels great to be actually appreciated for all that I do here! :P

BTW, the new position is funded privately.

I will keep you all informed on how it all turns out!

Please keep me in your thoughts (so I don't put my foot in my mouth tomorrow!)

Ditto from the Massachusetts wilderness. It is nice to be appreciated, isn't it? Especially in the money aspects.

I had a great interview. I was a little nervous, but, I feel that I would fit right into their dept. They were very nice, and extremely enthusiastic about my application. By working with them, I would be expanding the managerial part of my job. Which is what I have wanted.

So...whew! I am beat from all the nervous energy! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the well wishers, good thoughts people, and ++++ vibe senders!

You all ROCK! :D

I will tell more in the am...

Good Morning from rainy KC!

Well, this morning I sent out my thank you notes for yesterday's interview.

Ok, my dear friend/former boss who now lives in Florida called me. She wanted to tell me that they are calling my references. And, she wanted me to know that they are serious about hiring me! :D

I will keep you all in the loop!

Ditto!

And I bet he could find a neat photo of a WWII nightfighter to be his avatar! :)

Calling the references is definitely a good sign (at least, as long as you chose references.... wisely. :D )

Welcome to the bored flybrick!

Great news on the interview and checking of references. Luck wished, prayers made.


Mrs. Flybrick retired from the USAF last month as a Lt Col. I'm bailing out next summer, starting the job hunt thing now. Want (so to speak) to stay in the DC area due to the great schools our kids are in. But I want to escape as quickly as possible.

Cheers,
Brick

P.S. Marley, I'll work on the avatar thing............you kids and your new fangled boreds.....................

Hey, all our new toys have been the biggest attraction here!

But, if you'd rather, Rexer might let you play with the cardboard box.

If Molly will share... :)



Oh, and congratulations to Lt. Col. Mrs. Flybrick (ret.)

Hi Brick,

We just went through the retirement thing ourselves, well my dh did. I wish you well, and congratulations to both of you on your long careers. What job fields are the two of you investigating?

Cindy

An Offer has been made

Good Morning Everybody!

I was made an offer yesterday for the job I interviewed for on Tuesday. :lol:

I have requested all their benefit package information prior to making a decision. The job is not a state job. I would be working for a private non-profit medical company.

I have given my current job the information so that they could make a counter offer to me.

I will know more today. Thank you for all the encouragment!
