Hubby's at an interview right now.


Recommended Posts

By any chance are you guys out celebrating?

No, not yet. The interview went well. He's feeling pretty good about getting an offer. It's just a 3 month contract job with no benefits. But that's good for our short term goals and long term plans to move away out of the rat race.

 

This company never hires anyone directly. They always do a 3 month, then 6 month contracts during your first two years and THEN they might hire as a direct employee. But it's a company with a good reputation.

 

They said they'd call by Friday evening.

Hope it goes well and that you have good news soon. :)

 

Last year when DH was looking for a job we had a funny story...he finally got an interview and had on the "power suit". DD said, "Oh Daddy, you are so handsome! You look like the President!" :lol::lol:

 

We died laughing on that one. That was probably the first time she saw him in a suit. :001_smile:

Missed the original post but will be hoping and praying for good news for you on Friday!

Praying that you receive good news!

 

He got a response to one of his "Thank you for the interview emails" from one of the interviewees yesterday saying that if he didn't get offered this particular job there were several other openings, she listed them, and would he be open to considering those. Of course!

 

So perhaps if not this one, then an alternate at the same company?

That's a good sign. Keep us posted. :lurk5:

Fingers crossed! Sounds promising.

We're speculating that dh didn't get the job.

 

One of his friends, former colleague from previous job where all the layoffs happened, posted on Linkedin that they just got a PM job at that company yesterday.

 

Coincidence?

 

DH hasn't gotten his "Dear John" yet, but we think it's in the mail.

 

Today he's handing in all his hardware at the old job and disability will be over and the layoff formally begins.

There are other fish to fry, but :grouphug:. Would have made a smooth transition.:grouphug::grouphug:

Don't be so quick to assume a "no". After my DH accepted the job he started May 1st, not one, not two, but *THREE* of the companies who had been stalling on making a decision for *MONTHS* (one since October if you can believe it!) came back to him asking if he was still interested. He had written them off as dead because he hadn't heard anything for so long.

 

He's convinced that the labor market is starting to turn around because he's also gotten a couple of headhunter calls.

 

Good luck! :grouphug:
