I have an interview Monday

I had a phone interview today and was asked if I could be available for a visit on Monday.

The interview today was called a screening, but the titles of the people I talked to were all high level managers. The position will be a little bit of a challenge but would involve stuff I have always been fascinated with and some of my long time passions.

I have had phone interviews and face to face interviews, but this just feels right.

If this falls in place and our house sells, I will be on top of the world.

I met with managers at the location I would be working should I get the position. Today I met with the CTO.

I am thinking it's positive!

Waiting to hear what's next.

and I don't miss the interview process. However, this sounds like a great opportunity - challenging, yet interesting. Hopefully the fact that this is something you really want brings out the best in you.

Did you get that job? Did you land a different job?

I certainly hope you found what you were looking for.

Worked for the for 3 months they were caught overcharging clients. The closed several offices and laid off many people.
I worked a couple of contract jobs over the last year and the took a retail job just to keep paying bills.

But, I have had a really good second interview a few weeks ago and a message that I should expect an offer in the coming week. It will not pay what I used to get, but should be a real fun job combining a hobby with my career and work for a small family company with big aspirations. Should be fun and rewarding.
