fleaball Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 PS the salad was delicious. And dairy free! I realized I kinda wanted goat cheese on it because I wanted a creamy thing, but it didn't come with it and by the time I realized it the guy had already passed the cheese part of the line so I let it go. Still tasty. 6 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
WhiteGhost Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Good job on the interview. My guess is that the third lady was only there because HR has some requirement that candidates do 3 interviews or something and she was like "This has nothing to do with me so idec" but on the plus side it doesn't sound like she was hostile about it. 2 Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment

Yeah that's pretty much what it felt like, she was just there to check a box. The good thing was that she was scheduled to be my second person and the guy was third, but when supervisor lady went to fetch her she was busy or something idk, so dude came in instead. If I'd had the bored lady in the middle I might have been a lot more worried about how it was going and approached the part with the dude a lot differently. 3 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
fleaball Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Lawl. I'm looking at the business cards I was given at the end of each interview and the two not-supervisor people? Not just Team Leads, SVPs. I guess that maybe explains why I had to meet with them? 5 1 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
Severine Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 So all of that sounds pretty damn fantastic. I think you should feel really good about how that went. Fingers crossed an offer will be on its way soon but no matter what happens you've got to feel good about how you handled yourself and how you came across. 2 Quote Fitbit | Current Challenge | Old Challenges: 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 ~ 6 ~ 7 ~ 8 ~ 9 ~ 10 ~ 11 ~ 12 ~ 13 ~ 14 ~ 15 ~ 16 ~ 17 ~ 18 ~ 19 ~ 20 ~ 21 ~ 22 Forum avatar is custom art by the talented Veronica Guzzardi.

Jean Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I sure hope that means you're on for the higher up position.

fleaball Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I have no idea who it’s with yet. Recruiter’s email was just “the team felt things went well yesterday. Are you available to come in for one more interview next Tuesday or Wednesday?” She’ll probably tell me after it’s scheduled I guess? It seems like a lot for what’s basically an entry-level position. 5 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
fleaball Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 NOOOOOOPE. Just checked my email and it’s THREE MORE PEOPLE. One is the girl whos currently leaving the higher of the two positions for elsewhere in the bank. I didn’t get titles for the other two. Kill me. 6 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
Jean Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 That's good news. They couldn't hire you before having discussed the specifics (like salary, off-days, what position you're actually interviewing for... xD), if one of them is the HR manager, then they're the one with whom you'll be able to discuss this further. Don't sell yourself short, bargaining skills are thought after skills in many industries. That you get to spend some time with the woman leaving the higher up position may mean that you'd get to get a better view of what the job actually consists of. I'd not raise my hopes too much yet (because it's always hard to fall when we do) but definitely a good sign if you ask me. 4 Quote Legally bound to hug people in need.

Severine Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Agreed this is good news. The only downside is you need to change at least one thing about your outfit - new shirt, or new blazer, or whatever.

fleaball Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 You know what I just realized? All three people yesterday commented on the fact that I was taking notes while they talked. Like they didn’t expect it. But to me it’s like “duh of course you takes notes in an interview (even if it’s bullshit to look like you’re taking notes.)” 35 minutes ago, Tanktimus the Encourager said: Agreed. Go shopping tomorrow, ok? Not gonna lie, my first reaction was “fuck, I have to buy another shirt.” This time will be easier though, because I tried on another one at Kohl’s that @NeverThatBored told me to get and I didn’t. >_> So all I have to do is go back and grab it, and they had plenty of them. 2 hours ago, Jean said: That's good news.

fleaball Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Iiiiii quiiiiiit liiiiiife. My brother just woke up and told me a chunk of a tooth broke off this morning. It was 5:10pm and I was like “uhhhhh the dentist is closed tomorrow so maybe you should call now in case they’re still open???” And he asks if I can call for him because “I never know what to say when I call people. I don’t know how to start the conversation.” Dude. Fucking really? So I call while he’s sitting two feet away from me. “Hi receptionist lady, my brother just told me a chunk of his tooth fell off. What do?” Eventually I just put the phone on speaker because I was tired of relaying questions and answers back and forth. I get that people don’t like making phone calls. I don’t like making phone calls. But “my tooth just fell apart and I don’t want to do anything about it because I don’t want to talk on the phone” is a new level of bullshit ugh. 2 1 1 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
