Well, first of all, I found out I'm still in the running for the job I wanted so bad. I had given up due to lack of response, but the guy emailed me saying he got really swamped with work and will try to do 2nd interviews this week or the next. So keep your fingers crossed! I guess its okay to tell this much, its a place that makes video games. The job would be making the signs and in store flyers. That sounds SO FUN!!! AND, they seemed to have such a great attitude there! I was most impressed with that. Their philosophy is what I've always envisioned in the perfect company. And its a big, financially stable company too! I'm so tired of the rinky dink hole in the wall places I've been working at.
The second good news, I have an interview at a major department store's home office in Dallas! Its this HUGE place with its own workout center and cafeteria and stuff like that. Its like its own little city! I would LOVE to work at a place like that! Think of how many people I could meet! I know, I've sworn off making friends at work, but where's a better place to meet people? Of course I would be way way careful and super suspicious of everyone. I think the main thing is for me not to invest so much into these things. I think I've learned my lesson with that. And the job sounds really cool too, it involves photography and the layout of products as well as the graphics part. Basically, it would draw on more artistic talents than I've ever had the chance to use before. And a place like that has room for advancement, I've never had that before!!!
So I don't know which one to root for, but I'm so excited to actually have the opportunity for both. If I don't get either, I'll learn what my mistakes were and keep trying. That's definitely better than sitting around complaining about how bad my job sucks (which is all I hear everyday at work).
Wish me luck. I'm determined to get a better job.
